?? Embracing My Heritage as a Secret Superpower! ??

As a leader, I've come to appreciate the incredible impact that diversity can have on a team's dynamics and overall success. Today, I want to celebrate my Latino heritage and share how it has become my secret superpower, enriching my professional journey in unique ways. ????

?? Change the Energy in the Room:?At the 2023 HITEC Spring Summit, Tiago Spritzer said, "Change the frequency in the room when you walk in." Latinos have a vibrant and contagious energy that transforms any environment. Our passion and enthusiasm uplift those around us, creating a positive and motivating atmosphere. We infuse teams with renewed creativity and drive by bringing our cultural richness to the table.

?? Loyalty that Knows No Bounds:?Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the deep sense of loyalty that runs through the veins of my Latino community. We all have that friend who will back you up and support you, even if he doesn't fully understand what you are talking about. We all need those in our corner who will do anything possible to ensure success once the debate ends and the time to execute is at hand.

?? Hard Work as a Core Value:?The number one piece of advice I've received from senior executives is "kill it at your day job." No matter what you do, if you are mediocre at your job, you are likely not getting that next opportunity. Latinos are known for their incredible work ethic, which is deeply ingrained in our culture. We understand the value of putting in the effort and going the extra mile to achieve our goals.
