Lacey Picazo, the founder and principal of local digital design agency ZoCo Design, said she had to stop waiting for opportunities to show up in her career."Typically you aren't given opportunities you don't ask for," she said. "But if you're not willing to raise your hand and say 'I want this, what do I need to do to get it?' ... I think when you show that initiative, it almost never goes unnoticed."Picazo calls it "setting the table for yourself" in your career. "Don't wait to be asked for a seat at the table – set the table," she said.In this episode of the Women of Influence podcast, Picazo also goes deep on what it's like to be a company founder, the work that's truly needed to start your own business, dealing with "mom guilt", and also gives some practical tips for all you future female entrepreneurs out there.
