Women In Business – Andreina Toro – Personal Branding
What if the life you’re living isn’t the one that will fulfill you? In just three seconds, everything I had worked for was put on pause. A traumatic brain injury forced me into darkness—literally. But in that stillness, I saw the truth: accomplishment isn’t the same as fulfillment. I wanted more. I wanted freedom, creativity, and a life fueled by passion. So I took the risk, walked away from the corporate world, and built something entirely my own. This talk is about the power of belief, resilience, and daring to rewrite your story—because the biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s never trying at all.
This talk — held on Tuesday, March 11th — is about reinvention, resilience, and the power of asking—for opportunities, for a seat at the table, for the life you truly want. You’ll learn how to break through identity crises, embrace the discomfort of change, and align passion with profit. It’s a reminder that success isn’t reserved for the lucky—it’s for those who dare to believe, take risks, and go all in on themselves. Because the real question isn’t why me?—it’s why not me?
