Ignite
Latinos remain largely invisible in leadership positions.
Latinos are 20% of the workforce but hold only 10% of management and 4% of executive roles, resulting in a 450% leadership gap.
One barrier Latino professionals face is a lack of access to high-quality, culturally relevant professional development that will support them as Latino leaders in their career journey. In fact, only 0.5% of Latinos have access to effective professional development.
Ignite is a Latino leadership development program rooted in context, culture, and neuroscience.
Ignite offers an opportunity to:
- Explore identity
- Build confidence
- Use neuroscience to develop executive decision-making strategies
- Create a framework for advancement
- Increase social capital
The Ignite Journey
76% of Latino professionals report that they repress or hide part of their identity and culture at work because they believe that it will help them advance in their careers.
Ignite is designed to reflect the rich diversity of experiences within the Latino community while meeting individuals where they are in their unique leadership journey.
Participants of Ignite are Motivated to:
- Overcome internal and external barriers to success
- Override unwanted thinking and habits
- Learn strategies to make new thoughts and behaviors stick
- Expand both professional and personal networks
Grow Your Social Network
Ignite is intentionally designed to build the social capital of Latino professionals through partner and small group work by providing a space where participants bring visibility to the diversity of experiences among Latinos and actively challenge the notion of the Latino monolith.
