What would happen if you said yes to something that scared you at work and in life? That question changed everything for Marie Han Silloway, Executive Partner at Gartner, and this week’s guest on BOSS.
This week on BOSS, I sat down with Marie, a global marketing leader whose career has spanned Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Estée Lauder, Godiva, and Subway. Her story hits every note on courage, clarity, and growth.
Marie said yes to moving halfway across the world to China with a newborn. She said yes to leading through uncertainty and cultural complexity. And she said yes again when the world shifted toward Agentic AI and nonstop transformation.
🎯 Her biggest insight:
“Resilience isn’t perseverance. It’s adaptability. It’s testing, learning, and resetting without losing momentum.”
We talked about: 💡 How calm and clarity are the ultimate leadership superpowers 🤝 Why asking better questions beats having all the answers ⚡ The real ways CMOs and agencies are using Agentic AI to move faster, smarter, and more creatively 🚨 Why the risk of doing nothing with AI is now higher than ever
If you’ve ever hesitated to take a leap or wondered how to keep your edge when the rules keep changing, this one’s for you.
🎙️ Watch the full episode of BOSS x Marie Han Silloway below 👇 Then tell me in the comments: What’s one thing you’ve said “yes” to that scared you and changed everything?
