Game of Her Own


Sep 9, 2021

Have you ever thought about trying to get a job and thought to yourself, why would they want me? If you have, you're not alone. Stephanie Maneikis, Vice President of Fan Services & Entertainment, battled that limiting belief when she was going after her first job with the Red Sox. Luckily she didn’t let it stop her and has gone from a part-time Ambassador to an Executive. 

 

Listen in as we talk about: 

  • When she finally felt like she was bringing value to the organization
  • How she advocated for herself to go from hourly to salary
  • What advice she would give her younger self about approaching leading a team for the first time 
  • All the things that went wrong when she asked for a salary increase 
  • The best advice she got when it came to raising a family while working (I promise it will make you laugh)
