Dr. Juana Bordas joins Yo today to discuss her book: The Power of Latino Leadership, Culture, Inclusion, and Contribution AHORA!
Dr. Bordas or Tia Juana, as she likes to be called, is a recognized expert in the field of multicultural leadership. She has served as advisor to Harvard’s Hispanic Journal, the Kellogg National Fellows, trustee of Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership and the International Leadership Association (ILA). She was the first Latino to receive ILA’s life-time achievement award. As a founder and Executive Director for Mi Casa Resource Center, founding president of The National Hispana Leadership Institute, and The Circle of Latina Leadership, she was commended by Latina Style Magazine for creating “a Nation of Latina Leaders.”
Here’s the 3 things remember from our episode today:
1. To be a good leader is to know yourself and you’ll need to do the work to do this.
2. Working across generations is the call of our time!
3. By 2045, Latinos will make up one in four Americans and will shape the 21st Century!
