Zicklin GCMC Podcast

In this episode, Maribel Lara (MBA ’09), Senior Vice President and Head of Consulting at The Sasha Group, A VaynerX Company, speaks about what she calls “the pivot” that people can experience in their lives.* Students can put a lot of pressure on themselves about their first job out of their graduate program. When there’s that much pressure, it can oftentimes increase the chances of being disappointed.

Maribel talks about how she focused on the things she enjoyed working on, the things she wanted to learn and the work culture she wanted to guide her in her search.
