Griselda Abousleman – The Power of Optimism

Mark talks with an esteemed Lean colleague, Griselda Abousleman, whose life story should be an inspiration to all minority women, as well as to all of us who are struggling to make it in this world. Her incredible story is chronicled in her newly released book, “From the Border to the Boardroom.” Griselda talks about her upbringing in a Texas border town and her tenacity to refuse to give in when others told her she cannot succeed. Her rise from the border town of Brownsville, Texas, to an Ivy League education to the top echelons of Corporate America, and now, a successful entrepreneur, should inspire all. Known globally, Griselda is the founder of a Lean consulting and executive coaching business, Lean Business Excellence (www.businesscoachingresults.com). Her personal mantra, "Let your optimism carry you forward,"  is not only a lesson for business but a lesson in life!
