Her recent TEDx talk in York Beach, Maine, titled "Don't be afraid to fail in the career of your dreams. Be afraid to succeed in the career of your nightmares," is an inspiring reminder to fearlessly pursue your passions. She was named as one of Top 15 Coaches in Boston for 2023 by Influence Digest. Alicia and I talked about how can your personal stories help you stand out in an interview. She told me: "If you think about five people going into a job interview for one role, what's the one thing that's going to set you apart? It's your stories. They don't have your life. They haven't done what you have done in your career specific to the people you work with, this specific project, the numbers, the quantifiable results ... that's what's going to make you unique and stand out."
