157: From Coordinator to Firm Owner with AEC Marketing Maverick, Sarah Gonnella
Hey, hey! On today’s episode of Marketers Take Flight, I’m bringing you a powerful conversation with Sarah Gonnella—VP of Sales and Marketing and one of the four owners at Full Sail Partners. And, she happens to be my boss! Sarah’s journey from marketing coordinator to firm partner is packed with valuable insights, and she’s sharing it all with us today.
Sarah talks about her early days in marketing, including a chance mentorship from a printer (yes, a printer!) that set her on the path to success. She also opens up about the bold decisions she made to take her career into her own hands—like starting her own marketing consulting business when her role wasn’t aligning with her goals. You’ll hear how she navigated the challenges of rebranding and launching a new company in just 30 days—talk about resilience!
But what I love most is how Sarah embraces authenticity as a leader. She’s all about bringing her whole self to work and empowering her team to do the same. And trust me, the lessons she shares on leadership, growth, and thinking like an owner are going to light a fire in you!
So, if you’re ready to step into your authentic self and take your career to the next level, grab your earbuds, and let’s dive in!
