"Jefa" means boss in Spanish and today, we chat with Viviana Maldonado, creator of The Jefa Life, a platform that encourages Latinas to be the boss of their careers and lives. Viviana recalls the big bold move she made when she left her Nebraska home to go to college, leaving her family behind. She then moved to Los Angeles by herself and built relationships to get ahead. Viviana tells us how knowing your strengths (hers are connecting with others, choosing to be positive and taking action) can help you overcome adversity and make big bold moves in your career—even when you're fearful.“Titles come and go, but a jefa mindset stays forever,” says Viviana. “It’s living a life where you’re leading change and you’re leading by example.”Theme: Turn Your Adversity into Your StrengthEpisode Highlights:Making big bold movesPutting yourself firstConnecting with others and building relationships to get aheadTaking action when you're fearfulChoosing to be positive despite having experienced diversityReframing a situationMaximizing your strengthsRooting for ourselvesMore from Viviana Maldonado: TiKTok and The Jefa Life Learn more about the CliftonStrengths AssessmentTake the HIGH5 Strengths TestConnect with us on our social media: Instagram and LinkedInJoin our LinkedIn community where we discuss rule-breaking strategies for multicultural women.More from Alisa Manjarrez: Instagram and LinkedInMore from Courtney Copelin: Instagram and LinkedInMore from Dr. Merary Simeon: Instagram and LinkedInLearn more at www.whatrulespodcast.com.
