How to Decide When It’s Time to Bet on Yourself: Silvia’s Founder Journey
Join us for Room for Growth with Silvia
This virtual session explores one of the hardest growth questions many people face: how do you know when it’s time to bet on yourself?
The conversation is for anyone feeling a decision resurface, whether it’s about starting something new, leaving something familiar, or stepping into a different chapter that feels meaningful but uncertain.
Silvia will share her founder journey through three key decision points when she knew it was time to make a move. She’ll speak candidly about what she listened to, what she ignored, how she de risked her choices, and what surprised her along the way. This is not a highlight reel or a take the leap story, but an honest look at the signals and fears that often come before change.
The session will close with a moderated Q&A and space for reflection. You’ll receive materials after the session to continue the work on your own time, when you need it.
Meet Silvia
Silvia Oviedo Lopez is a founder and operator based in San Francisco. After leading global teams at companies like Canva and Pinterest, and helping them grow to hundreds of millions of users globally, Silvia saw firsthand how much talent gets lost not because of lack of ambition, but because of lack of support, reflection, and belonging at work.
Her work sits at the intersection of technology, culture, and human development. She writes and speaks about professional growth, time and energy, leadership, and what it really means to build humane, high-performing workplaces in an AI-shaped world.
