After just one month at her new sales job at Costco, the CEO promoted Becky to Head of Global, running the business across 10 countries. In part 2 of our new live event series - Scaling Mentorship - Becky Frankiewicz, President of ManpowerGroup North America, talks about how she was able to accelerate her career time and time again as she rose the ranks to become an executive leader.
Two main themes come up through out the episode. The importance of finding mentors and people that you can learn from to help you make the right decisions, and the value of being willing to take on challenges that other people avoid and jobs that other people have failed in.
We get into specific stories about how Becky navigated difficult moments in her career and what she did to be able to change jobs multiple times, with directly actionable advice for anyone that's looking to make a change in their lives and do something they really want.
What I learned in consulting is that I'm okay not knowing how to solve a problem when I walk through the door. I know I'll find the right people to help me figure it out.
In my experience, mentorship has to go two ways. If not, it won't be sustained. In other words, if it's only about me getting better, the other person is not going to be interested for too long. And so it's a two way street, that is what makes it sustainable
I'm not asking you to make the way. I'm just asking you not to stand in the way.
