Carlota - Talent Acquisition Manager at Zemsania
Do you remember a colleague who has influenced you professionally?
I pleasantly remember a fellow technology consulting firm manager who joined a team of men in which decisions were made impulsively; she proved to be a tremendous dynamic, organized and with great communication skills.
Their way of working and manage without aggression were her strong skills along with empathy, focus on detail and presentation of impeccable results.
Your leadership completely transformed the men's team, achieving more cohesion, motivation and providing better results.
A final thought
In the world of consulting, where most of the profiles are Engineering, where most of the people who take this training are male, you have to be mentally strong, do not let anyone lower your self-esteem.
While it is true that in the end, management positions are still mostly held by men, it is necessary to achieve once and for all banish the idea that a woman, if she has a family and is focused on her professional career, is frowned upon.
Many women are under this unfair pressure, resulting in professional stagnation and even their departure from entities.
It is important to work in a company where you are valued for your results, your way of working and above all under the same conditions as the rest of their peers.
Gleydys - People Manager of Zemsania
Maternal values
One woman who has inspired me is my mother. She has always instilled in me the value of hard work and taught me to be independent.
A couple of tips for women of the present and also of the future?
Let them study any career they want freely and work with true vocation in what makes them happy.
That they are persistent and work hard to achieve their goals without being influenced by what others say.
Ana - Business Manager of Zemsania
Would you highlight any particular female figure that has inspired you in your career?
Actually, those who have inspired me and will always inspire me have always been.... all my colleagues!
All the women with whom I have shared experiences, professional careers, ideas, problems and solutions... all of them are the ones that have truly inspired me.
I have learned, for example, that every woman has her own way of facing adversity at work and at the same time seeking balance with her personal life and there is no manual, so they are all inspiring in their own way.
What advice would you give to the new generation of women entering the job market?
It is key that the following generations know that there are still many difficulties and barriers imposed on women.
That there are still men who believe they are above women.
It is essential to claim new legal changes and that all the necessary controls are implemented so that injustices and inequalities towards women cease to exist in their career progression.
Whether you are a junior or senior, manager or director don't give up and keep on demonstrating, Remember that you can achieve everything you propose at work and at the same time, if you wish, be a mother, friend and woman always giving the best of you, and if you open your eyes, there will be another girl who thinks like you and little by little, we will all be contributing to the change.

My mother, source of inspiration.
My mother has always been my inspiration, a hard worker, entrepreneur and mother dedicated to her 5 children.
She was born in 1944 and from a young age she undertook various projects until she started her own toy company, when she grew up she taught art workshops and all while being a mother and wife, friend and grandmother.
Strong woman empowered inspired my entire career and my strength to continue growing personally and professionally.
Universal advice for all women?
My advice is to never let circumstances or the situations we live in determine us.
We can and we deserve Whatever we set our minds to, it is just a matter of setting our minds to it and focusing on our objectives.
We are the architects of our own destiny and we have no limits.
Cristina - Legal Manager of Zemsania
An extraordinary victory
I remember when I was a student at the University, the name of a classroom called “.“Victoria Kent”.
I discovered that, among other feats, it was the first woman in Spain to practice as a lawyer in the defense of a trial. and the first in the world to act in a military tribunal.
A piece of advice?
My advice is that, like her, you fight for what you want, that you do not be influenced by the opinions of others., They should be strong and know that they are capable of anything.
Sandra - Business Manager of Zemsania
She wanted to be a partner.
ago about 15 years, When I had finished my degree and had already taken my first steps in the professional world, I moved to Madrid in search of a new job opportunity.
I came into a huge project with a lot of people on the team and at the helm there was a strong woman with character who managed a huge project with iron hand.
At that time she was trying to breaking that glass ceiling which is now so much talked about but which at that time nobody dared to mention despite its clear existence.
She ran for membership on several occasions, achieving better numbers, crushing all assigned targets, and yet always received the negative of the board of directors to get to where she truly deserved to be.
After several years of trying to apply for this decided to resign and set up his own company which he still runs today with notable success.
If they put roofs on me, I'll break them and build whatever I want with the remains.
A bit of great advice
Fight until you find a job that becomes your passion, find your niche, find your place and if it doesn't exist, make it for yourself.
Rocio - Business Manager of Zemsania
Mom: My top reference
The reference I have present at all times is my mother, from which I have learned all values that I believe are most important when it comes to carrying out my work every day: the capacity for effort and self-improvement, always looking ahead.
A valuable tip for all of them
The advice for the new generations, although it may sound like a total cliché, but it is the most true thing: with effort, perseverance and tenacity, You can reach any goal you set for yourself, whether it takes you more or less time, but as long as you keep these qualities in mind, you will reach your goal in the end, never give up!
Carmen - Business Director Unit of Zemsania
Maternal strength
I could mention many well-known and important women, fortunately there are many and they are becoming more and more visible, but if there is one woman who has inspired me it is my mother, that hides behind its peaceful nature, to women stronger and above all resilient, I know.
Regardless of your occupation, the dedication in everything he does and the ability to overcome adversities is the best example to face the world in general and, of course, the world of work in particular.
A future without limits
Although fortunately there are fewer and fewer limits for women, I would tell them that, if they encounter the famous glass ceiling that sometimes comes our way, ignore it and pursue their professional goals.
