Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month & Advancing Equality As we embrace Hispanic Heritage Month, it's crucial to recognize the remarkable contributions of Latinos have made to the development and growth of our country. Let's also acknowledge the work that remains in achieving equality, particularly in closing the wage gap for Latinas and promoting diversity in corporate leadership. The Latina wage gap persists, with Latinas earning just 55 cents for every dollar earned by their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts. This disparity is not just a statistic; it's a barrier to economic security and prosperity for countless families. To truly celebrate and honor our Hispanic heritage, we must advocate for change: 1st **Equal Pay**: Encourage pay equity initiatives and transparency in your organizations. 2) **Diverse Leadership**: Advocate for Latinas in leadership roles, from the boardroom to the C-suite. 3) **Mentorship & Sponsorship**: Create mentorship programs to uplift Latino talent. Corporate America, it's time to act! Let's not only celebrate diversity but also ensure it's reflected at all levels of leadership. Together, we can build a more inclusive and equitable future. #HispanicHeritageMonth #CloseTheWageGap #LatinasInLeadership #dei Lupita Sanchez Cornejo AT&T UnidosUS (UnidosUS (UnidosUS (@WeAreUnidosUS) NALEO Educational Fund

Well yesterday's discussion on personal branding was as brilliant as I thought it would be. Reflecting on the conversation and how to avoid the 'ick' around self-promotion, the answer is reframing.... 1. Reframe as professional branding rather than personal. Being personal and sharing everything is not everyone's cup of tea. That is ok, think about your profile as one you wear to work 2. Reframe your "what should I talk about" and instead start with your core values and the areas you are passionate about. As I said yesterday, you haven't got where you are today without being smart, clever and just brilliant at what you do 3. Reframe the self promotion idea which can feel vain or ego driven. instead it is about sharing your knowledge helping others and building a legacy of your passion, career and insight for those coming up the ranks behind you. Oh and after the very big discussion about "over thinking it all", the very clear answer is just to bloomin' do it! And for anyone who wants to talk about raising their game and getting out there with thought leadership - happy to help in whatever way I can. As I said at the lunch, paying it forward with kindness is my core value!

Every few months, I run a female leadership event for those in senior positions at Good Companies - you know, the decent ones, with values and heart. The theme of this session was personal branding, or better described (thanks Katy Howell) as professional branding. Some key takeaways: - Identify your set of values. We're comfortable doing it for our businesses, but less comfortable reflecting on our own set of values. This shapes how we show up in the professional world. - Hone in on the THREE things you passionately care about. Be disciplined - no more than this. - Be consistent, be authentic and be kind. Especially be kind, in this crazy time we are living through. - Build your network, your tribe, who can support you & champion you, and give you confidence when perhaps you don't always feel it yourself. The energy in these sessions is always infectious. Thank you so much to all attendees. And especially to our guest speaker Katy Howell. Until the next one..

Last week, I took part in a panel discussion about Intersectional Realities as a leader in Tech mobile.de It was amazing to see such a diverse crowd, filled with allies and diverse leaders and talents in tech. We had an open conversation about the struggles you can face if more than one diversity dimension creates an invisible barrier for you in your career. It was great to talk with you on stage, Vlore Krug & Andrea Romero Ortega, and learn about your journeys. Some key takeaways we had: 💡 It is important to have safer spaces in your work environment; places where people who are part of minority groups can talk about their careers and challenges. 💡 We should think about our own privileges; everyone has them. This way, we can learn to change our personal perspective and perception of others. 💡 In order to create an inclusive environment for everyone at work, we have to understand that we are all within the structures of our society. We should not only focus on attracting diverse talents but also understand that how we evaluate talents needs to become more diverse as well.
