"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.”
