Latinas are among the most adversely affected by the gender pay gap, earning just 54 cents to the dollar earned by a white male, yet according to the U.S. Census they are contributing to over half of the overall U.S. population growth. For that reason, the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA), the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, the AFL-CIO, and other leading organizations are joining together on November 2, 2017 for the National Latina Equal Pay Day of Action. This day marks the day that Latina workers finally catch up to what white, non-Hispanic male workers were paid in 2016. READ MORE AT LATIN TIMES

When I was just 12 years old, I announced that I would be hula hooping as my pageant talent in the Miss Connecticut Teen pageant. (See photo) People laughed. I overheard the comment "what a joke, hula hooping isn't a talent!" No one was expecting me to be crowned 'Miss Connecticut Teen' that day, but I was! (See photo) Fast forward 20 years when I discovered the FXP Hoop Fitness Certification program, which is certified by the American Exercise Council. People laughed. They said "No way is hula hooping fitness. No one is going to come do that, why don't you try a real fitness program!?" Slowly, but surely, my FXP Hoop Fitness class has gained popularity and currently has a following of about 10 dedicated women each week.

When I applied to be America's Fit Mrs., people laughed. I was told "don't bother, they only crown real athletes, not joke ones like you." I have a feeling they stopped laughing when I was crowned America's Fit Mrs. 2016 (See photo) and went on to win America's Fit Queen 2017.

Two weeks from now, I'll be making the drive back up to Boston to attend an FXP Hoop Fitness Certification class as a refresher course. Once again, I hear the jokes "you're really going to travel 2 hours to take a hula hoop class?!" Yes, and I'm going to be a better instructor because of it!

With the holidays and new year approaching, it will soon be the season people pause to reflect on their life, and evaluate their personal and professional goals. After a year of dissatisfaction in their work, this is the time of year people resolve to do something about it, whether it is to stay the course with a particular job or a particular company, or to move to a different company, or embark on a new career path. READ MORE AT FORBES

Miscommunication, conflict, assumptions, errors, mistakes, ineffective decisions and a loss of team cohesion: What do all of these organizational issues have in common? All are the result, at least in part, of poor listening.

It's often said that we have two ears but only one mouth.  Therefore, we should listen twice as much as we speak. Yet, while effective listening is a highly valued skill in the workplace, many of us find that task difficult to master. READ MORE AT ENTREPRENEUR

On Friday, October 20, The Financial Services Pipeline (FSP) hosted more than 100 leaders from Chicago’s top financial services firms at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago for its 4th Annual FSP Summit.  The event addressed the need to increase the representation of African Americans and Latinos in the financial services industry.

This year’s theme was Advancing Cultural Transformation. The Summit was led by the organization’s CEO Leadership Council Co-Chairs: John W. Rogers, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Ariel Investments, Matt Feldman, President and CEO of Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago and Dr. Helene Gayle, President and CEO of the Chicago Community Trust.

Andrés Tapia, Senior Client Partner and Global Diversity & Inclusion Solutions Leader for Korn Ferry, delivered the keynote address. Attendees were engaged in the conversation as Tapia stressed the importance of cultural competency as a leading factor to continue increasing racial diversity within the sector.

New research that debuted at the FSP Summit shows that if no changes are made to hiring and retention processes within the next few years, the number of African-American and Latino talent will remain stagnant. Additional research updates showcased:

• Promotion: Consistently lower promotion rates for African-American and Latino talent since 2014

• Hiring: African-American and Latino talent are being hired at greater rates since last surveyed in 2014

• Retention: The gap in attrition rates has narrowed, but rates remain higher for African-American and Latino talent

  • Note: 2017 Research report available upon request.

Events like the FSP Summit and the organization’s annual Intern Career Conference look to engage more institutions and industry leaders to continue thinking strategically as they strive to increase racial diversity within their organizations.

On the surface, Latino and Hispanic students don’t seem to be suffering as much from the U.S. student debt crisis. Only 22 percent of Hispanic households carry student loan debt, compared to 42 percent and 40 percent of white households and black households, respectively.

But the bad news is that the low debt level is mostly because fewer Hispanics are attending college, according to the Pew Research Center. (And many of those who do are more likely to attend less expensive community colleges.)

There is good news, however. You can avoid a heavy debt load while achieving your dream of a college education and the higher earnings that can come with it, thanks to a long list of scholarships specifically for Latino and Hispanic students. READ MORE AT STUDENT LOAN HERO
