Diana Acuna has spent the last 20 years in SaaS, helping companies evaluate and implement software solutions across a variety of industries.
Despite having success throughout her career, deep down she was afraid to be herself and afraid of what other people thought, so she became a perfectionist.
She had focused on the external factors that would progress her career rather than the internal struggles that were holding her back.
One day she decided to choose courage over fear and realized that expressing her feelings, opinions, and emotions wasn’t going to kill her.
In fact, the opposite was true. People engaged and responded positively.
In today's episode of Smashing the Plateau, you will learn how improving your emotional intelligence can drive lasting change in your career and your life.
