Sofía Cowan, director of the company SC Hunting, a Human Resources consulting company, dedicated to the search, selection, evaluation and development of talent for companies. She explains some of the keys to her business success. First of all. she affirms that the concept of “success” varies from person to person. But for her it is to live doing what she likes.
“I help other people and companies to achieve what they set out to do, finding enormous meaning in everything I do, I have the mental and physical health to achieve it, while I have the energy and enough time to live closely each stage of the company’s growth. my daughter and to enjoy each achievement with my loved ones. So, I would say that the key to success is to define very well what success is finally for each one and live in coherence and harmony based on it, ”she explained.
DIFFICULTIES
He affirms that, in the workplace, he had more difficulties than men. This, in the sense that, as a woman and head of household, she intends to carry out a business, while she fulfills responsible motherhood along with all the other roles that she has to assume, turns out to be very demanding.
“I believe that there are still very deep gaps in gender equality at the country level. related to the workplace. Due, for example, to the domestic and care responsibilities that fall heavily on women, they have greater restrictions than men to occupy more formal, regular jobs, or with a longer workload that could allow them to have higher incomes or more stable,” he said.
For the interviewee, another issue related to the gender gap at the labor level is that there are still many positions or professions where men are mainly thought of and not women.
“Although we see a gradual change, it is a reality that only the male sex is still thought of when we speak of industrial, engineering, electronic, mechanical, computer or similar positions, or when we think of senior executive positions, the difference is still very significant,” he said.
TIP
Finally, Cowan advises readers that in order to feel strong, empowered, or successful, they must first feel useful. That is, find a deep meaning in what they do to help and serve others.
“Working and living from our true purpose will greatly increase our sense of well-being, of feeling that we contribute, that we deliver value with our work and that we generate a great impact. We find purpose in doing and serving, and it is related to others and never to ourselves. Giving a meaning or mission to what we do is the beginning of great successes”, he concluded.
