12# Get on Board - how to broaden your job perspectives with Mariel von Schumann

Women on the Board - an interview with Mariel von
Schumann on being a board member while juggling a full-time
job and parenthood. 



Mariel von Schumann was a full-time executive at Siemens and a
working mother when she decided to take on an additional role as
a board member - first within Siemens, and then outside the
company. 


Crazy as that sounds, it’s something that she would actually
recommend to all of us: “At some point in your career you have
enough experience to be able to add value to other companies,”
she says in today’s podcast, adding that that experience becomes
an important value-add for yourself and even the company you
already work for, too, “because in any negotiation, it always
helps to understand where your counterpart is coming from.”


With a career spanning 20 years and the courage to make decisions
that sometimes went against the grain, she has plenty of other
advice for us too - from how to get those board positions, to how
and when to take our parental leave, to managing our finances (to
pick up from where last week’s podcast left off!)
