1) Unlocking the Power of Executive Presence: What It Is and Why It Matters
By 2045, Latinos will represent one in four Americans and are projected to account for 78% of new entries into the labor force over the next decade. This demographic shift underscores the vital role Latinos will play in shaping the 21st century. Now more than ever, it’s essential to recognize, embrace, and command our worth.
Join Rosario Sanchez-Ledesma, LIFECAMP Co-Founder, for an impactful session designed to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools to enhance your communication, self-confidence, and presence in the workplace. Honing these skills will advance your ability to inspire, influence, and lead effectively!
In this workshop you will discover the powerful intersections of executive presence, professional branding, connection, and mindset—key elements for asserting your value in both professional and personal spaces.
What will you gain from this session? Strategies to deliver exponential value by enhancing your presence, communication, and relationship-building skills, techniques to build an “ultra” version of yourself as a confident leader, and tools to set intentional goals for growth and development.

We are so excited to announce Sandra Velasquez as our keynote speaker for this year's Fall Summit. Velasquez is the Chicana founder of Nopalera, a modern Mexican beauty & lifestyle brand. Velasquez launched Nopalera in the middle of the pandemic from her Brooklyn apartment with no outside funding or savings while working three jobs and raising her daughter. Today, the brand can be found in Nordstrom, Credo, and over 400 boutiques nationwide.
She is the winner of five grants and has completed six accelerators including the Morgan Stanley Inclusive Ventures Lab and the Stanford Latino Business Accelerator. She was one of nine finalists selected globally for the inaugural Business of Beauty Global Awards hosted by the Business of Fashion. In January 2023 she appeared on Shark Tank Season 14 where she infamously turned down two offers by standing in her worth.
Sandra is the host of The Nopalera Podcast and a frequent keynote speaker. Prior to launching Nopalera, Velasquez was the leader of the Latin Alternative band Pistolera, which toured internationally, released three studio albums, and had its music featured on hit TV shows like Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert.
