Anne Marbarger is the Executive Director of Padres Pedal the Cause San Diego, an organization committed to accelerating cures for cancer by funding collaborative cancer research in San Diego.  Anne talks about her non-linear path to leading a hugely successful sports adjacent non-profit. Prior to joining Pedal the Cause, Anne worked in management consulting for four years in Washington, DC, within Deloitte Consulting’s federal human capital practice.  She also served as an intelligence analyst at the United States Treasury Department for four years where she focused on a major Middle East terrorist organization’s illicit funding sources and use of the US financial system. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Government from Dartmouth College and an MBA from George Washington University. Listen closely as Anne outlines exactly how to earn a raise and juggle a demanding job with young children. This is an interview you won't want to miss! Keep in touch. Keep in contact with the people who know you and have the opportunity to open doors for you. Reach out when you DON’T need anything. Create the opportunity and make the decision to leave the known for the unknown. It’s worth it to pursue your passions. The biggest hurdle is often times yourself. Confidence, clarity, and conviction will give you the courage to ask for what you deserve. When pursuing a raise do the research, outline a proposal, push to make the ask and go for it! Instead of comparing yourself to others, compare yourself to yourself. How far have you personally come? How have you personally grown. Instead of looking externally, look inward. Check out www.gopedal.org or contact Anne directly at amarbarger@gmail.com, LinkedIn, or Facebook to get in touch and keep the conversation going!
