On today's episode, we're jumping right into one of Dr. Jasmine's fave topics: impostor syndrome.
Impostor syndrome is a layered and complex issue that women of color frequently face in their workplaces. It stops them from showcasing their special sauce while preventing them from leveling up in their career.
Join us as we learn from guest Alejandra Hernandez, a first-gen Latina on a mission to empower Latina professionals to build confidence, overcome impostor syndrome and thrive in leadership roles.
She pivoted into career coaching in 2019 and since then has helped women increase their salary by 35%, break into their first Director level role, quit toxic jobs, advocate for themselves, and feel confident as leaders at work. She's hosted workshops for PowerToFly, WeAllGrow Latina, and more.
Her vision is for a world where women are heard, empowered, uplifted, and safe to contribute their magic to the world. She graduated from the University of Maryland with a bachelor's in Sociology and lives in Miami with her fiancé and dog.
