TeamWomen is grateful to have so many rockstar board members and women who make up our community. This month, we’re highlighting TeamWomen Member and Board of Directors Member Cecilia Stanton Adams! Cecilia is most known for her track record as an accomplished educator and diversity thought leader. She most recently became Allianz Life’s new Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, where she focuses on developing comprehensive diversity and inclusion initiatives. Prior to that, she was CEO of the Stanton Adam Diversity Institute, where she provided services to improve strategic workforce planning, recruiting and retention, cultural competence, and more. Find out what keeps her involved with TeamWomen, what inspires her, and the best career advice she’s ever received below.
Why did you join TeamWomen and what keeps you involved?
I’m originally from New York so when I moved to Minnesota it was difficult to find professional women to connect with and build relationships. On several occasions, I was invited to attend TeamWomen events by both Patty Sagert and Katy Burke. I really enjoyed my experience from the start. What stood out the most and continues to make me want to come back is the sense of inclusion that you feel being a part of the TeamWomen family.
Who or what inspires you?
I am inspired by my grandmother. She migrated from Honduras in order to find opportunities for her family. I’ve always thought that was such a brave thing to do, especially since she did it with my five-year-old mother in tow. I am, to this day, so inspired that she took those first brave steps and I know she would be proud to see all of what her family has accomplished as a result.
What is the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I’ve ever received was when I was encouraged to leave my community and venture out to other states, even if there weren’t very many people that looked like me or came from my same background. At first, I thought that advice was crazy, but I took it. As a result, I have experienced far more opportunities than if I would have stayed within my comfort zone.
What do you do for fun?
I love to hang out with my family, two dogs, Danny and Scrappy, and cat, Lucy.
What can women do to support other women around them, professionally and personally?
Mentor another girl or woman. It’s easy to think “I don’t have anything to pass on,” but we all do. We only get better when we share what we know!
