Wonder what the CEO life is like?

Angela Cretu, former CEO of AVON, shares her journey.

From a small town in Romania to global force, Angela's 25-year career journey champions impact and relevance in a shifting business landscape.

What drives her? Diversity. Growth. Vision.

And two under appreciated tools - curiosity and humility.

We unpacked so much about purpose led leadership:

💡 how humility sparks self confidence

💡 how the role of a leader is to serve

💡 how an organization's value have to be aligned with people values

💡 how to balance work and personal fulfillment

💡 how should a successful career look like

I took so much from this conversation, but the biggest takeaway has been this:

"Nothing from yesterday's experience can grant your success today".

I hope you enjoy listening! I'd be so grateful if you could rate the podcast five stars.

"You can't have it all".

Raise your hand if you're a working woman, mother, leader and heard this phrase at least a million times in your career.

Our guests on this episode of The Unmtchd. Podcast are Laura Miranda and Ariana Rae Diverio, two strong, creative, successful professionals who happen to also be women and mothers.

Laura and Ariana have co-founded B. Partners, a first-of-its-kind, female-founded and operated, revenue strategy agency focused on sport and entertainment, making it their mission to redefine what success means for women in business.

What you'll get in this episode:

⚡ three working mums chatting about business, motherhood and life

⚡ the idea that YOU get to define what "it all" means for YOU

⚡ the choices Laura and Ariana intentionally made to keep family and personal values at the forefront of their business

⚡ unlocking "more" through the power of brand

⚡ looking at things differently and seeing white spaces where others don't

... all this sprinkled with two potty training ballerinas, a baby on the way and stickers hidden on my wall!

All the biz ladies - I think you will enjoy this one 😉
