But I wasn’t always such a and shaker.MOVER

Page 8: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

10 years ago, I was

in New York.

Living the dream.

Or so I thought.

Page 9: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

Until one day a true popped up.DREAM JOB

Page 10: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

The job was “Executive Assistant.”

The dream part had to do with the

executive I�d be assisting.

Page 11: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

Janice Mirikitani was the Founding

President and Executive Director of Glide.

She was a force of nature — an inspiring

leader and true mentor. She still is.

She and Glide�s Co-Founder, Cecil Williams,

have been on the front lines of the fight for

social justice for decades.

I�m honored to fight alongside them.

From day one, it was a fit.PERFECT

Page 15: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

The job demanded energy.

And I had ENERGY.

Page 20: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success
Page 21: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

The days turned

into years.

Page 22: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

And I was given more

and more responsibility to

MAKE THINGSHAPPEN.

Page 23: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

Things that I couldn�t do alone.

Page 24: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

I needed help. And so did Glide.

Page 25: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

The economy had shifted.

Page 26: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

Tough times made things

even tougher for the less

fortunate, so Glide

needed to extend its reach

and broaden its

SUPPORTERS.

Page 27: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

We needed more young people.

Page 28: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

More tech people.

Page 29: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

The landscape was changing and

Glide needed to ADAPT.

Page 30: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

This is where I

first started seeing the

of LinkedIn.TRUE VALUE

Page 31: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

To help me find the

right people.

Page 32: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

People who not only

had the skills, time, and

resources I needed.

Page 33: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

But who shared my passion for

GIVING BACK.

Page 34: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

So I started adding

connections.

Page 35: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

Expanding my NETWORK.

Page 36: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

And it paid off.

Last year we were

ramping up for our big

fundraising gala.

Page 37: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

Out of the blue,

we lost our

ticketing partner.

So I hit LinkedIn.

Page 38: Reach Out and Inspire | LinkedIn Celebrates Success

And quickly found

to a new resource

that could help on

short notice.

people think of LinkedIn

to get a new job.
