Connect the Dots Collective's Terry Wheatley talks her duty to give back, being open to opportunities, and her cowboy challenge...are you tough enough to wear pink?!

I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from executives of major brands at MediaPost's Insider Summits. In the process I've discovered some truly impressive women -- not only for the work they do, but their stories behind the scenes. With Brand Insider: BTS, I get to pull back the curtain on some of the most influential women marketers as they talk about their path to success: the twists and turns, obstacles, inspirations and the valuable lessons learned along the way.

“You're satisfied with the financial part of it, but if you're not tickled every morning when you get up at least half the time or excited about what you're working on, then rethink it.” Terry Wheatley is certainly excited about what she’s been working on, and she wants younger generations to be the same. The founder, managing partner at Connect the Dots Collective advises those just starting out to not just look for the next title or the next raise, but instead choose a career path that fulfills and makes you happy. In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, Terry goes on to counsel younger women to listen and learn from whomever is around you. She also talks about bringing her experience to the table, accomplishing her dreams, and her rodeo cowboy husband...a champion at that! You can watch the entire conversation here:
