About Me
Hi, I'm Cecilia Hajredinaj (Rodriguez Gallardo)
Leadership Coach & Strategist
As the founder of Thrive & Lead by Design, I bring 35+ years of cumulative leadership and coaching experience garnered from various Fortune 500 companies. This extensive journey has honed my skills as a career navigator and a leader. Throughout my professional journey, I've nurtured a talent for inspiring and guiding individuals, particularly women and ethnically diverse professionals, to overcome obstacles to success and unlock their full potential. I'm deeply driven by the conviction that diverse viewpoints are essential for enriching any workplace.

Recognizing the pivotal role of self-awareness in my own leadership evolution, I've actively collaborated with trusted partners – coaches – to accomplish my goals, enhance my skills, confront limiting beliefs, and uncover my true motivations. Embracing every facet of my identity has been integral to overcoming challenges and crafting a fulfilling career.

Success Stories
"The coaching sessions taught me to be kinder to myself and appreciate my accomplishments. Also, to value my time and delegate to others when possible. Cecilia was a great listener to my challenges of the week and helped me to navigate through them and set priorities. The career projection exercise was challenging and very effective. It brought to light professional areas of interest I had been contemplating, but had not put on paper in this way. It is a great tool and will use it in the future."
