Through our challenges, we all need a reminder that our stories can empower our journeys

Serena Sacks-Mandel built a successful tech career on the foundation of a tough childhood. Brick by brick, she laid a new foundation for herself, one where she saw each of her successes as evidence that she could do more.

A huge part of her self-empowerment came from framing her own narrative-her personal story-in a way that each roadblock became a lesson, something she overcame.

If Serena's story teaches us anything, it's that we can change how we view our personal challenges to lead us to bigger and better things than we ever dreamed of

If you've always been an outlier, a trail-blazer, a mover and shaker-or want to be-then you'll love the inspiration you get from Serena's story. From unwanted child to solo woman in a board room full of men to cancer survivor, Serena has stretched for the next level every step of the way and routinely reached it through perseverance, education, resilience, and an eagle eye on her purpose.

When you control your narrative, you can only keep climbing higher
