DENVER/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Latino Leadership Institute (LLI) announced the launch of Ignite. Designed by Latino leaders for Latino professionals, Ignite is the only Latino leadership development program in the country that combines the unique professional journey of Latinos with a transformative neuroscience-based approach to solving problems in the workplace. Ignite provides technical and social capital to help Latino professionals overcome barriers and challenges to fully realize their leadership potential. Registration for upcoming Fall 2022 programs is now open at: https://latinoslead.org/ignite/

The Latino Leadership Institute advances Latinos to positions of influence through cross-sector leadership development, entrepreneurship support, and the activation of our national Latino professional network to build power, drive change, and generate wealth. Learn more at Latinoslead.org

“We train leaders for advancement and success by preparing them to bring their full value, talents and confidence as Latinos. Ignite is based on years of experience and research with Latino leaders and includes the barriers we face and the leadership strategies we can use to overcome them. Ignite strengthens social capital among participants by providing them with opportunities to connect with other Latinos who can relate to their experiences,” said Joelle Martinez, president and CEO of the Latino Leadership Institute. “Ignite is a game changer for the Latino community because it opens access to transformational leadership development for Latinos across the country and in all sectors.”

Latinos make up nearly 20% of the workforce, but only 4% of all executive leadership positions, because Latino professionals face unique barriers and challenges in the workplace. According to the Harvard Business Review, 60% of Latino professionals ages 18-34 believe they have been intentionally ignored or passed over for career advancement opportunities, and 76% of them report repressing or hiding part of their identity and culture because they believe that it will help them to progress in their careers.

“I have participated in several leadership programs, but none as rewarding as Ignite. This was the first time that my cultural identity was a primary factor. Too often I have felt invisible as a Latino professional, but now I feel included, respected and valued “, commented Mark Delgado, manager of Relations of National Accounts of Lumen.

National companies already offer Ignite to their Latino employees. Currently, the program is available to both organizations and individuals. For more information, visit the website here. Registration is now open.
