June 11, 2025 – The latest session in the Women of Esler: Accelerate Speaker Series featured an open, inspiring conversation with Kelly Aronson, Senior Vice President of Affiliate Retail Operations and Digital Experience at Renewal by Andersen Corporate.
Known for her leadership and impact across the business world, Kelly opened up about what it means to take charge with empathy, honesty, and confidence – especially as the only woman in the room.
Teammates appreciated how real Kelly was about overcoming self-doubt and navigating male-dominated spaces, all while showing up as a mom, a mentor, and a friend. Her words were a reminder that leadership isn’t about fitting a mold – it’s about being yourself and helping others do the same.
Aronson shared:
“I was deeply honored to be a part of the Women of Esler: Candid Leadership event. Bringing professional women together to share honest insights about career growth and the challenges we face in the workplace is not just empowering, it’s essential for building stronger, more united paths forward. When women thrive in leadership roles, they don’t just transform their industries—they inspire future generations to dream bigger, push boundaries, and know that their goals are achievable and deserving of celebration.”
Key takeaways from the session:
- Own your story. Career growth rarely follows a straight line – and that’s okay.
- Start small. Even small goals can build momentum.
- Stay curious. Replace fear with learning and interest.
- Representation matters. Showing up helps others feel they can, too.
- Claim your space. You’re here for a reason. Your voice matters.
When asked which part of the conversation stuck out the most, one teammate shared:
“I was inspired by Kelly’s advice to take situations you’d normally see as setbacks and instead see them as opportunities to challenge yourself and grow.”
The Women of Esler: Accelerate Speaker Series continues to spark genuine conversations and shine a light on the voices, experiences, and influences of women across the business. Esler Companies’ culture of care is committed to representing inclusivity and equality in the workplace.
