A "New Title" post on LinkedIn may look effortless — but there’s always more to it.

A quick update, a flood of "Congratulations!" in the comments, and suddenly someone is a Sales Manager. But a title change only tells about 1% of the actual career story. It ignores the journey… the shifts in mindset and self-awareness required when you move from being a top individual performer to a leader.

For John Murphy, stepping into the role of Sales Manager at Braze meant deliberately seeking opportunities and experiences that would challenge him. 

When you're an individual contributor, success is yours to own. When you’re a manager, success means unlocking it in others. 

In our latest feature, John pulls back the curtain on what it can actually look like to scale your career at Braze. He breaks down:

🧠 How shifting your mindset from individual wins to your team's growth is the biggest adjustment in moving to leadership
🛠️How Braze's Manager Essentials program and Leadership Competency Model gave him the tools to lead with confidence from day one 
🤝Why building the right relationships internally is just as important as any skill you can learn

Whether you’re a sales professional considering your next step or a Braze user looking to level up your career, John's reflections are worth a read.
