The Tenacity Co. Podcast – Season 2, Episode 3 - Career Growth, Confidence & Bold Pivots with Barbara Campbell

In this episode of The Tenacity Co., we dive into the story of someone who has personally changed the trajectory of my career, Barbara Campbell.

Barb is a global leader with 13+ years in tech, currently directing customer escalation leadership at a major SaaS company. She’s built high-impact programs, led global teams, and become a go-to mentor inside her organization.

But here’s the twist: while her day job is rooted in tech leadership, Barb’s true calling emerged through mentoring and coaching. Today, she’s also a career coach with Kadima Careers helping professionals land dream roles, build confidence, and make bold career transitions.

We talk about how she discovered coaching “accidentally,” why accountability matters more than anything, and how to show up confidently during interviews and career transitions.

Whether you’re pivoting into tech, looking to grow inside your current role, or trying to figure out what’s next this episode is full of real strategies, encouragement, and wisdom.

In this episode, you will learn about :

• Your true career path often reveals itself through action, not planning, as Barb discovered when informal mentoring organically became her professional calling.
• Accountability is the foundation of growth. Barb explains that the most successful clients follow through, take action, and treat coaching like a commitment.
• Career pivots don’t have to be linear. Barb moved from sports marketing into tech, proving your background doesn’t limit your future opportunities.
• Coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all Barb personalizes her approach based on each person’s needs, whether that’s LinkedIn, branding, interviewing, or confidence building.
• Your personal brand forms long before you job search, and the way you show up daily at work, in conversations, and in leadership moments shapes your opportunities.
