Have you ever tried to execute a strategy that required people to change? How did that go for you? In the latest episode of How to NOT Execute Your Strategy, I interviewed Dr. Emilio Herrera Molina to learn his best practices for getting your teams to buy into changing how they work to execute your strategy. As the Chief Health Officer for a multinational healthcare group, he knows exactly what he is talking about. Listen to this conversation now.

Lean In released its 2024 State of Latinas in Corporate America report. You’ve probably seen a number of posts highlighting key findings like: 🔹Only 1% of C-Suite executives are Latina 🔹Between entry level and the c-suite, while white men’s representation increases by 64% percent, Latinas’ representation decreases by 78%, the most of any group 🔹Latinas in the U.S. experience the widest pay gap 🔹Lack of support, performance bias and affinity bias hinder the advancement of Latinas Here’s what we know: Corporations have this information and they know the data for their own organizations. They measure what matters and if this matters, they are measuring it. They know where the issues are. But information means nothing without action. To the organizations taking action and getting results, keep it up. To those who are still “trying”, hold yourselves accountable for tangible results and start to move the needle for your organization. 🔊🔊And my fellow Latinas, we have some unlearning to do. Our ambitions can go unrecognized because of many factors, some of which are within our control. These beliefs —-keep your head down and get it done, work harder and harder to prove your value, be humble, be loyal, be grateful for opportunities — are beliefs we internalized as kids and into our careers. They are powerful beliefs that have made you successful….until they start hindering your success. Yes, it can be both. We need to understand the difference, shift our own beliefs, and start changing how we show up at work. This is the self-agency we have. We don’t want to be the ones leaving anything on the table. You get decide what you’re willing to do now to change your mindset, how you show up and show out, and how you’re going to go after what you want. 👏🏽You have power here too👏🏽 Let’s help you exercise it. Latina Professionals® Hispanic Executive #latinaprofessionals —- I’m speaking on this topic for Latinx Heritage Month September 15-October 15. It is also a major part of my upcoming book Your Time to Rise: Unlearn Limiting Beliefs, Unlock Your Power, Unleash Your Truest Self to be released January 14, 2025. I wrote this book specifically for high-achieving women of color, including my fellow first gen Latinas. 👉🏽Message me to connect on having me speak at your organization.

In my book, The Culture Driven Organization (https://a.co/d/0i7LSXRo), I share the “secret recipe” of how leaders can create their desired organizational culture. The first step is to define what I call “Philosophy”. Below is an excerpt from the book. As we celebrate the United States’ Independence Day tomorrow, let’s reflect on how the Framers started the journey to their desired culture with the Declaration of Independence.  This profound document embodies the enduring Philosophy upon which the United States was created. Happy 4th of July! “To lay the groundwork for the desired culture, the initial step involves choosing a Philosophy that serves as the driving force of that culture. An alternative term for Philosophy is mindset. No matter which term you use, this element is the soul of culture. And similar to the human soul, this Philosophy may not be visible, yet it defines the essence and breathes life into the organizational body.  PHILOSOPHY IS THE SOUL OF CULTURE” Cultivate Culture LLC #leadership #workplacewellness #employeeexperience  #culture  #workplaceculture  #cultureatwork  #corporateculture  #theculturebuilders #culturematters

Do you have a written agreement with your business partners? Is it customized to your business? Or is it a cookie cutter template? The problem with so many boilerplate templates is they fail to address key areas with enough specificity to help the business avoid disputes later on. Many templates fail to address some of these key areas at all. How to value the business and a business owner's shares in the business is a common area where templates often come up lacking.

People first or profits first? Gotta prioritize, right? Yes we need priorities. sometimes, priorities conflict. Not these. Even in a world with AI, we are still achieving profitability through people. If you're doing it right, it's not necessary to prioritize one over the other. #NHRMA
