Growing up in Switzerland, Rebecca always heard the other kids in school talking about her behind her back. One day, her mother told her, “You know I guess it can be kind of annoying, but at least if people are talking about you that means they noticed you.” Rebecca chose to let the gossip drive her instead of hindering her. She learned that she couldn’t control what others say, but she could control her own persona and confidence.
This led her to accomplish one of her oldest dreams: attending school in the United States at Vassar College in New York. Since then, she has enjoyed many more accomplishments: Making partner in just two years at a software company, starting up and running the US branch of the business, and eventually leaving the company to start her own consulting business. Rebecca has always loved to take wonderful ideas and make them actionable. Now, here to give each of us actionable steps for referrals, please help me welcome Rebecca Brizi.
