Description

🎙️The podcast is back after a hiatus and we're kicking things off with someone incredibly special. 💫
My first official coach in 2021, powerhouse leader Luz, returns to the show! She’s no stranger to our community and I was thrilled when Luz reached out to join me again.

I had the incredible opportunity to be her student through the ARCH Leadership Program, which played a major role in shaping the initiatives I’ve taken on to this day. In fact, Luz was one of the individuals I turned to for feedback when launching the podcast—something I’m forever grateful for.

Luz Canino-Baker is a seasoned business leader with a 28-year career in banking . 
After 28 years climbing the corporate ladder in a male-dominated industry, Luz, used her experience to build Latinas on the Plaza, a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring women of color so they can rise faster and stronger in corporate spaces.

Luz has a passion for seeing everyone perform at their potential. She is certified in Myers Briggs, Insights Discovery, and Emotional Intelligence self-assessment programs. She is a certified coach by the International Coaching Federation. Her first book Designing Your Life Plan was published in the winter of 2013. She is also an author in the Today’s Inspired Latina book series.

Her work is exceptional and need in our communities. Here is why:

💼 If you’re a Latina, a woman, and a mom, the odds are often stacked against you.
•    Only 1 in 4 C-suite leaders are women—and just 1 in 20 are women of color.
•    Latinas earn only 54 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men.
•    Moms can lose up to 40% of their lifetime earnings due to the motherhood penalty.
•    Women lose on average $16,000 per year after having a child—and this gap grows with each additional child.
•    42% of working moms report that caregiving has negatively impacted their career growth.

The barriers are real. But so are our power, resilience, and potential. 🌱
This episode is all about : resilience, leadership, and how we still rise—especially when we have mentors, coaches, and a community who see us.

Tune in for wisdom, real talk, and a reminder that your story isn’t over because the odds are against you—it’s just beginning.

Also listen to upcoming events in the Chicagoland area and also opportunities online.
