Finding Your Dream with Liz Elting

If you are ready to dream big and take your next leap in life, look no further than Liz Elting for guidance. Inspired by her love of learning languages and connecting with global communities, Liz dove headfirst into the entrepreneurial world and co-founded TransPerfect, the world’s largest provider of language and business solutions, out of her NYU dorm room. And in 2018, she founded the The Elizabeth Elting Foundation which is dedicated to bridging gaps and advancing the economic, social, and political equality of women and marginalized communities. Most recently, she’s written the best-selling book Dream Big and Win: Translating Passion Into Purpose and Creating a Billion-Dollar Business full of her personal tips for transforming your ideas into action. In this interview, we discuss the story behind how Liz started TransPerfect, her advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, and how to make your dream a reality.
