"If you really want to go after your goals and your dreams, it does involve taking some risks. Sometimes letting go is the hardest part, yet it opens all sort of doors.”
--Carmen Nava (retired), Senior Vice President, AT&T
Every other Tuesday, WOMEN AT LIBERTY provides #LeadershipTuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage and strengthen women leaders. Today's quote comes from Carmen Nava in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Ms. Nava had more than 30 years of experience in operations, marketing, external affairs, human resources, customer service and sales. She retired from AT&T inn 2017 and now is Chair of University of Southern California’s, her alma mater, Marshall School of Business.
This L.A. native took risks to get to where she is now and through her quote above she encourages leaders to do the same. She says that she left a wonderful community, home, and schools in L.A. to get the experience she needed to have the career she wanted. She resides in Dallas, Texas, with her husband, Robert. They have one daughter.
Her story encourages us to take risks and not be afraid to leave the familiar in order to get the experience we need to obtain senior leadership positions.
