This week’s episode I have the pleasure of speaking with one of my heroines, Maria Eitel. Maria is the  founding CEO and Chairman of the NIKE Foundation and the Girl Effect.

Maria is incredibly passionate about helping women and girls achieve their full potential. Her work with Girl Effect focuses on removing barriers and creating opportunities for adolescent girls, unleashing their potential and improving both their lives and that of their wider community. The work of Girl Effect has reached more than 23 million girls in poverty.

In this episode we learn how persistence has been the driving force throughout Maria’s career, from securing her first internship to her life mission of eradicating global poverty by empowering women and girls.

Ask: Commit, persist and take that first step. If you hit a wall, just keep going. In the face of failure, frustration and difficulty always be persistent.
