Harsh truth: If you're not seen as a thought leader, you’re missing out on the influence, recognition, and opportunities you deserve. In 2025, this won’t be optional — it’ll be essential. Thought leadership isn’t a buzzword; it’s your ticket to real power, real promotions, and finally having a seat at the table where decisions are made. Here’s the deal: women need to be leading the conversations that affect us — corporate culture, pay equity, the future of work, and even topics we haven’t touched on in the mainstream yet. We can't just participate; we have to shape the narrative. When you position yourself as a thought leader, you’re not just gaining visibility — you’re becoming the go-to expert driving the direction of your company and industry. It’s time to stop being the best-kept secret and start being unignorable. Thought leadership is how you build a brand that aligns with your expertise, values, and vision. Once you do that? Promotions, leadership roles, and high-profile projects follow. Because the world notices when you lead from the front, not grind in the shadows. Women are still fighting to be heard, and we owe it to ourselves — and to every woman behind us — to step up and claim our place as leaders. The more of us who do, the more we change the game. So, are you ready to build a brand that gets you seen? Because 2025 is your year to take control. But it starts now, in 2024. Let’s make sure you’re not just part of the conversation — you’re leading it.

The grind looks familiar for a lot of women leaders. -Racing through tasks, no time to think deeply -Creating plans and visions on autopilot -Feeling drained, not energized, by responsibilities Why? Misalignment. It's like forcing a square peg into a round hole. You can make it fit, but at what cost? You desire: -Time to think, create, and innovate -Work that ignites passion, not exhaustion -Using expertise in ways that feel authentic and impactful This yearning for alignment isn't random. It's a call to something greater. But this dissatisfaction is actually an invitation...to greater. Imagine: -Leading with clarity and vision -Tackling challenges with enthusiasm -Feeling fulfilled, using your unique talents to their fullest This isn't just about job satisfaction. It's about stewardship. Stewardship of gifts, purpose, and potential. It starts with intention. And it's about creating space. This is what I help my clients do every day: -Uncover their unique leadership gifts -Align their careers with their deepest values -Create space for strategic thinking and innovation -Transform their leadership impact without sacrificing their authenticity. Together, we bridge the gap between where they are and where they're truly meant to lead. Because when you align your work with your purpose, you don't just change your career. You transform lives - starting with your own. Trust that you were created for more than just getting by. #AliciaEmpowering #womeninleadership

The days are flying by, but I’m still reflecting on a month ago when I had the privilege of participating on a panel with other accomplished women of color leaders hosted by Baddies in Tech. During the discussion, I noticed a powerful theme emerging: leading with curiosity—especially in the context of our panel topic, Leveled-Up Leadership: Influencing Authentically and Driving Change in the Workplace. As the days went on, I found myself reflecting more about it, which led me to write a blog post that I’m excited to share with you. As women of color in leadership, we constantly navigate complex dynamics—pushing for innovation while confronting deeply ingrained barriers. In my experience as a leader and coach, one of the most powerful tools we can use is curiosity. Leading with curioisty is an act of defiance against the structures that were never designed with us in mind, allowing us to redefine leadership on our own terms. Curiosity goes beyond leadership techniques. It’s a mindset that allows us to remain adaptable, question limiting narratives, and approach challenges with an open mind. Think about it—by fostering curiosity, we break down the walls of assumptions and biases that often shape leadership, especially in white-dominated spaces where women of color face unique hurdles.

🌟 Elevate Your Leadership & Growth with Like-Minded Women! 🌟 This week, I’m reflecting on my experience at the Women Rising Leadership Academy and how networking with other ambitious, growth-driven women is already transforming my mindset.

When I speak to women seeking leadership roles… I often hear these common themes: - They’re yearning for more impact, influence, and income. - They feel unsure about how to achieve the next level in their career. - They're ready to step up and command the role they deserve. Yet, they don't realize that defining & refining your leadership style significantly influence both your team's dynamics and your career progression. And as a result, they're not maximizing their potential in terms of influence or income. So, I’ve decided to: → Expose common barriers to leadership in tech. → Provide insights on 5 strategies to refine your leadership style and advance your career. → Share how I help aspiring female leaders to confidently step into positions of power. Details will be in my newsletter this Thursday at 6:00 AM ET. And my subscribers can access them directly from their inboxes. 💌 Subscribe here so that you don't miss out! https://lnkd.in/eyqf3884 #Leadership #WomenInTech #CareerGrowth #CareerCoach #CareerAdvice

🌟 What does it take to empower women to step into more leadership roles? Over a year ago, I had the privilege of being invited to bid on a Leadership Coaching contract for Women in Tech, aimed at enhancing their leadership skills. It all started when @BrendaIsabelRuvalcaba reached out to me. She told me a mutual friend and colleague from Mexico, Eduardo Anguiano, had shared my contact. Brenda had a vision and was searching for leadership coaches to bring it to life. From our very first conversation, it was clear: Brenda is a force to be reckoned with—a courageous promoter, a connector, and a powerful team leader. Together with a talented team of Women in Tech, she made this vision a reality, securing approval for an incredible project. 🙌 The Process: Meetings. Presentations. Aligning on the value, the promise, and why could they trust me to make this happen. Every step of the journey was worth it. Aligning with changemakers and leaders who share a vision is a joy and privilege I never take for granted. The process of building these partnerships isn’t always quick, but when the mission is this impactful, it’s deeply rewarding. 💡 What we need more of: Women like Brenda—leaders with bold visions who build communities inside and outside their companies. Leaders who empower others to trust themselves, do the work, and show up. This time, we’re focusing on empowering Women in IT—and it’s just the beginning. 💬Have you ever proposed a Women in Tech group at your company? Would you like to? Thank you Brenda! Let’s spark the conversation. I’d love to hear your thoughts. ✨ Gaby #LeadershipInTech #WomenInBusiness #WomenInTech #Management #Leadership
