A WOW that I Heard



I had the privilege of attending an inspiring event in San Jose. My client was being honored by Silicon Valley’s Watermark Association as being a “woman who makes a difference.” Her protégé, Fernanda, gave a story as to how Maya, Global Executive VP, had made a difference in her development.
Fernanda tells the story that she had not applied for her manager’s job when he left the company.  When Maya asked Fernanda, “Why are you not applying for the position?” Fernanda’s reply was that she did not believe she was qualified for the role.
Maya’s next question – are you ready, this is profound – “How do you know if you never had the job?” Maya’s next statement was priceless, but you’ll have to email me at ellen@ellencastro.com to get it.

The message, STOP limiting yourself! Go for it!
