Rising Fast: Learning to Lead Early in Your Marketing Career with Addison Cursey
What does it really take to rise fast in your career — to step into leadership earlier than expected and do it with confidence, grace, and heart?
In this episode, Anastasiia sits down with Addison Cursey, Chief Marketing Officer at the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce, to talk about what it means to grow quickly in leadership and build influence without losing your authenticity.
Addison shares how she blended creativity and strategy to become a leader early in her career — and what she’s learned about dependability, trust, and showing up fully in every role. She opens up about navigating imposter syndrome, learning to delegate, and building credibility with a multigenerational team.
You’ll also hear Addison’s take on:
✔️ The difference between mentors and sponsors (and why you need both)
✔️ How to manage people who are older or more experienced than you
✔️ Why you should lead before you have the title
✔️ How storytelling can strengthen both your marketing and your leadership
✔️ The importance of rest rituals to prevent burnout
It’s an inspiring, down-to-earth conversation about rising fast, leading with confidence, and staying grounded along the way.

This episode is brought to you in partnership with two of my favorite tools for building and managing a marketing business:
✔️ Full Focus Planner — the only paper planner that’s ever helped me actually feel more in control of my time. Created by productivity expert Michael Hyatt, this planner is designed to help you set clear goals, stay focused on what matters most, and finally break free from the never-ending to-do list cycle.
✔️ Airtable — My go-to tool for organizing client projects, content calendars, and podcast production. If spreadsheets and Dropbox had a baby, it would be Airtable.
