The Labels That Define Us

Episode 223: The Labels That Define Us with Betsy Cerulo 

Everywhere we turn, a new label pops up telling us how we should define ourselves. Some are meant to be a badge of honor, while others cause hurt and pain. The labels “assigned” to us can open past wounds and impact our behaviors and choices.  They can keep us down, not allowing us to achieve success in life.  The world uses these labels to define us and separate us. But what if we embraced the labels and used them for good?  In this episode, innovator, author, and business owner, Betsy Cerulo, shares how you can claim your labels and use them as fuel for greater success.

Betsy is the founder of the hugely successful professional staffing and executive search firm. AdNet/AccountNet and advocates for workplace excellence and equity. Growing up in a home that favored the boys over the girls, coming out after falling for a college classmate, she experienced the sting of unkind and discriminating labels. In business, as she tried to rise as a young executive search professional, she found her way blocked and her salary less simply because she was ”a woman.”  So can YOU really choose your labels and use them to empower yourself, your business, or your career? Tune in and find out how Betsy was able to overcome the labels that defined her and achieve ultimate success.
