“Through failure, you realize what other strengths you have.”
In theory, we all know that we should look beyond official credentials and what’s on paper and place more value on someone’s talents and passions. Yet reality rarely works that way. That’s why Cilia Kanellopoulos is a true leading rebel: She knows from personal experience how you have to get scrappy to effect the change you want, which is why she’s all about paying it forward to others and giving a chance to the underdogs. And in the work she did with the women’s empowerment impact accelerator F-LANE, she experienced time and again how that strategy pays off for everyone!
