About this episode

Alexis Meruelo discusses the importance of self-worth in authentic leadership and shares her three-phase framework for stepping into power.

What if the worst moment of your life was actually preparing you for your purpose? Alexis Meruelo is an author, speaker, founder of the Business of Her conference, and Chief Vision and Purpose Officer of the Meruelo Group, overseeing corporate social responsibility across companies, including SAHARA Las Vegas and the Grand Sierra Resort. But her path to power didn't come from playing it safe. It came from a devastating breakup that forced her to redefine what success actually meant. In this conversation, Alexis shares her three-phase framework from her new book Getting You Ready for Power: believe in yourself, build your team, and rise to lead.

If you're navigating a transition, questioning your worth, or wondering how to step into something bigger, this conversation is your permission slip.
