Wish to learn techniques that can work wonders for your professional life and your personal life? Today's episode will teach you how you can apply personal agility to unlock your passion and creativity.\nIn today\u2019s show, we interview Maria Matarelli, CEO of Formula Ink and co-founder of the Agile Marketing Academy and Personal Agility Institute, where she reveals how her agile management strategies can catapult you miles ahead of the competition both in your business and personal life. Always a hard charger, Maria started working at 15 and paid her way through college. When she entered professional life, she decided to pursue agile project management \u2013 which was then an unknown field with very few experts.\nMaria progressed quickly through the corporate ranks, and as a 22-year-old, she was managing a 120-person team and saving her employer $1.5 million every year through her project management expertise.\xa0\nSo, when she was handed out a measly 5% increment, Maria decided to push back against the system, and ultimately, she managed to wrangle out a 100% salary increase.\nThis win proved to be the turning point for Maria as she realized that if she worked hard enough and made herself indispensable, she could bend the rules.\xa0\nAfter some more agile project management stints, Maria decided to branch out by kickstarting her own consultancy. While this was a brave and farsighted decision, the first year-and-a-half certainly tested Maria\u2019s mettle. Maria went all out to realize her vision, from running through her entire bank balance to buying one-way tickets to Thailand and India.\nAgile techniques, Maria reveals, can help you improve not only on a professional level but also personally. So, if you are routinely bouncing off things, lack consistency and follow-through, then listening to Maria will surely help you out.\xa0\nEnjoy!\nQuestions That I Ask In This Show\nHow do you transition from the insurance industry to agile management consultancy?\nCan you recall your AH-HA moment?\nHow did you overcome your fears and doubts when you were starting?\nWhat do you do to stay on top of the market?\nDo you recall your first big success?
