As an entrepreneur, Barbara Viteri was wildly successful: she was regularly featured on magazine covers and television, and yet she didn’t feel fulfilled. “I noticed that the passion we tell everyone to have…was not really a passion,” she tells CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour in this candid conversation. “It was a bit scary.” Listen in as she shares the personal reinvention that took her on a career whirlwind, how she chose to leave the world of celebrity interior design on a high note and developed the confidence to embark on a new career as a corporate recruiter. Now CNA International’s fastest-growing senior executive recruiter and building a million dollar portfolio in her first year of business, Viterari shares all her tips and tricks that helped her make her reinvention a reality.
