Some quick background of Teresa:
- With a family from Colombia, Teresa interviews each top leader with a cup of coffee in hand. Because that cup of coffee is how her family breaks bread and shares time together.
- As the Chief Officer of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Home Services of America, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate Teresa represents 75,000 agents and 64 employees across the country.
- She loves her role and her opportunity to engage with female leaders. It’s by seeing women in powerful positions that encourages other women to follow suit.
One of Teresa’s greatest inspiration? Wonder Woman.
- As a young girl, Teresa’s mother suffered from a heart condition that ultimately led to her death.
- While in the hospital with her, Teresa picked up a magazine with Linda Carter on the cover. Carter, who starred as Wonder Woman, was a Latina like her.
- Reading about her and the obstacles she overcame inspired her to help Teresa through tough times.
When women support each other, incredible things happen.
- Teresa wants to inspire women to pursue opportunities and leadership positions, whether inside or outside the real estate industry.
- Beginning Feb. 16th, episodes of Women Who Lead will air twice each month.
Remember, always bring women up the ladder with you as you climb to the top. For more great content from Teresa, connect with her on LinkedIn, join her Women Who Lead Series on Facebook and subscribe to her YouTube channel.
