The Transformative Journey of Mariana Atencio

Mariana is a Peabody Award-winning journalist and bestselling author that helps people and organizations become more authentic, something every modern business direly needs. Mariana’s message resonates on both an individual level and an organizational level, filling the room with ideas and insights that stem from her own journey.

Mariana's path to authenticity began when she emigrated to the United States.

Embracing her authenticity led to a cascade of success, from her transformative TEDx talk, watched by millions, to her bestselling book Perfectly You that invites us all to “be real.”
