Join this Revel Coach Conversation with Alison Nissen and Marcy Stoudt, who interview Steliana Economu about her
experiences coaching executives, writing, and teaching future leaders while valuing yourself as a parent. Steliana discussed her book Mothers as Leaders, which emphasizes the importance of honest, humorous stories that women can
relate to. But it’s not just women who need to recognize their role in corporate America, but the need for companies to recognize the potential leadership and value of all parents with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Steliana van de Rijt-Economu is a Diversity & Inclusion leader and a seasoned leadership (team) coach (ICF PCC ) with 20 years of cross-regional and cross-industries experience with FTSE 500 companies (Shell, Vodafone, Nike).

She wrote her first book Mothers as Leaders while traveling the world as a corporate leadership development faculty, nursing a small baby and sharing the joys of a dual-career
marriage. She saw her personal situation as a Romanian—Dutch mother working in London, as an unique opportunity to study the impact of cultural expectations on women ‘s leadership ambitions after becoming mothers. She interviewed mother-leaders from 14 cultures, 4 continents and all walks of life and captured their life story. Due to her book contribution to the definition of feminine leadership, Steliana received the 2019 global corporate award from WIN (Women International Network conference) at the Athens Global conference.
