Ethan’s Book Club — Debrief & Discussion with Ethan Evans and Kristi Coulter, author of "Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career"
About the Event
Level Up Newsletter paid subscribers are invited to join this live session of "Ethan's Book Club" where Ethan and Kristi Coulter, author of "Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career" will debrief and discuss takeaways and concepts.
Kristi Coulter was "Stuck at Senior Manager" for 12 years at Amazon. Her book, Exit Interview, tells her story.
Kristi had big jobs and accomplished amazing things, including shipping new products, launching a whole new book imprint for Amazon, and more. Yet reorganizations, VPs with unreasonable standards, and other factors she can explain mean that she was never fully recognized or promoted.
If you feel stuck in your career, this talk is a must:
(1) Hear how and why Kristi ultimately moved on rather than keep chasing a promotion that was not coming.
(2) Hear Ethan's contrasting story, of how he was promoted, and their discussion of what might or might not have been possible in Kristi's case to change the outcome.
Register to join live. The event will be video recorded and shared after.
Note: Attendance and video recording access is only available to paid subscribers of the Level Up Newsletter. We will verify using the name and email you provide to register.
