Despite all the strikes, she played the humble card<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We can\u2019t blame Luchi entirely for how late the debates started, although admittedly she did have a hand in the delay. That\u2019s the thing. She\u00a0<i>admitted<\/i>\u00a0her mistake and willingly took the blame for her miscommunication (regarding the allowance of notes at the podium). There were sneers and cheers for the move but that\u2019s part of the job.\u00a0One of the responsibilities of a president is holding a lot of power.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have a boss telling you what to do, you call the shots. If a decision they make goes south, it\u2019s not unthinkable for politicians to cover it up and lay the blame elsewhere. Luchi made the conscious decision to point the finger at herself and not anyone else, like so many politicians do.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6053\" src=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Small_players_have_a_place_in_the_big_leagues_too\"><\/span><b>2. Small players have a place in the big leagues too<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to hosting events, much less a presidential debate, there\u2019s no doubt that things will get chaotic. When it\u00a0<i>did<\/i> actually get out of hand\u2014where the candidates\u2019 arguments started getting personal, or when they exceeded the time given to them, or when the candidates tried to bend the rules\u2014she constantly reminded, or better yet, \u2018schooled\u2019 them with the rules of the game; not letting her position as the floor\u00a0director\u00a0hinder her capabilities to talk to the senior players (with respect, of course). She played it smart. She stood her ground.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s another thing when it comes to being the underdog. As president, or just the everyday employee for that matter, it\u2019s a conscious job for you show the seniors what you\u2019re capable of, and not be easily confounded when people try to bend the rules. Find the logical reasoning, consult mentors, and make smart decisions. And this is exactly what Luchi did during the debate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6047\" src=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"955\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-2.png 955w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-2-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-2-768x392.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 955px) 100vw, 955px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_For_all_intents_and_purposes_she_played_fair\"><\/span><b>3.

Despite this, she remained neutral with all the candidates, allowing each to speak and cutting them off when time was up. With the heated arguments going on right in front of her, she had to have certain opinions but she kept the game fair for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>The job description for president requires you to represent several parties and sectors, some you identify with and some you don\u2019t. As much as you want to keep all parties happy, not everyone will be pleased with each law or bill passed but you\u2019re making decisions on behalf of a country, and not just people you identify with. Luchi played professional and played fair.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6049\" src=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-3.jpg 720w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-3-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_She_was_the_real_MVP_with_all_her_grace_under_pressure\"><\/span><b>4.

From the constant banter to bend the rules to arguing like schoolchildren, that\u2019s a weight that none of us would have volunteered for, but Luchi handled it like a boss. Her professionalism exuded throughout the debate.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re in a stress-filled position, like being the president of an entire nation, it\u2019s as if you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. But even if that\u2019s the case, you still have to soldier on and work like a duck\u2013remain calm in the surface, but paddle like hell underneath.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>You owned it, Ms. Luchi!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6051\" src=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"930\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-4.jpg 930w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-4-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/reasons-why-luchi-cruz-valdez-should-run-for-president-4-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/confirmsubscription.com\/h\/i\/77238488FF110D6D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe<\/a>\u00a0to our weekly newsletter and get Kalibrr Career Advice straight from your inbox!
