Latina Leaders Must Dive-In, Not Just Lean-In

The dive-in-principle is not about being overly aggressive or focused on self-promotion.

It’s more the opposite. Diving-in is when you know that each decision you make towards being your most authentic self can potentially be that defining moment in your career that propels you forward as you reach for success and significance. Diving-in is about trusting yourself enough and making that conscious choice to enable your most natural skills and characteristics to build momentum for your personal brand.

Mastery of the dive-in principle helps you avoid the traps of workplace politics, complacency and fear – as you learn to channel your awareness, instincts and natural capabilities to most effectively see, sow, grow and share the opportunities before you. The best Latina leaders are opportunity experts who take action to seize the opportunities that are right in front of them. Unfortunately, opportunities seen are not always sown because we spend too much time doubting ourselves, searching for validation and/or lack the confidence to be accountable -- thus losing momentum and valuable time in the process.

When you don’t dive in, others will try to force their ways of thinking upon you and this is when your personal brand becomes most vulnerable to risk or failure. When you learn how to dive-in you gain a clear line of sight that enables you to influence growth, innovation and opportunities – because you can now see “beyond the obvious” and beneath and around workplace conversations and other employee engagement dynamics. You are now in a powerful position to develop and live your personal brand at full strength.

When you dive-in, it’s a commitment to self-discovery – a journey of defining yourself as a leader and how this will shape the manner in which you will serve others by consistently elevating your natural skill sets, capabilities, and industry know-how. When you dive-in, you are not only doing it for your own advancement but equally for the betterment of others – employees, clients, industry, board members, community, etc.

Diving-in is not about self-promotion – but about how you consciously and strategically manage your personal brand as a leader and as a great role model, mentor, and “platform” that both women and men can depend upon.
