Sober since she was 24 years old, my guest Marin Nelson, chose the road of recovery 15 years ago. Marin has created an awesome life for herself which has impacted many others. She, along with 3 other sober leaders at SalesForce created an affinity group at work called SoberForce which now has almost 300 members! This is a huge breakthrough to eliminate the stigma of alcoholism and is a fantastic model for others organizations to follow suit.
Marin is a wonderful example of how recovery can add so much to your career and provide so much wisdom when and if you choose to step into Leadership. Her career path has been a steady climb up the ladder in sales and then into a leadership role in Salesforce where the culture and the values are in alignment with who she is. She started as an individual contributor and has since accepted a position as the Regional Vice President. She leans heavily on the work she has done in recovery which translates well in leadership skills. Skills such as empathy, authenticity, listening, core values, and providing service to others which have built deep trust within her team.
You can find Marin Nelson on LinkedIn here. Please contact Marin if you’d like to create a Sober Affinity group at YOUR company. She can help you.
