2021 Sessions

Written All Over Your Face

Speaker: Joaquín Zihuatanejo

FRI 9:15 AM - 10:30 AM

We all navigate through worlds that attempt to make us step outside of our true selves. And while it is necessary to find ways to help the whole, we cannot lose sight of how important we are as individuals and the strength and resilience we bring to projects and endeavors because of our diverse backgrounds.

In this interactive workshop we will move, we will write, we will draw, we will discuss, and most importantly we will share our unique voices, proving to the Summit and the world that your voice is extraordinary because of the simple fact that there is no other voice in the universe that sounds like yours. Sound intimidating? Don't worry, award-winning teacher and world champion slam poet, Joaquín Zihuatanejo, will guide us through the entire process. Come to this workshop to be inspired. Leave it to be an inspiration.

Managing Impostor Syndrome as a BIPOC Professional

Speaker: Deniss Pleiner

FRI. 10:45 AM - 12:00 PM

We don’t leave our racial, gender, or other identities at the door, and this workshop covers, explains, and explores how our various identities contribute to our mental health in the workplace. How do microaggressions affect the way we see ourselves? How do our parents’ or grandparents’ immigration histories affect our motivation or self-evaluation? And what do we do about it?

This interactive workshop also includes journaling activities to kickstart self-reflection and group discussions to foster connections and support with other BIPOC Professionals. At the end of this presentation attendees will:

• Have a basic understanding of Impostor Syndrome.

• Know how their identities shape and influence how it shows up in their personal and professional lives.

• Know the red flags of Impostor syndrome.

• Build one grounding tool to support in addressing red flags.

• Know where to start if they would like to seek additional support.

Luncheon Panel: The Leadership Context

Panelists: Thomas Savino, Mandy Price, Ruben Ramirez

Moderator: Dr. Maria Gomez Albrecht

FRI. 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

The 2021 Prospanica Workplace Inclusion and Equity Report, created in partnership with Kanarys, revealed challenges within the workplace for Latino professionals.  Our panelists will discuss not only these findings but the more important questions and implications surrounding them for Latino professionals, their careers, and how they can lead with authenticity.

The Awakened Leader

Speaker: Dr. Laura Quiros

FRI. 1:15 PM - 2:30 PM

We've lost a number of great leaders in recent months: Desmond Tutu, bell hooks, Lani Guinier, and Sidney Poitier, among others.  In their lives and work, we can see a legacy of both courage and love.  Let's explore how they developed a deeper consciousness as leaders, moving to action-oriented community-building and self-care.  We'll look at tools we can utilize today to make those habits our own and to better understand the difference between intention and impact.

Finding Comfort with Discomfort

Speaker: Miguel Solis

FRI. 2:45 PM - 4:00 PM

Throughout his career, Miguel Solis has leveraged opportunities to improve the lives of others while growing as a professional. Many of the spaces where he has done this work have traditionally seen an underrepresentation of Latino voices, such as policy, politics, and non-profit leadership. This session will provide participants the chance to hear about Miguel's journey while learning key tips on how to successfully navigate their own personal and professional journeys.

Advancing Inclusion: Inclusive Leadership Workshop, pt 1

Speaker: Richard Lopez

SAT. 8:15 AM - 9:30 AM

An increasing number of organizations are leading efforts to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. However, these efforts often fall short in creating systemic change and fostering truly inclusive work environments. This interactive workshop will explore not only current DEI trends but the ways that organizations and individual leaders can successfully move from amplifying diversity to truly integrating inclusive practices into daily operations. Participants will discover inclusive leader best practices through various activities and group discussions.

Participants will discover inclusive leader best practices through various activities and group discussions.

Closing Leadership Dialogue: Support & Bias toward Action

Speaker: Dr. Laura Quiros

SAT. 11:15 AM - 12:00 PM

This workshop will engage participants in a critical dialogue around the balance between the need for leaders of color to maintain a bias toward action while also finding support.  Authentic leadership requires conscious community building and letting ourselves be known.  How do we stay open and engaged under pressure?  What will we take away from the Leadership Summit?
