This week on Women Influencers I spoke with Laura G. Patac, who grew up in communist Romania and transformed from a shy math student into a powerful storyteller and leader. Laura discovered her creative voice through poetry and journaling during a difficult time in her youth, which helped her express emotions and connect with others.

After Romania’s shift to capitalism, Laura joined corporate American companies as they moved into Romania during her 20s, building a 25-year global career across five continents. She overcame challenges like speaking up and language barriers by combining her love of storytelling with her analytical skills. Eventually, she returned to her passion for writing, publishing her first book Stories with Purpose during the pandemic and launching a podcast to conquer her fear of exposure. Laura’s journey shows how blending creativity with leadership can inspire and influence others.

Now, as an entrepreneur, Laura aims to reach 100,000 people with her message about the power of personal stories. She believes thinking big and leading with purpose create lasting impact beyond titles or results. Laura invites listeners to connect with her on LinkedIn and explore her book on Amazon, encouraging everyone to embrace their unique stories and the courage to share them.

“Thinking small makes you limited.” - Laura G. Patac
