Educational Equity Webinar Series: LatinX leadership: How to employ, engage and elevate talent across generations, cultures and differences

The importance of Diversity & Inclusion has not translated over time into equal representation in senior leadership positions. The talent war, generational changes and the expectation for belonging have shifted tradition talent management models and leadership requirements. Despite the best intentions, organizations continue to experience a revolving door for talented marginalized individuals.

Featured Speaker: Miguel Joey Avilés, Chief of Diversity & Inclusion | Global D&I Speaker

Session Objectives:
• The specific steps and actions to create a workplace culture that allows everyone to thrive
• How to facilitate the right workplace interventions to increase employee engagement and performance
• Coaching and influencing techniques to increase inclusion
• How to analyze how one’s identity shapes his or her views, values and perception in the workplace
• The behaviors that enhance the use of one’s self as an agent of change
• Learn to anticipate employee needs, concerns and objections by providing mentors and mentees with safe opportunities to discuss and explore issues around race, oppression and discrimination
