What were your initial years of growing up like? Tell us about your life before starting your corporate journey/venture/initiative.
Growing up in Sao Paulo, Brazil, I was surrounded by warmth – both from the tropical weather and the friendly people. From a very young age, I learned to cherish these connections and always dreamed of exploring the world. These early passions sparked a lifelong curiosity and appreciation for cross-cultural experiences in me, values that continue to shape who I am today.
Every industry that is now a large-scale, top-notch business once started as a small idea in the minds of entrepreneurs. What was that idea or motivation that made you start your business /initiative? What motivated you within to say YES, go for it!”
My journey into communication coaching wasn’t just a career choice – it was a calling. I’ve always been captivated by the transformative power of effective communication. Throughout my corporate career, I witnessed how the right words, delivered with authenticity, could open doors, build bridges, and catalyze change. This realization, combined with my experiences navigating diverse cultures and industries, ignited a desire to share my knowledge and facilitate personal and professional growth through the art of communication. Saying YES to this path was about embracing the perfect alignment of my passions, skills, and the impact I want to make in the world.
Would you like to share with our young budding women entrepreneurs the change you would like to see in the world if given an opportunity?
I dream of a world where every voice is heard and valued, regardless of gender or background. A world where effective communication isn’t just a skill, but a fundamental right that empowers individuals to share their ideas, challenge the status quo, and drive positive change. To the young women entrepreneurs reading this: imagine a reality where your innovative ideas are met with enthusiasm, where your leadership is celebrated, and where your unique perspective shapes the future. This isn’t just a dream – it’s a vision we can build together, one conversation at a time.
Women are a growing force in the workplaces worldwide, standing shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts. There are cracks in glass ceilings everywhere, with many women breaking through to carve out a space right at the top of the pyramid. What are your thoughts about women leadership today?
It’s truly inspiring to see women breaking barriers and rising to leadership positions across the globe! As a true advocate for women in leadership, I witness this closely in my workshops and training. We’re proving our worth every day!
However, our journey is far from over. We still struggle with unconscious biases, work-life balance challenges, and systemic barriers. But I’m optimistic. Why? Because I see the power of women supporting women every day. When we mentor each other, share our stories, and celebrate our successes, we create an unstoppable force for change.
To me, the future of women’s leadership is about more than just numbers in boardrooms. It’s about bringing diverse perspectives, empathy, and collaborative approaches to solve global challenges. It’s about redefining leadership itself, making it more inclusive and impactful, regardless of gender.
What’s the most important thing you have learned in your personal life and professional journey? What is your personal motto in life?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is that we all have the power to transcend our limits and make a positive impact on the world. I’ve discovered that growth is not a destination, but a journey. It’s about taking those first small steps, embracing continuous learning, and trusting your instincts. I feel a wild enthusiasm witnessing others succeed, especially knowing I played a part in their growth, and that motivates me every single day. Remember, we each have unique gifts to offer the world. By nurturing these gifts and believing in our potential, we can all achieve remarkable things.
With your grit and determination, you are making a considerable impact, breaking through, and serving as role models for many budding entrepreneurs. What would you want to say to our young women leaders/audience reading this?
To all the young women leaders reading this, I want to say: Your dreams are valid, your voices matter, and your potential is limitless. Embrace your passion, cultivate your skills, and never underestimate the power of your unique perspective.
Remember, the path to success is rarely linear. There will be challenges and setbacks, but don’t let them stop you. Stay curious, keep learning, and never stop believing in yourself.
Seek out mentors, build a supportive network, and celebrate the achievements of other women. Together, we can create a world where every woman feels empowered to lead, innovate, and make a meaningful impact.
And never forget the transformative power of communication. Find your voice, share your story, and use your words to inspire, connect, and create positive change. The world is waiting to hear what you have to say!
