Who is responsible for your career growth? 🌱 On HubSpot's annual GrowDay, we get to take charge! This Friday is all about dedicating time to our own development. HubSpot's Learning and Development team have put together a cracker lineup with leader-led sessions, skills workshops, and self-paced team workshops. I personally can't wait to attend and connect with Hiroya Isa for his session on Creating a Long-Term Career Plan. Who else is ready to G(R)O? https://lnkd.in/g8n4B9Gt #HubSpot #EmployeeExperience #CareerGrowth #NeverStopLearning

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a very inspiring off-site at HubSpot's HQ in Cambridge, MA. Not only did I get the chance to meet the entire wider team in person, but I also took away a lot of key learnings. Here are my top 3 takeaways: 1️⃣Start starting: Those who know me know I love a good plan. But a plan that is not acted upon is like cooking dinner and never serving it. Even if the plan isn't perfect, embrace the "start starting" mentality. Move from planning to action early on—learn as you go, iterate, and don't be afraid to change the plan along the way. 2️⃣DISCovering team dynamics: All of us participated in a DISC assessment which revealed fascinating insights into our working styles. It was eye-opening to see how my motivator could be someone else's stressor and vice versa. This experience highlighted the importance of understanding our diverse personalities and leveraging our strengths to enhance collaboration. It’s a reminder that effective teamwork starts with self-awareness and appreciation of our differences. 3️⃣ The power of connecting: One of the standout experiences from our off-site was the opportunity to strengthen connections through dedicated, in-person time with colleagues. HubSpot's supportive hybrid work culture allows for flexibility, which I deeply value and appreciate. At the same time, meaningful face-to-face moments can be invaluable to build deeper connections, nurture teamwork and explore new ideas together. #HubSpotLife

I’m excited to share a story that highlights the positive impact of our HubSpot services. We recently partnered with a HubSpot agency from the UK struggling with capacity issues due to high demand, and the results were encouraging. The Challenge: Overwhelmed Team: The agency faced significant challenges during peak seasons, resulting in missed deadlines and reduced service quality. Need for Flexibility: They needed a way to manage fluctuating workloads without compromising their high standards. Our Solution: Initial Assessment: We carefully reviewed their processes, tools, and team capabilities to understand their specific needs. Customized Support: We provided targeted support during peak periods, ensuring projects were completed on time without overwhelming their team. Seamless Integration: We used their project management tools and communication platforms to blend smoothly with their workflow. Specialized Expertise: Our HubSpot specialists handled complex tasks, allowing their in-house team to focus on their strengths. The Results: Increased Efficiency: By offloading certain tasks to us, their team could concentrate on strategic initiatives, boosting overall productivity. Improved Quality: With our specialized expertise, the quality of their deliverables improved, leading to higher client satisfaction. Scalability: The agency managed more projects without needing permanent hires, providing greater flexibility and cost savings. Stress Reduction: Their team experienced reduced stress, resulting in a healthier work environment. Have you faced similar challenges with capacity issues? How did you address them? I’d love to hear your experiences in the comments! #HubSpot #AgencyPartnership #CaseStudy #Subcontracting #DigitalMarketing #BusinessGrowth

Exploring the strategic position/partnership: Visma and HubSpot I recently had the privilege of visiting the HubSpot headquarters in Dublin to focus on the strategic positioning between Visma and HubSpot. The primary goal of this visit was to identify how we can leverage and build the best frameworks to help Visma businesses grow and scale more effectively. The Importance of Business Processes Creating robust business processes is essential for several reasons: * Consistency: Ensures that operations are performed uniformly, leading to reliable outcomes. * Efficiency: Streamlines tasks, reducing time and resources needed for completion. * Scalability: Facilitates growth by providing a clear structure that can be replicated and expanded. * Quality Control: Helps maintain high standards across all operations. * Compliance: Ensures that the company adheres to industry regulations and standards. * Employee Training: Simplifies onboarding and training, making it easier for new employees to get up to speed. Thank You, Andrew Dungan, Sarah Finnegan, Brian Gallagher, Jason Bell , Coke Orellana Espinoza A big thank you to the HubSpot team for hosting us and providing such insightful sessions. The exchange of ideas was invaluable, and we look forward to a fruitful collaboration that will drive growth and innovation for both Visma and HubSpot. #BusinessGrowth #StrategicPartnership #ProcessImprovement #Visma #HubSpot #Efficiency #Scalability #growbetter

Love what Yamini Rangan, the recent interview of HubSpot CEO, said in a recent Bloomberg interview about her journey. "So many go through imposter syndrome, and it's just wasted energy and not going to help. Start with the future and then figure out our present." Also mentioned is Culture, "Culture as yet another product." The product keeps evolving instantly for customers. Similarly, evolve culture for employees. Like HubSpot thinks, What are the best features employees like, and what are the most requested features employees want? https://lnkd.in/ePg3qqsC #yuni_womenholisticgrowth #organizationalculture

Companies like HubSpot attract some of the best people on the planet with a product that's "good enough." They redefine the "Future of Work": ✅ Executive hires with solid net worth and side incomes who don't need to work ✅ Leadership that consistently disrupts the space and sits on top of the wave ✅ Innovation, education, and brand dominance that's nearly unmatched ✅ Partnership ecosystem around "scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" ✅ Formalizing global frameworks like "inbound marketing" and then bending the marketing funnel into a "flywheel" AI is taking jobs, full stop. Mediocre coordinator and assistant roles will fade in favor of veteran experts who 10X or more their productivity without a heavy and bloated team. Enterprises are going to shrink over time, increasing efficiency with leaner teams. This also elevates top talent so that: - They deliver more, better, and faster - Top marketers can build side incomes and diversified funnels that cover their payroll in a year - The fractional ecosystem makes more sense when yielding the output of the 2022 human is achievable in 4-6 hours Since this causes a conflict between career opportunities for experts and corporate interests, here's what top companies will provide to keep self-sustainable individuals in their top ranks: 👉 Positive brand businesses that align with their values. Branding is non-negotiable 👉 The opportunity to play with the latest and greatest systems (agents, robots, proprietary frameworks) 👉 Data pools used as a MOAT (having access to millions of sites/platforms is not something a solopreneur can access) 👉 Partners and vendors in the ecosystem 👉 Other A players who care about the same values Just like the middle class has been fading amidst a broad gap between minimum wage employees and millionaires, the future of employment in 2025-2030 will look drastically different from all we know.

After 7 amazing years, I recently left HubSpot 🧡 It wasn't an easy decision, but I am ready to embrace the next challenge and see what else is out there! If anyone has a Chief of Staff opportunity at a high-growth / fast-paced company, let me know! Would love to explore if it could be a mutual fit 🤝 _____________________________________________ When candidates used to ask me my favorite thing about HubSpot, my answer was always simple - the people. I am thankful to HubSpot for seeing me through huge periods of growth, both professionally and personally (hello 👋 husband, dog, house, and two children...). I affectionately call HubSpot my MBA program because the exposure to different parts of the business, smart leaders, and excellent teams, is unparalleled. I'm especially grateful for: - My teams 🌍 - working with you all has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. - My leaders 👏 - especially Emily Haahr, Michael Pici, Eric Richard, and Rich A., who fundamentally contributed to the leader I am today. - My work girl gang ✨ - you all gave me candid feedback, endless confidence and pep talks, and a listening ear (and gosh you made work fun!) 🚀
