Author of the book, The Good Goodbye: How to Navigate Change and Loss in Life, Love, and Work, Clinical Psychologist, former University President, entrepreneur, mentor and winner of the Women Worth Watching in Education Award, Dr Ato inspires with the story of how she went from childhood hardship, trying to be invisible as an introverted young person and deep self-doubt to becoming a phenomenal and confident force for change in the Latino community and beyond. She broke though confidence barriers and mined the power inside her by saying YES to every opportunity and developed an infectious enthusiasm for life and the power we have to make things happen. Her wisdom, personal experiences and practical approach to living a life of gratitude and abundance carries powerful, life changing lessons for all who want to experience a life of substance.
