Alguna vez ha intentado hacer precipitadamente su trabajo porque tenía un plazo apremiante, sólo para darse cuenta más tarde de que el producto o servicio que usted entrego tuvo varios errores? O quizás hayas tenido una experiencia mientras conducia donde los otros conductores en la carretera se mueven a un ritmo de "tortuga", por lo que se traslado a un carril diferente - sólo para ser frenados por mas conductores lentos. Este tipo de cosas suceden cada día de nuestras vidas, tanto en nuestra empresa o en nuestras rutinas diarias. Puede ser fácil frustrarse cuando suceden estas cosas, pero hay una cosa fundamental que debe recordar - sólo puede ir tan rápido como su miembro más lento. Entonces, cómo podemos identificar a los miembros más lentos en nuestro equipo, empresa u organización y qué podemos hacer para cambiar las cosas para que todos puedan trabajar un poco más rápido? Hoy, vamos a hablar acerca de eso, y por eso es tan importante que no sólo identifiquen los que se mueven lento, pero también compre

It's that time of year again! Time to think about what happened in the previous year and look ahead to the new year. Time to make resolutions and plan how to accomplish those goals to improve our lives, our relationships, our health, and our businesses or careers. Statistics show that 45% of Americans make New Year's resolutions each year – but only 8% of those who make resolutions are successful in accomplishing them. Making a resolution is just setting your intentions for the upcoming year, but where do you go from there? How do you get from setting the intention to accomplishing the goal? How do you turn your resolution into a real solution? Today, I'm going to share with you the 6 steps it takes to make your 2017 intentions become accomplished resolutions.   Customs become law. Commitment is critical to making positive changes.   On Today's Episode of the Latina Leadership Podcast: If you are not committed to making a change – it's not a sustainable resolution; Problems are learned behaviors.

How would you like to increase your net worth? What would it take to increase your net worth over the next year? On today's episode, I am going to talk about building your net worth and how networking can help you achieve your financial goals in 2017. Networking is a critical part of growing any business. It allows you to reach new audiences, build relationships, gain referrals, and so much more! But how can the power of networking impact your net worth and help you generate the financial freedom you deserve? Let's dive in!   "When it comes to networking, the fortune is in the follow-up."   On Today's Episode of the Latina Leadership Podcast: Building and cultivating relationships help you expand your network. It's true: Networking isn't about how many business cards you can collect. It's about making connections and building relationships. Latinas are social butterflies which makes them natural When you begin to look at networking as relationship building, you begin to create trust. People will bu

Can you believe that the Latina Leadership Podcast is two weeks old?! I am so thrilled with the response and feedback you have shared with us – and encourage you to keep sending your questions, comments, and feedback! Today's episode is our second installment of the Ask Isaura Anything series, and this week I'm diving deep into the questions you – my amazing Latina's in leadership listeners – have submitted regarding the last few episodes of the show. I'm going to talk specifically on the questions you have about being a servant leader, giving feedback, and the ability to only move as fast as your slowest team member as well as what to do to help that team member speed up in the workplace. So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let's dive in!   By putting tasks on an individual that is beyond their scope or capacity, the work environment doesn't allow that person's true potential to shine through."   On Today's Episode of the Latina Leadership Podcast: When you can be of service, you must provide

Have you ever received glowing feedback that was sprinkled with a touch of negativity? Perhaps someone loved an article you published, but they felt there was still room for improvement. What about receiving feedback that feels more judgmental than it does constructive? How can you improve your ability to give feedback to others in a way that is non-judgmental and well thought-out? It's important to realize that feedback is crucial to our everyday life, business, and interactions. It is as essential as air and water; without it – it is impossible to learn, grow, and improve our skills, and it's not always meant to be critical or insulting. When you change your mindset around how you give and interpret feedback, you pave the path to improving your leadership skills, advancing in your career, and growing your business or organization. On today's episode, we're going to discuss some of the "best practices" for giving and receiving feedback and how you can learn to improve your leadership skills through providing

What does the phrase "servant leader" mean to you? Do you instantly think of the hospitality tasks? Perhaps jobs working in hotels, housecleaning, or various "home" responsibilities? As leaders, we often find ourselves asking the question: "How may I serve you?" And as Latinas, serving is a major part of our culture! But what does it really mean to be a servant leader and how can you become a better servant leader without burning yourself out? On today's episode, I'm going to explain exactly what a servant leadership role is, what it isn't, and how you can improve your natural ability to serve in your leadership role.   Servant leadership isn't about the need to serve others – it's about the characteristics that a person or organization embodies.   On Today's Episode of the Latina Leadership Podcast: Your attitude toward serving other people directly influences the way you market and sell your services. A large majority of Latinas have roles as servant leaders. What is the difference between being

Have you ever tried rushing through your work because you had a pressing deadline, only to realize later that the product or service you delivered had several mistakes? Or perhaps you've had an experience while driving where the other drivers on the road were moving at a "turtle's pace," so you moved into a different lane – only to be slowed down by more slow drivers. These types of things happen every day of our lives, whether in our business or in our daily routines. It can be easy to become frustrated when these things happen, but there's one critical thing you must remember – you can only go as fast as your slowest member. So, what how do we identify the slowest members in our team, business, or organization and what can we do to change things so that everyone can work a little faster? Today, we're going to talk about that, and why it is so important that you not only identify the slow-movers, but you also understand why things are moving slowly for them and learn ways to course correct or change their en

Welcome back to the Latina Leadership Podcast – the ONLY podcast designed specifically to empower the Latina community! In a previous episode, I discussed a term called emotional intelligence – and the feedback, response, and questions we received about this topic was phenomenal! Today, I'm going to dive a little deeper into the topic to help you fully understand the difference between IQ and EQ and how our IQ impacts our emotional intelligence.   "You want to use your emotional intelligence to shift one critical component – you."   On Today's Episode of the Latina Leadership Podcast: Many people consider IQ as an evaluation of how smart we are. In reality, there is a lot more than that. I explain why things seem more complicated when there is an imbalance between your IQ and EQ. When you can control your emotions, you can execute things at a higher level. When your emotions take over – your IQ temporarily drops by as much as 15 points! Balancing your cognitive ability – your IQ – and your emotions

Have you ever had days where things just didn't seem to go right no matter what you do? Maybe a day when you woke up late for work, and because you were late for work, it threw the rest of your day off-kilter. We all have days like this. In fact, just this week I had a day exactly like this – the kids were running late for school, then I lost (and found) my phone, and it just seemed like nothing would go right on the first try. Days like these are frustrating, annoying, and just make you want to go back to bed, throw the covers over your head and sleep the day away. So what can we do to avoid days like this – or at least minimize their frequency? How can we cope in the moment when these days do happen? What skills, strategies, and techniques can you implement in your daily life that will not only improve the quality of your life, but also make you a better Latina business leader? On today's episode, I'm going to share with you the five little – yet powerful – words that I use to help me get through these ruts

Bienvenido al Latina Leadership Podcast – El UNICO podcast para Latinas lideres en negocios. Ha tenido días donde las cosas simplemente no parece que vaya correctamente, no importa lo que haga?

Have you ever heard of the phrase 'emotional intelligence'? Do you know what it is, what it really means to be emotionally intelligent, and how to achieve a high level of it? In today's society, many of us are seeking to change other people – change our surroundings, the way people interact with us. I'm frequently asked "How can I change my husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend? What do I need to do for them to be different?" But do you know what I've come to realize? What people are truly asking with this question? They don't necessarily want to change the other person, but what they really talking about is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is more than a catch phrase. It's not just about emotions and controlling your emotions – although that's part of it. On today's episode, I'm talking about the true meaning behind the phrase 'emotional intelligence', the four components involved, and how you can maximize your emotional intelligence to reach your true leadership potential.   "The defini

Bienvenido al Latina Leadership Podcast – El UNICO podcast para Latinas lideres en negocios. ¿Alguna vez has oído hablar de la expresión "inteligencia emocional"? ¿Sabes qué es lo que realmente significa ser emocionalmente inteligente, y cómo lograr un alto nivel de él? En la sociedad de hoy en día, muchos de nosotros estamos tratando de cambiar a otras personas - cambiar nuestro entorno, la manera en que las personas interactúan con nosotros. Frecuentemente me hacen estas preguntas "¿Cómo puedo cambiar mi esposo, esposa, novio o novia? ¿Qué tengo que hacer para ser diferente?" Pero, ¿sabe usted lo que me he percatado? Lo que la gente está realmente pidiendo con esta pregunta? No necesariamente quieren cambiar a la otra persona, pero de lo que realmente estan hablando es de la inteligencia emocional.

Have you ever been in the position where you need to make a decision on something and find yourself taking into consideration what other people want, need, or what you think would be good for them? Of course, you have. In fact, I would bet that most of us have. But have you ever stopped to think about when the last time was that you made a decision based on yourself – your needs, your wants, and what's good for you? Let me guess – it's been a while, right? Today, I want to talk to you about what leadership qualities are and exactly where those qualities come from. How can taking care of yourself and considering your wants, needs, and desires make you a better leader?   Leadership starts from within.   On Today's Episode of Latina Leadership Podcast: Latinas consistently struggle to connect with who they really are – natural born leaders.

¿Alguna vez has estado en la posición donde usted necesita tomar una decisión sobre algo y encuentras tomando en consideración lo que otras personas quieren, necesitan, o lo que usted piensa que sería bueno para ellos? Por supuesto, usted lo hizo. De hecho, yo podría apostar que la mayoría de nosotros lo hacemos. Pero alguna vez te has detenido a pensar acerca de cuándo fue la última vez que usted tomó una decisión basada en sí mismo, sus necesidades, sus deseos, y lo que es bueno para usted? Déjenme adivinar: hace un rato, ¿verdad? Hoy, quiero hablar con usted acerca de cuáles son las cualidades de liderazgo y exactamente donde esas cualidades vienen. ¿Cómo puede cuidarse a sí mismo y considerando sus deseos, necesidades y deseos te hacen un mejor líder?   El liderazgo empieza de adentro.   En el episodio de hoy del Liderazgo de Latinas Podcast: latinas luchan constantemente para conectarse con lo que realmente son – lideres nacidos naturalmente.

Welcome back to the Latina Leadership Podcast – the only podcast dedicated to helping passionate Latina women like you, empowering you to unleash the sleeping giant within, unlock your potential, and become the financially-free female powerhouse you deserve! On today's episode, I'm talking about expectations and how setting high expectations for yourself can significantly impact – not only your business – but also your life, your family, and your relationships with others. As Latinas, we often have more expectations placed on us than the average person, and in reality, it can be hard to live up to all of them. So how do you free yourself from these chains?   "As hard as it is – sometimes it's okay to break out of your expectations."   On Today's Episode of Latina Leadership Podcast: What feelings, emotions, and beliefs expectations often produce when they are not met. Why it is important to understand the three different expectation levels. Why it is important to recognize the difference between re
