Shellye Archambeau is a powerhouse and a visionary with a track record of accomplishments building brands, high-performance teams, and organizations.
Shellye currently serves on the boards of Verizon, Nordstrom, Roper Technologies, and Okta. She is the former CEO of Silicon Valley-based MetricStream and a nationally recognized author of the New York Times bestselling book, Unapologetically Ambitious.
Embarc Collective had the privilege of hosting Shellye for a virtual Fireside Chat, where she shared stories and strategies from her professional journey and being unapologetically ambitious in her pursuit of success.
We recapped our favorite key learnings from Shellye:
On setting goals: “Very few people make decisions every day consistent with their future goals, personally and professionally. I ask myself 3 questions to create my plan: 1. Why am I trying to achieve? 2. What has to be true for that to happen? 3. How do I make that true for me? And then execute on it!”
On being a startup founder: “Don’t fall in love with your product. DON’T! Fall in love with your market.”
On self-care: “If we don’t have to do a presentation, I do a ‘walk and talk’ and take my 1:1s walking. Why? I need exercise!”
On the doubters: “You can’t control how people treat you or what they say to you, but you can control how you respond. Don’t let them win.”
