Get Vote For You: Take Your Seat at the Table

From suburban Los Angeles to the glittering tech offices of Austin, San Francisco, and London, Marnie searched for ways to rise up the ranks of corporate America to the C-suite. Marnie shows how you can take your seat at the table. After climbing her way up the wobbly ladder and navigating a layoff and a pandemic world, everything she thought she knew turned upside down. But, she discovered there is a clear path forward.

In the Vote for You: Take Your Seat at the Table guide, Marnie turns an unflinching lens on the barriers to entry in corporate America for women at all levels, whether just starting out in their careers or looking to make their next career leap. She uses her own experiences as a woman and Asian American to address ways to create a holistic plan for managing a career search, progress, and passions. It’s a true account of how to invest in yourself by identifying your Top Ten Non-Negotiables in work and life, building a campaign to promote your goals, and staying connected with a trusted set of advisors to guide you to your own charted destination.

Through honest self-examination and help from colleagues, friends, coaches, and guides, Marnie demonstrates how to find your voice, become a leader, and take your seat at the table of your choice.

The Vote for You Worksheet

I wrote Vote for You: Take Your Seat at the Table because I didn’t have a roadmap for my work and life. In 2020 I was alone, isolated, and lost. I worked non-stop getting promotions, navigated motherhood and a divorce, and lay off and all along I felt disconnected. I didn’t dare to dream about a better and more fulfilling life.

But during COVID I paused and took an inventory of where I was and wrote in high fidelity what I wanted my work and life to become with my Top Ten Non-Negotiables List. I coupled this with a a squad of friends, coaches, and advisors who kept me accountable and suddenly things began to change. I designed a life that I only talked and dreamed about and it came true. It can come true for you. Start now.
