"Are you planning to get married in the next two years?" was the question that a hiring manager asked Maricella Herrera on a job interview in finance in 2012. That moment would change her professional journey forever, rerouting her from her finance path to empowering a women+ community. Today, as CEO of the Ellevate Network, with over 200,000 women+ members globally, she is helping to create a culture of equity and inclusion in business. As someone who has been with her company for over ten years and was promoted from within to CEO, Maricella is exploring the challenges and exciting opportunities to step up from her previous organizational role as COO to one of strategy and vision. In this episode, we discuss Maricella's journey from war-torn El Salvador and her upbringing of resilience. We discuss how her side hustle of helping Janet Hanson, founder of the former 85 Broads, became Ellevate and how Maricella joined her efforts once she withdrew her application. Maricella recalls that was the tipping point, not just a decision based on one interview. She wanted to stay in New York, and she wanted to change the world. As an outspoken Latina who readily shares her voice, Maricella expresses the importance of finding your allies and how you will be louder if you have people around you who can support you, even if you can't be loud yourself. We compare the difference between being a "generalist" versus niching down in your skills and how to think bigger, especially when you've been promoted within the same company. Maricella dispels the myth that only hard work gets you to the next level and that talking about your accomplishments and ensuring people know your value is the answer to getting ahead.

Let's talk about the power of networks within our global communities. Maricella Herrera Avila, CEO of the Ellevate Network is creating new leadership in a global community of professional women+. Maricella is the first Latina to be the CEO of this global organization and she brings with her the financial tenacity and leadership to build strength in numbers for a new diverse community. We open with her journey from El Salvador to Mexico, where she worked in corporate real estate banking, and worked on providing credit funding for low income housing development projects in the north of Mexico. As we discuss her leadership journey, we both acknowledge how the pandemic and the recent overturning of the Roe vs. Wade has provided enormous set backs for Latinas in the job market, and that leadership, particularly middle management or managers are where the most impact for real change can happen.

He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life.Kristy WallaceKristy Wallace is the former CEO of Ellevate Network, where she was responsible for executing Ellevate Network's mission to close the gender achievement gap in business by providing professional women with a global community to lean on and learn from.

When we're born, one of the first things we're ever taught is that we are either male or female-- and they come with their own set of gender rules and roles; very outdated ones. My guest today, Dr. Kim S. Clay, is founder of a non-profit organization that is determined to break through stigmas and even the playing field for young women growing up enjoying sports and STEM. In this podcast, we talk about her transition to building and growing Play Like a Girl full time, and the outdated terms we use that could very much be holding girls and young women back, by insinuating that femininity is negative -- I know I called myself a tomboy back then, but only now did I really understand it's potentially bad effects. Be sure to stick around and listen in on her advice for our young women!   Episode Highlights: Dr. Kim's childhood and role of spirituality Her NGO, Play Like a Girl, how it came about and her inspiration The mentoring program and having representation Dr. Kim's transition to working on Play Like a Girl fulltime Why the term tomboy can be detrimental to young girls How Dr. Kim reacted to being told she'd be limited due to race and gender Her advice for young women and girls who want to pursue male-dominated careers   About the Guest: Dr. Kimberly S. Clay is the founder and CEO of Play Like a Girl, her Nashville based non-profit organization dedicated to leveling the playing field for young girls in male-dominated careers like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. With a reach of 25,000 young women across the world, Play Like a Girl is definitely making their progress felt. As a graduate of Xavier University in Louisiana, the University of Alabama, and also the Tulane University School of Public Health and Social Work, she started her career at the CDC as a public health analyst. It was her experience early in her career that she noticed the gaping gender gap. From her work in public health, she has received numerous recognitions such as being one of Xavier University's 40 Under 40, Nashville Business Journal's 50 People on the Move. As she moved forward in her career, she returned to the classroom where she taught and researched about long-term cancer survivorship in women. Currently, she serves on the leadership team for the Nashville Chapter of Ellevate Network, an international community of professional women committed to helping fellow women progress in their careers.   Connect with Dr. Kim: Dr. Kimberly S.

Our very own, Sallie Krawcheck, Chair of Ellevate Network, joins us this week as we kick off our countdown to Mobilize Women 2019. On this episode, Sallie shares her favorite Mobilize Women memories, the importance of attending women's conferences for all women in the workplace, and her own takeaways from conferences over the years - whether it is networking, hearing diverse voices, or finding investors. She also focuses on the importance of including allies in the conversation, and how Mobilize Women is preparing all of us to take action and step up for what's right. Join Sallie, Kristy, and the rest of team Ellevate at Mobilize Women on June 21st!
