Lead Before The Moment Demands It
Most leaders reach for the tools when the crisis is already underway. Daisy Auger-Domínguez draws on two decades of leading through transformation at Google, Disney, VICE, and inside a scaling fintech to show why waiting is a strategy that costs more than it saves. She gives senior leaders a practical, emotionally grounded framework for staying clear and human under pressure, covering real-time reset practices, sustainable recovery rhythms, and the language that keeps a team steady when there are no clean answers.
Daisy Auger-Domínguez addresses the challenges of burnout and disengagement in today's demanding work environment. She provides practical strategies for leaders and teams to recharge, reconnect, and manage their energy effectively. Attendees will learn to recognize early signs of burnout, shift focus from time management to energy management, and cultivate a supportive culture that empowers individuals. This session is essential for managers and organizations aiming to foster resilience and wellbeing.
Inclusion Is A Practice, Not A Program
The gap between an organization's inclusion commitments and its day-to-day decisions, in hiring, promotions, and who gets the high-visibility project, is not a culture problem; it's a design problem. Daisy Auger-Domínguez brings two decades of building equitable organizations from the inside, at Google, Disney, Moody's, and VICE, to show where inclusion breaks down and how to fix it. Leaders leave with a clear framework for embedding fairness into everyday decisions, practical audit tools, and a concrete path from intention to measurable change.
Latino employees represent one of the fastest-growing segments of the workforce and one of the most underrepresented in leadership, a gap Daisy Auger-Domínguez has studied, lived, and spent her career working to close. As a Dominican and Puerto Rican woman who has led people strategy at some of the world's most recognized companies, she challenges organizations to move beyond heritage month programming toward the structural changes that create real advancement pathways, sponsorship opportunities, and a culture of belonging that does not ask people to leave parts of themselves at the door.
