The demand for capable, “Ready Now” Latino talent within corporations continues to grow. However, companies needing more Latino leaders are finding that they lack the internal and external resources to build that talent pool quickly. Thus, there exists an intensity in the need for strong Latino leadership development programs that is several orders of magnitude greater than the concentration of other available offerings. Moreover, existing Latino training programs often lack developmental rigor due to poor instructional design and inconsistent delivery. The result is a Latino leadership pipeline that in many companies is empty or nonexistent.
That is why Dr. Robert Rodriguez and Angel Gomez have partnered to create a concentrated program to develop mid-career Latino professionals called the Latino Leadership Intensive. The Latino Leadership Intensive will deliver cutting-edge content through sound instructional design based on Dr. Rodriguez’s research on Latino development needs and Mr. Gomez’s innovative adult learning methodology. The purpose of the Latino Leadership Intensive is to provide Hispanic professionals with a rigorous learning experience focused on the application of practical skills and techniques that drive higher workplace performance.
Along with a rigorous 2-day learning experience, participants will gain a greater understanding of how to leverage their Hispanic ethnicity as an asset and be held accountable for applying their learning through subsequent periodic coaching sessions with their managers and facilitators – a key differentiator. This program is ideally suited for individuals who want to excel at work while simultaneously mastering those times when their cultural background intersects with race and ethnicity.
