There is nothing coincidential about getting promoted.
One must invest in herself and be intentional about professional growth.

This is my Story
I am a first-gen Latina and daughter of hardworking immigrants who taught me the value of hard work and respect.Ā
I grew up with limited resources. Just enough for the basics, but not much for anything else.Ā
Growing up, I was navigating a new world to me, to my parents, and those around me. We are all trying to figure things out.Ā
The guidance I did receive was to study hard and work hard so that I could get a good job.
I did just that. I graduated from UCLA and then, I got a job.
Slowly, I began to realize I was missingĀ something. I wasn't sure what. All I knew was that I was struggling to advance in my career.Ā
I felt deep shame for what I believed were things I should have known how to do. I felt lost in a new world of professionalism, and I wanted to be promoted but didn't know how to go about it.Ā
As I started my career,Ā I felt that I was not smart enough, that I didn't belong, and that others were better than me. I didn't have the confidence to speak upĀ because I didn't think others cared what I had to say.Ā
16 years ago, I became very intentional about advancing my career. IĀ realizedĀ I needed to invest in myself and learn the success formula to advance in my career, earn respect, and for others to listen to my ideas andĀ meĀ as a person.
Since then, my career has bloomed. I have promoted 6X and multiplied my salary 7X.Ā
I am passionate about helping women grow professionally, advance in their career so that they can earn the title, respect, money they deserve.Ā
I am looking forward to joining you on your professional growth journey and sharing with you how I have grown through my career.Ā
Here for your journey,Ā
Rosa
