For years, in every performance review, Melanie Silva was told she was “too excited”. Too passionate. Not serious enough. Then she joined Google and, suddenly, that enthusiasm was exactly what was wanted.

This is a conversation about pivoting sideways and, even, backward. Because sometimes the best way up is not straight ahead. See omnystudio.com/listener...
