Two Invitations. One Mission. I'm honored to share that I've been invited, for the second time, to serve as a panelist at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce National Conference 2026. Being invited once is a privilege. Being invited back is a reminder that leadership is not built by titles. It's built through service, consistency, and the impact we have on others. One lesson I've learned throughout my career: Opportunities rarely come to those who are waiting. They come to those who are preparing. This opportunity is about much more than a speaking engagement. It's about helping entrepreneurs grow, creating opportunities for others, and investing in the next generation of leaders. One of my favorite leadership principles is simple: Leadership is not about how many people follow you. It's about how many leaders you help develop. I'm grateful for the mentors, colleagues, clients, and leaders who have invested in me along the way, and I'm excited to continue serving, learning, and contributing at this year's conference. If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or professional who wants to make an impact while building a meaningful career, I'd love to connect. #USHCC2026 #Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #HispanicBusiness #Entrepreneurship #CareerGrowth #WomenInLeadership Disclosures: thrivent.com/social

The "Pain Cave" isn't a place I've only heard about. I've lived there. At the Thrivent Women Conference, Olympic Champion Jessie Diggins shared her philosophy about the Pain Cave; the place where everything in you wants to quit, but growth is still asking you to take one more step. As I listened, I couldn't help but reflect on my own journey. Leaving Ecuador and building a life in a new country. Walking through the pain of divorce. Starting and rebuilding businesses in different industries. Beginning over when it would have been easier to stay where I was. None of those seasons were comfortable. None came with guarantees. But every one of them developed resilience, strengthened my faith, and prepared me for the opportunity to serve others in ways I could never have imagined. I've learned that growth rarely happens in our comfort zone. It happens when we decide to give everything we have, even when the outcome is uncertain. As leaders, we face a similar choice every day: Do we choose comfort, or do we choose growth? The people who make the greatest impact are often the ones willing to embrace challenges with faith, courage, and purpose. Looking back, what felt like my deepest valleys became some of God's greatest training grounds. Maybe the challenge you're facing today isn't holding you back. Maybe it's preparing you for your next calling. Where is your Pain Cave leading you? #Leadership #GrowthMindset #FaithAtWork #ThriventWomenConference #WomenInLeadership #PersonalGrowth #PurposeDriven #LeadershipDevelopment #GiveEverythingYouHave Disclosures: thrivent.com/social
