From Venezuelan Roots to American Dreams
How did a melody-loving pharmacist from Venezuela conquer the strategic boardrooms of America?
I’m Nayli Russo, and my journey from the vibrant songs of the Miranda Symphony to the realms of entrepreneurship and corporate leadership in the U.S. is a testament to the power of dreams, determination, and the will to empower change in your life.
My move to the U.S. brought more than career hurdles; it became a battle against my own doubts and fears. However, I discovered that the biggest challenges indeed bring the greatest rewards. I transformed from feeling stuck and helpless to embracing leadership roles and launching my own business.

Erin Kust
Strategy Consulting Manager
“Being a mentee of Nayli Russo has been pivotal to my development both as a strategy leader and as an overall human being. From salary negotiations to daily habits, she has given me tactical advice and the confidence to take action toward my goals. She challenges me to step outside of my comfort zone, and as a result I have achieved things I wouldn’t have had the confidence to try previously. With Nayli’s mentorship over the last few years, I have gotten two promotions, a new role with a new company, and have unapologetically pursued additional passion projects. I am a better leader because of her guidance, and I couldn’t be more excited about my trajectory!”
Janetta Bekman, PharmD, MBA
Medical Outcomes & Science Liasion
“Nayli is energizing, thoughtful, and incredibly smart. Her confidence is contagious. At the start of my career, I feel fortunate to have worked at the same company as her. While she was in a senior leadership position, she took time out of her busy day to meet with me. Beyond providing the most incredible advice, she truly listed to my career goals and hardships. She provided educational materials and told me to never underestimate my leadership potential. Nayli changed my life. After having my first child, there were assumptions that I wanted to work less and have projects taken off my plate. Nayli noticed the spark in my eyes and said that I am now more motivated than ever before. With Nayli’s guidance, I started an MBA program and a new job at a pharmaceutical company at 8 months pregnant with my second child. Nayli continues to serve as my mentor, where she continues to change my life and others.”
Yazmin Peña
Document Manager, Office of International Education, Carnegie Mellon University
"The program not only sparked a significant shift in my professional mindset but also provided practical strategies to pursue my goals more assertively. I wholeheartedly recommend this program, especially to anyone feeling stuck or unsure about their professional trajectory. Nayli's encouragement, particularly as a professional Latina supporting other Latinas, was incredibly motivating. Thank you, Nayli, for a truly enlightening and inspiring program that has empowered me to embrace my potential fully!"

Your Influence Expands
You've discovered the potential within you and now wonder... what's the next move?
Simply knowing your worth isn't enough. It's time to embody and actualize it in every facet of your life
Step 1: Courageously Clarify Your Purpose
At the foundation of our journey is the power of belief. Every action stems from what we believe about ourselves, our capabilities, and the world around us. In this step, we dive deep into our mindset, uncovering and addressing limiting beliefs that might be veiling our true potential. By courageously clarifying our purpose, we set a clear direction that is informed and guided by a genuine understanding of our core beliefs and aspirations.
Step 2: Confidently Position Yourself
Boundaries form the structure of our professional lives. They dictate how we allocate our time, energy, and resources. This step is all about establishing a robust boundary system—learning to confidently say 'no' to things that don't align with our vision and 'yes' to opportunities that resonate with our strengths. By understanding and embracing our natural talents, we position ourselves authentically in the workplace, ensuring that our impact is both genuine and significant.
Step 3: Develop and Commit to Your Plan
While a clarified purpose and confident positioning lay the groundwork, action is propelled by strategic planning. A powerful mindset without a concrete plan remains just an intention. In this step, we delve into designing a roadmap tailored to your aspirations. Recognizing where you currently stand, identifying the skills and knowledge you need to acquire, and understanding the precise actions required to bridge the gap between now and your desired future are key components. Competence is vital for success, so we'll pinpoint the exact competencies that will bolster your next career move or maximize your impact.
Step 4: Continuously Improve Your Performance
Execution is where dreams meet reality. This step is centered around consistent action, but not just any action—reflective, evaluative action that evolves as you progress. We will delve into identifying habits that may be impeding your performance and highlight those that can propel you forward. The goal is not just to act but to act effectively. And in doing so, it's crucial to maintain a balance that ensures longevity in your career. Burnout is the antithesis of sustainable performance. Thus, this step also emphasizes crafting harmony in your professional life, ensuring you always operate at your pinnacle without burning out.
