Her Interview
Ten minutes with Alicia
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my knowledge of resources and my ability to connect people. My skill set is helping people connect and find different resources, whether emotional welfare or social activities. I spend most of my time doing the gifting group where people tell me what they need and I do my best to find it. That's been my biggest strength.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
When you find yourself in a challenging situation, don't give up, persevere. Sometimes you need to take a step back, look at the big picture. Don't be so narrow-minded.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
When people reject you, do your best not to take it too hard because when you take it to heart then it affects you as a whole. Use your resources, use your people connections. If you want to try and make things right with someone who rejected you, try to, it never hurts. Ask for help from someone else to reach out to those who rejected you on behalf of you. The worst thing you can get is no, but if you don't ask, you'll never know.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
My biggest opportunities recently are business creation and business expansion. Having a business mindset, I understand the behind the scenes, how that works, the grunt behind creating a business, the effort, the scheduling, the tactics, and the audience most importantly. I'm able to decipher and analyze what is desired versus what is not desired.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
My values are the relationships, so I value maintaining relationships and truly getting to know the individual. I don't want to just be surface level, so I'm able to carry on a decent conversation with someone and provide support as necessary.
