Authenticity Matters: Building Your Career on a Genuine Foundation

While Latinos make up 19% of the U.S. population, only 4% hold executive positions, and just 1% of those are Latinas—figures that are even lower in the tech industry. This disparity is often due to the burnout that entry-level and mid-career Latino professionals experience. In this keynote, Dr. Ana María combines storytelling with research-backed tools to shed light on why this dissonance is so prevalent among Latinos and how it impacts our well-being and success. Dr. Ana María will inspire attendees to take meaningful steps toward alignment in our careers and lives. This talk is great for Latinos AND Allies.
