In this episode, Karla & Natalie speak with MBA student and former data analytics colleague, Stephani Calderón, about her journey and how she’s been breaking barriers in her education and career. The ladies discuss:
- Challenges and opportunities of being a woman in the workplace
- The benefits of having a community to support you and push you to ‘think bigger’
- Coming from an immigrant family
- Shifting from a career in consulting to attending an MBA program
Key Takeaways:
- Question your dreams to see if you can ‘think bigger’
- Build your ‘board of directors’, a community of people to push you outside your comfort zone and demonstrate what’s possible
- Find a mentor or someone to shadow in your career, someone who is doing the things that you would like to be doing
- Seek out opportunities to mentor others and raise up other women
- Think about addressing the gender and demographic gaps when building teams
