Join me, Steve Ramona, for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Joel Pérez, a thought leader in identity and leadership. Dr. Pérez opens up about his journey as a Mexican-American and the transformative power of embracing one's own identity. Discover how understanding personal attributes like race, ethnicity, and gender can elevate leadership effectiveness and foster a culture of belonging within organizations. Through his story, Dr. Pérez illustrates how leaders can leverage their unique perspectives and past experiences to promote inclusivity and empower their teams.

Transitioning into the world of coaching, Dr. Pérez shares the birth of Apoyo Coaching and Consulting and the challenges of coaching across diverse cultures. We discuss the pivotal role of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) in enhancing cultural competence and self-awareness. Inspired by the TV show Ted Lasso, we highlight the importance of cultivating curiosity over judgment and adopting cultural humility to forge deeper connections. Listen as we reveal why a growth mindset, deep curiosity, and active listening are indispensable skills for leaders and coaches striving to bridge cultural gaps and lead with empathy.
