In a standout session at the Women in Alliances Summit, Stephanie Kee and Asher Mathew delivered a refreshingly honest and empowering conversation about navigating career transitions in partnerships and tech.
Whether you're actively job searching, considering a change, or just want to stay prepared, this session offered practical guidance and heartfelt encouragement.
🔑 Key Highlights:
1. Know Your Value and Communicate It
Stephanie and Asher stressed the importance of owning your story and being able to clearly articulate your skills and accomplishments. But they went beyond the usual advice: They encouraged attendees to move beyond buzzwords and focus on quantifiable impact.
✅ Tip: Frame your experience in headlines that spark interest.
For example: “Delivered $2M in partner-led revenue while reducing onboarding time by 40%.”
2. Confidence Comes from Clarity
Asher emphasized that many job seekers falter not because they lack skills, but because they haven’t practiced how to present their experience with clarity and confidence.
Practice your pitch.
Get feedback from peers.
Refine your “why now” story for interviews.
3. It's a Sales Process – Sell Yourself
Much like selling a partnership, finding the right job is about positioning, persistence, and personalization:
Customize your approach for each opportunity.
Speak the language of the company.
Follow up, stay visible, and treat it like a pipeline.
4. Community is Power
Stephanie highlighted the importance of staying connected and not isolating yourself during a career pivot. Reach out, ask for referrals, and let your network know what you’re looking for.
5. Don’t Let a “No” Define You
Rejections are data, not definitions. Asher reminded the audience to treat each rejection as a signal to refine, not retreat.
This session was a powerful reminder that navigating the job market is both a strategic process and a deeply personal journey. With the right mindset, support system, and storytelling skills, you can position yourself for the role, and life, you want.
