Hi, I'm Rebecca Leppard. I am a first-gen millennial, which means I lived through the transition from analog to digital and I'm still crushing it now in Web 3.

 

 That also means I did my research dissertation without Google, landed a job without LinkedIn, and got promoted all the way to the corner office before Coursera. I found my husband IRL too, starting with a handshake, nerves and all.

 

I am telling you all this to give you context about what I have achieved in my career since graduating from university in 2006. I was promoted as the youngest Senior Editor in a national magazine at 24, with direct reports who were much older than me, so yeah, it wasn't easy.

 

Then in 2009, I made a career change into a PR agency in a different city where I knew nobody and didn't know the local language. It was tough, but I managed to be promoted to Account Director when I was 27.

 

Two months after giving birth to my son, I landed an in-house position as Director of Public Relations in a 5-star hotel just before I turned 30. The story did not stop there, of course, because I am now 40 with C-level experiences under my belt.

 

Imagine what perspective and wisdom I have gained after two decades of overcoming various barriers as a woman of colour, a mother, and an immigrant from the Third World. That is why I am the mentor, coach, trainer, author, and speaker that you can relate to and be motivated by.
