2015 Diversity & Inclusion Conference & Exposition
Understanding how predeterminations impact Latinos and women, and determine the best way to engage them and accelerate their professional growth.
PowerPoints/Handouts Available

Having a solid representation of Latinos and women at higher levels of your organization presents a competitive advantage. Not only can they influence the products you offer, but they also can positively impact the way in which you reach and relate to your customers. Yet, why is it still so hard to promote women and Hispanics up the ladder? Mariela Dabbah provides you with insights and tools to quickly change things around. Explore the impact of predeterminations (old family mandates and subconscious messages) in limiting Latino and women's career aspirations, so that you can help your employees accelerate their growth. You will also receive key tactics to engage, retain and promote Latinos and women. This session will help you:

  • Understand the concept of predeterminations and their ongoing impact in people's lives and careers.
  • Understand some of the most critical predeterminations that largely affect Hispanics and women.
  • Learn tactics to help Hispanics and women overcome any predeterminations that may be interfering with career engagement and growth.
