Empowering women through mentorship

The initiative aligns with Viva Executive Assistants' social mission, which focuses on increasing the participation of women in the workforce by providing meaningful career opportunities for women in emerging economies, particularly in Latin America. This commitment directly addresses the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG #5), which aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

During her talk, Spradlin reflected on her early career experiences in human resources, highlighting the significance of mentorship and the challenges of navigating organizational changes. Her insights shed light on the vital role that women leaders play in guiding the next generation.

Mentorship as a catalyst for success

Mentors can offer invaluable guidance and support, helping mentees navigate challenges and seize opportunities. By sharing her journey, Spradlin underscored the importance of establishing connections with experienced women leaders who can help foster a culture of women empowerment.

Building a unified culture during growth

The conversation also touched on the challenges of merging two distinct organizational cultures during acquisitions. Spradlin shared her experiences managing cultural integration, highlighting the need for intentional communication and collaboration. She addressed questions from the Viva team about supporting executives during accelerated growth, noting that fostering a sense of shared identity among team members is essential for creating a cohesive work environment that transcends boundaries.

Navigating change and embracing challenges
