- Careers
Ana Dutra is the president and CEO of The Executives’ Club of Chicago, the largest and oldest civic organization in the United States devoted to the development and networking of C-level executives. On this episode of the podcast, Dutra shares inclusive strategies that inspire more women to seek leadership positions and examines how professional women can combat “imposter syndrome.”
She also is the founder and CEO of Mandala Global Advisors, a global management and consulting company. A Brazilian native with more than 20 years of experience in P&L Management, business growth and C-level consulting in 30-plus countries, Dutra is at the top of her game in leading turnarounds, global acquisitions and post-merger integrations.
Key Interview Takeaways
In order to transform the culture and create a climate that welcomes women in leadership positions, we must…
* establish income parity
* be deliberate in our hiring practices
* work to be more empathetic toward employees balancing family and work
Make the distinction between career beliefs and career motives. Women must question whether their ambitions are truly their own or what they’ve been taught to aspire to.
Learn through the experience of others. It’s imperative that successful women are transparent and vulnerable, willing to share their stories of insecurity. As Dutra tells her daughters, “We see other people’s outside with our inside.” Though it may appear that the leaders we look up to have it all together, they have crises of confidence too.
Combat “imposter syndrome” by reminding yourself that you were given your role because you have relevant experience, intelligence and people trust you. Why wouldn’t you trust yourself?
