21.Find Your Passion with Andrea Silbert, President, Eos Foundation

“Everybody needs a passion. That’s what keeps life interesting. If you live without passion, you can go through life without leaving any footprints.” (Betty White)

Do you know what your passion is? Today we are talking with Andrea Silbert, President of the Eos Foundation. Andrea has been a mentor of mine for over 18 years. I was drawn to her because of her mission to support women. When we met, she was the CEO of the Center for Women Enterprise and also the mama of 3 kids. Andrea went to Harvard for both undergrad and business school and had a career in banking, then moved to non-profit. To create change on the policy level, she ran for Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. Today, she is the President of the Eos Foundation, where they are doing research on the power gap and glass ceiling that still exists today. Throughout the years, I’ve asked her a lot of advice – on how to choose career paths, how to lead as a woman, and most definitely how to balance work and life. 

In Boss Mamas, we talk about the importance of leaning into your own power, believing in yourself, and not letting others hold you back. Andrea is a great example of finding her passion and going for it. She also shares the importance of finding the right partner and that both parties should have a fulfilling career outside of the home.
