From invisible to influential | Dr. Ginny Baro | TEDxThird Ward

In "From Invisible to Influential," Dr. Ginny Baro shares a deeply personal story about what it means to move through life and leadership while feeling unseen, even as success grows on the outside. Drawing from her journey as an immigrant, senior corporate leader, and executive advisor, Dr. Ginny traces how a childhood instinct for safety shaped how she learned to show up, stay quiet, and wait for belonging. Through her own experience and the stories of leaders she has coached, she illustrates how invisibility can persist long after external success appears secure. Rather than offering explanations or formulas, this talk challenges a widely held assumption: that belonging, confidence, and influence come from being recognized, chosen, or approved first. Dr. Ginny offers a different truth. Influence begins when we choose to believe in ourselves and invest in our growth before certainty arrives. She invites audiences to notice where they may be waiting to be seen or validated and to take one honest step that signals self-belief. Not a dramatic leap, but a deliberate choice that shifts who leads when fear is present. "From Invisible to Influential" is a call to stop waiting to belong and start choosing to believe in yourself, because that choice is where influence begins. From immigrating to the U.S. at 14 to becoming a Top 100 Global Thought Leader, award-winning keynote speaker, and #1 bestselling author, Dr. Ginny Baro’s work is grounded in purposeful, human-centered leadership. With more than 25 years in technology and financial services, including over two decades in leadership roles, Dr. Ginny is a keynote speaker, executive coach, and executive leadership advisor to C-suite leaders and executive teams navigating complexity, disruption, and high-stakes decision-making. She is known for helping leaders cut through noise, strengthen alignment, and lead with confidence when it matters most. In 2017, she founded ExecutiveBound, where she advises executive teams, coaches senior leaders, and speaks globally on leadership, influence, and alignment at the top. Her work helps organizations resolve leadership breakdowns that stall execution and dilute impact, translating misalignment into clear operating roadmaps for results. Since 2021, Dr. Ginny has served as an external leadership coach for McKinsey & Company’s Hispanic/Latino Executive Leadership Program, supporting senior leaders as they navigate complex transformation and enterprise-wide change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
