Meet Beth, Marketing Project Manager

Meet Beth Lykins! Beth started with the Interim division when she first joined LeaderStat but has since moved to the Marketing team. She shares some of her thoughts about her current role in the interview below. Check it out!

1. How long have you been with LeaderStat?
I’ve been with LeaderStat for 4 years.

2. What is your position now and what are your primary responsibilities?
I am the Marketing Project Manager. I handle our National and State Association Memberships, planning and organizing our RAC-CT workshops and convention participation, and responding to website chats. I also oversee our client and candidate survey process, and contribute content to our website.

3. What does your typical day look like?
There is no such thing as a typical day in Marketing! Since we support each division of the company, our focus changes all the time and we get new projects and goals. As a Project Manager, I spend a lot of my time organizing, and developing and refining processes. I work to make sure everything runs smoothly and that our team stays on the same page.

4. What do you love most about your job?
I have always been creatively driven and was a Fine Arts major in college, but never really had the opportunity to work in a job that allowed me to use that creativity. I get to write blog articles and pillar pages for our website, and it gives me a real sense of accomplishment. I love seeing my work published. The first time Kendra asked me to create an image for something, was my, “If you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life”, moment!

5. What do you enjoy least?
I’m not really a fan of cold calling. It’s really gratifying when business comes out of that work though.

6. What is your favorite movie and why?
I love the movie, October Sky. It’s based on a true story of someone’s wildest dreams coming true out of really difficult obstacles, and it inspires me every time I watch it. I swear I don’t cry at the end…

7. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I spend my spare time with my two little boys who are 5 and 6. We’re always outside, and we love being with our family and friends. I also paint, draw, and dabble in photography.

Thank you, Beth, for being a wonderful addition to the Marketing team. We appreciate you!
