Check out Elisa’s thoughts on success & being a woman in business:
What does success mean to you?
To me, success means I am able to accomplish the personal, professional and financial goals I’ve set for myself, regardless of how small or big they are. It’s not about how much you’ve accomplished, but how the things you’ve achieved make you a stronger individual. Life is challenging and you need to be able to overcome the challenges you are faced with as you work towards higher- level leadership roles.
How does this fit in with being a woman in the business world?
When I think about my definition of success and how this fits in the business world, it’s simple: you need to show results. When you read the stories of the many successful women that are doing amazing work today, they say they got to where they are because they were able to show positive results their respective fields. You can be the smartest person in the world, but if you cannot show results, and help people grow along the way, you won’t go much further.
What does being a #womanofachievement mean to you?
Being a woman of achievement means I’ve been able to earn the respect and trust of those around me by being my true self. Often, women change their personalities so they can earn the respect and trust of those around them, regardless of the consequences it can have in their future careers. People accept and respect me for who I am, and that to me is an achievement in itself.
