ShareWomen’s History Month Employee Spotlight: Greta Matiash
- Name: Greta Matiash (soon to be Cohen in 24 days!!)
- Title: SVP, Lead Generation & Partnerships
- Years at KK: Next month will be 3.5 years
- Obstacles you’ve overcome as a woman in a male-dominated profession: I wouldn’t say it’s an obstacle, but something I have had to learn was having to shout louder in order to be heard. By shout, I don’t mean raising my voice- that gets people nowhere real fast… I’ve learned to use data, proof points, and a rational, calm demeanor to get my point across.
- What does Women’s History Month mean to you?: Every month should be about Women’s History and appreciation month! However, I do enjoy seeing how strong women were back then and how far we’ve progressed.
- Favorite Quote or Mantra: Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday -Dale Carnegie. Stop stressing about what will happen tomorrow and live in today.
- Name a woman that inspires you and why: Outside of my mother, I grew really fond of and am inspired by the nonverbal body language communications expert, Linda Clemons. I’ve attended a few seminars and she captives a room like none other. She helps people become better leaders and has a trained eye for spotting red flags, strengths, and weaknesses. Although my role for many years has required it, I was never truly comfortable with public speaking and Linda Clemons has helped me overcome challenges.
