Her Interview
Ten minutes with Haley
01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
There's always a solution. If you get a no, you're asking the wrong person. Sometimes you're just talking to the wrong person, and you just have to take things with a grain of salt, and keep moving forward.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
It is so important to network and find people who have similar interests as you and goals, or just talk to people who own businesses a lot. It is important to have that community.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge is finding the decision makers. That's why I changed my ICP to be small colleges, because there is less boards that they have to get approval from. Opportunity-wise, I think about all the people that it can help.
