Leadership Fundamentals for Latinas
Latinas working in the United States and Canada face a wide range of stereotypes at work—whether it’s being typecast as foreigners, or being perceived as less educated and less ambitious. This playlist addresses some of the most common biases Latina women face, as well as research-backed, actionable steps you can take to combat them. Start a Lean In Circle and bring together a group of women to work through the topics in this playlist together and practice what you learn. Each video is accompanied by a guide specific to the experiences of Latina women. The guide helps you discuss with your peers how best to navigate these challenges and thrive at work.

Being the only woman in a workplace dominated by men can be isolating. But it also makes you a trailblazer, paving the way for more women like you. In this video, we discuss how seeking support from allies, pushing back against microaggressions, and connecting with other women can help create a positive and inclusive environment, leading to a happier and more fulfilling work experience.
Each playlist is 7-to-9 months of curated content for women with shared experiences, career stages, or skill-building goals. We provide a kickoff guide to set the stage for your first Circle meeting, custom discussion guides for each video, and a Looking Back and Next Steps Guide after you complete the playlist (which is coming soon).
