“Deciding to become a leader is a challenge that will affect your whole life. It’s not just your job; becoming a leader affects your role as a mother, a spouse or partner, and your position in the family. It’s a daily challenge that you need to accept to become a better person and better leader. Like the decision you make to be a mother, the decision to take on leadership affects everything.

“There were a lot of people who inspired me, including my mother and father. In different phases of my life, I have gotten inspiration and advice from different people We have worked together for almost 20 years. In the beginning of my career, whenever we had a very challenging project, I didn’t know if I was the right person for the job. He helped me see that I could be the right person and supported me to build a successful team. He always talked about how I needed to connect the best people for the right moment.

“Later, when I became a leader myself, he inspired me as a leader coach, asking questions and showing me different points of view.

“The first lesson I learned is that, as a woman, you don’t need to be afraid of being a leader. And you should not expect people to treat you differently, simply because you are a woman. As a woman, you are no different than any leader, male or female. We may have specific attributes that are inherent in us as women, and that can help us lead in a better, more effective way in certain situations. We are more organized, flexible, and can make adjustments more easily than men. That is a great benefit for any leader.

“I also learned that you do not have to avoid having a family to be an executive leader. A lot of younger women think that if they want to become an executive, they cannot have a family. I try to explain that you can do both things. You don’t need to separate these roles—leader and mother. Instead, you need to integrate them, and you will become a better leader. There are always ways you can do both things in your life.”
