🌟 Behind-the-Scenes Magic: THE PMI #WEC Conference in Riviera Maya
Hola a todos! It's Gaby Natale here. When 2023 started I made a promise to myself to show more of the behind the scenes of my work. While it's great to showcase the polished final products, there's magic in revealing the journey that got you there.
So today I am taking you with me to the beautiful Riviera Maya to experiment PMI’s global #WEC23 conference from the POV of an opening speaker + “conference connector emcee” (aka me!). From the delayed flights to get there to the tech check up and media interview to delivering a keynote and then serving as “connector” between main sessions… it’s all here!
For those considering sharing a little bit more of the #BTS of their own work, here are 3 tips - applicable to any industry:
• Document, Don’t Create: This is a perfect tip for those with a busy schedule. Instead of constantly thinking about what content to make, just document your process. It could be a brainstorming session, the mistakes made during a project, or the joy of a small victory. Raw authenticity speaks louder than crafted perfection.
• Use BTS to offer value: Many budding professionals in your field are looking for guidance. When you share the 'how' of your work, not just the 'what', you become a beacon of knowledge, paving the path for the next generation. Are you in fashion? Show how a garment is stitched. Cooking? Reveal prep work. Tech? Dive into code writing. By giving a glimpse of your process, you show others it can be done.
• Don’t overthink it: If you are looking for the perfect moment or equipment to start sharing your #BTS, you will never start. Done is better than perfect… and whose #BTS is perfect anyway?
Remember, in a world chasing after the final picture, there’s untold power in showcasing the journey. (And if you are a woman, we need your work #BTS content even more! One of the reasons why I decided to start documenting my journey is because I was craving this type of content and found mostly men creating it).
Here's to embracing and celebrating every chapter of our stories. 🎥✨
Thank you to the MPI team and to everyone who allowed us to make this experience so special!

TED Talk Gaby "PIONEER, HOW TO BE WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE": www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk7T3...
Gaby Natale believes in breaking barriers. And she embodies what she preaches.
As the first Latina to win 3 Daytime EMMYs back-to-back (as host and executive producer of her own show), the first Hispanic author to be published by HarperCollins' Leadership division and one of the few foreign-born writers to narrate their audiobook in English, Gaby has had her own share of being "the first like her" in leadership spaces.
A sought-after thought leader and motivational speaker, Gaby has shared her inspirational message in Fortune 50 corporations, the United Nations and in her own TEDx talk encouraging underrepresented minorities to pioneer and be what they cannot (yet) see in the world.
Natale is among a few women in the entertainment industry who owns not only the rights to her content, but also a television studio. This unique situation has allowed her to combine her passion for media and her entrepreneurial spirit.
People magazine named Natale one of 2018's "25 Most Powerful Latinas", highlighting the inspirational story of how she went from a local TV show that started out of a carpet warehouse to becoming the only Latina in US history to win triple back-to-back Daytime EMMYs. Her popularity grew even further when her first book, "The Virtuous Circle" by HarperCollins, became an instant bestseller, topping Amazon's New Releases charts in 3 different categories (Business, Inspiration and Self-Help).
Natale is also the founder of AGANARmedia, a marketing company with a focus on Hispanic audiences that serves Fortune 500 companies such as Hilton Worldwide, Sprint, AT&T, eBay, Intuit and Amazon. In the digital world, she has a thriving fan base with over 52 million views on KZread and 250K+ followers on Social Media.
Natale has been featured in Forbes, CNN, Buzzfeed, NBC News, Univision and Latino Leaders magazine. She is the recipient of NALIP's Digital Trailblazer Award and of a GLAAD Media Award nomination for her portrayal of Latino LGBTQ youth in media.
