Welcome to EP 046 of the CVD Podcast!!
Clara Angelina Diaz-Anderson is an incredible woman with an amazing mission!
Originally from the Dominican Republic, Clara moved to the US with her parents when she was young. She faced culture shock and depression, especially during the winters. She started to take personal development more seriously and was determined to make her winters better by associating them with fun times. Eventually this led her to ask herself, "if I can CHOOSE to create my best winters, why not my best year?"
After a number of years working in the corporate world, Clara's passion for personal development led her to create ClaraFying Coaching and Consulting Institute where she helps leaders and coaches make significant impact personally, professionally, and systematically.
Clara also developed the Create Your Best Year Leader's Network and is an executive coach, an author, a podcast host, a speaker, a member of the Forbes Magazine Coaches Council and a guest lecturer at Harvard Business School (more info below). She is on a mission to co-create a world that embraces diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and liberation.
