Teacher to Customer Success: Classroom to Boardroom Success Story

In this latest episode of the Classroom to Boardroom podcast, I speak with former Classroom2 to Boardroom member Evan Warnock , an academic success coach at FEV Tutor .

We discuss Evan's career transition from teaching to customer success and how his skills as a teacher have translated to his current role. Evan shares his experience of leaving teaching, including the personal reasons that led to his decision and the guilt he felt about leaving his students. We also dive into the importance of soft skills such as empathy and the ability to take feedback in customer success roles.

We also discuss the supportive community and valuable coursework offered by Classroom to Boardroom . The episode highlights the challenges and rewards of leaving the classroom and pursuing a career outside of education.
