  1. Riane Eisler: Scientist, futurist, attorney, author | "Persistence is my middle name"

    Riane Eisler: Scientist, futurist, attorney, author | "Persistence is my middle name"

    Reaching 93 years old is quite a feat. Achieving such longevity the way Riane Eisler has done so makes her journey all the more remarkable. A Jewish native of Vienna, Eisler was fortunate to live to see her 10th birthday. She and her family managed to escape Austria during the Holocaust, finding refuge in the slums of Havana, Cuba. They made their way to the United States in the late 1940s, a transition that put Eisler on a path towards gaining notoriety as a systems scientist, futurist, attorney, and author. Still active, Eisler continues to pour her mind and passion into her work. In her conversation with Women to Watch’s Sue Rocco, Eisler explains why she considers the word “persistence” to be her middle name, and shares thought-provoking learnings from her decades-long career.

    Tia Wiggins, AWS Senior Partner Sales Leader | The spirit of hustle

    Tia Wiggins grew up an Army "brat." She knows what it's like to scrap, adapt, and hustle. These defining qualities were acquired in her youth and have shaped her life ever since, especially professionally. Sometimes, the path was straightforward. Other times, it demanded persistence. Through it all, Wiggins has maintained an incredibly strong sense of self-belief, all while following through consistently on her ambitions. Women to Watch's Sue Rocco chats with Wiggins about goal-setting, and why Wiggins has prioritized giving back to women who have faced similar circumstances to her own.

  3. Lia Buffa De Feo; Executive, Activist, Author | Knowing you are not alone

    Lia Buffa De Feo; Executive, Activist, Author | Knowing you are not alone

    As far back as Lia Buffa De Feo can remember, she wanted to be a mother. Chalk it up to growing up in an Italian immigrant family in suburban New York. There were plenty of examples in her life of strong women serving as the backbone of their respective households, and she hoped to one day fulfill such a presence herself. Much to De Feo’s surprise, and in the face of unimaginable tragedy, she discovered the road to motherhood was far from smooth. Many women endure their share of hardship during pregnancy; few have to overcome the loss of one child to stillbirth, and another to a fatal prenatal condition. How did De Feo cope not only with these obstacles, but her fertility struggles in general? What helped De Feo persevere both at home and in the workplace? Women to Watch’s Sue Rocco explores these subjects with De Feo, who is determined to use the pain from her own experience to advocate for expectant mothers encountering similar challenges.

    Willow Hill, Scout Lab Co-Founder & CCO | Not seeing limits

    From her earliest stages of life, Willow Hill learned an invaluable lesson: never let circumstances define you. Her mother, who gave birth to Willow at 16, embodied this mindset, demonstrating to her daughter that hard work, resourcefulness, and resilience can change a person's trajectory. Years later, these qualities have served Willow well. She played a leading role in transforming Airbnb into a global brand, and has since gone on to co-found Scout Lab, an award-winning, purpose-driven creative communications agency that has collaborated with companies like Wix.com and Venmo. In a conversation with Women to Watch's Sue Rocco, Willow shares insights on leadership, motherhood, and the benefits of not setting limits on potential.

    Virginia Reese Coles, Amazon Global Alliance Leader | "Just say yes"

    Virginia Reese Coles, for as far back as she can remember, has always had a yearning to do something big. Based on her track record, it's safe to say the Amazon executive has done just that. From getting her foot in the door at the White House fresh out of college, to working at a telecommunications giant for parts of three decades, Virginia attributes her success to a simple yet significant philosophy: "Just say yes." Women to Watch host Sue Rocco talks with Virginia about her professional path, the influence of her mother, her stunt car-driving side gig, and how she landed a dream gig at Amazon.

In a conversation with Women to Watch's Sue Rocco, Janet talks about her time growing up in Washington D.C., the key traits she believes she inherited from her parents, her love of her work, and why she wants women to know that they are not alone.
