CULTURALLY RELEVANT
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Lived Experience Training

As minority professionals, our experiences and challenges are different; we are first-generation, bicultural, or multiracial.  We encounter the glass ceiling, lack of mentorship, bias, the opportunity gap, and many other obstacles.  

Our unique experience requires a professional development program that understands, feels, and lives our journey.  At Aspira Consulting, we provide lived experience training to help Latino professionals harness their cultural wealth, embrace their journey, and share their vulnerability to grow their influence and leadership skills.

At Aspira Consulting, we provide culturally relevant professional development programs that help us:

  1. Embrace Our Journey
  2. Value Our Identity
  3. Harness our cultural wealth

As a first-generation professional, Oscar Garcia has successfully overcome career pitfalls, blended his professional and bicultural identity, and today empowers you, so opportunities come to you.
