We’ve all heard the proverb \u201cThe early bird catches the worm,”<\/em>\u00a0and the star of today\u2019s networking story has literally embodied those words like no other Hultian before. Ok, maybe not literally… But let me introduce you to Maria Cabello.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maria Cabello<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mar\u00eda<\/a> had a clear vision of what she wanted to accomplish while pursuing her Global One-Year MBA<\/a>\u00a0at Hult and she started her journey even before getting to Boston<\/a>. Born and raised in Lebrija, Spain, Mar\u00eda Cabello had a skyrocket career as a Communications and Digital Marketing Manager, working for a top-tier agency in her home country. Like many talented marketing professionals, Maria thrives on creativity and is naturally drawn towards the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Research and reach out<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cFrom day one I focused on networking. I started researching and contacting people via LinkedIn and leveraging contacts that I already had back at home. Then, one day while reading an online Spanish news site, I came across a video of a guy talking about creativity and how everyone is born with that skill, but some just need to dig a bit deeper,\u201d Mar\u00eda recalls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something within Mar\u00eda clicked and she was so inspired by this guy that she decided to research more about him and the techniques he was teaching. She soon found out that he used to be Disney\u2019s VP of Innovation and Creativity. Remember that time when NASA sent Buzz Lightyear into space? Well, that guy made that possible. Have you heard about Disney\u2019s theme park in Paris? Well, that guy also made that possible. Did you know that Mickey Mouse has a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame? He\u2019s also to blame for that, and his name is: Duncan Wardle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI assumed that he had an Instagram account, so I searched for his profile and followed him. Soon, I discovered that he was doing keynotes around the world. I DMed him asking if he was planning on going to New York or Boston. To my surprise, he wrote back. The bad news was that most of his keynotes were private events.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keep the conversation going<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By now you should have figured out that if you look for synonyms of determination in the thesaurus, you’re very likely to find Maria Cabello. She didn\u2019t give up and decided to write an email to Mr. Wardle inviting him to deliver a keynote at the legendary Fenway Bleachers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately there were a number of reasons that prevented the whole event happening.\u201d Maria recalls, \u201cHowever, when I called to tell him that the event couldn’t happen, he already knew about my real and honest interest in listening to him and learning from his experience. So, he invited me to attend one of his workshops. It was in Vancouver during the spring break! I didn’t have to think a lot about it. In one day, I was buying the tickets and a week later I was in Vancouver attending the amazing and very worth it workshop with Duncan Wardle.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make things happen<\/h3>\n

It is an undeniable truth that fortune favors the bold and people notice when you are genuinely interested in learning from them. Mar\u00eda\u2019s curiosity and willpower led her to a path she never imagined taking.\u00a0 \u201cIt was such an amazing experience that not only improved my professional skills and broadened my network, but also gave me the opportunity to visit a new country for the first time. Remember the proverb “If Mahoma cannot go to the mountain, let\u2019s bring the mountain to Mahoma.” Believe in yourself and make the most out of your MBA.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the second of a six-part series. Part 3, a visit to Boston’s Google Campus, will be published next week.<\/em><\/p>\n
