E91: The Power of Perseverance: A Chat with Carla Hassan

THE POWER OF REINVENTION with Kathi Sharpe-Ross

Although Carla never thought she would be where she is today, her childhood interest in accompanying her father at work and her fascination with being a boss foreshadowed her future success as the Chief Marketing Officer at JP Morgan Chase. Her earlier business accolades include senior roles at CITI, TOYS ‘R’ US, PEPSICO and KELLOGG’s.

She learned early on from her father the importance of HOW you do the job, rather than the importance of what job you are doing. Leaning into the things she was good at and gravitating towards what is comfortable to her is what allowed Carla to find her passion and excel in her career.

Carla believes that if one has a moral compass and focuses on being good to those around them, then everything will fall into place. Regardless of her success, Carla admits that it has not always been as “up” as it seems. She speaks about utilizing your "toolbox" and past experiences as a way to solve your current battles, along with reminding yourself that everything can be a lesson learned.

Some powerful takeaways from today’s episode:

• We are ENTITLED to be who we want to be
• Everything great sits on the other side of fear
• Stay true to yourself and the work will speak for itself
• Focus on how you do your job rather than what job you are doing
