Join Eduardo Crespo, NECC alumnus and founder/CEO of Hispanic Market Solutions, for a workshop on preserving cultural identity in both life and career as part of NECC’s Hispanic Heritage Month series.

In today’s society, many students and individuals face challenges with their identity, often feeling labeled as “foreign” or “different” due to their cultural background. This experience, which Eduardo has personally encountered, can affect your emotional well-being, quality of life, and career success. The dominant culture we live or study in can influence us both positively and negatively. Having a strong set of values can help us gain a broader perspective and navigate these challenges more effectively.

Key Takeaways:

• Love and embrace who you are
• Put yourself first in your own life
• Understand your unique identity
• Align your actions with your true aspirations
• Recognize, confront, and overcome cultural or social intimidation
• Prove wrong those who attempt to limit your potential.
