Lived Experience Training
As minority professionals, our experiences and journeys often look different. We may be first-generation professionals, bilingual, multicultural, or balancing multiple responsibilities. We might encounter challenges such as lack of mentorship or the opportunity gaps.
Our unique experience calls for professional development training that understands and reflects our journeys. At Aspira Consulting, we provide programs that help professionals harness their lived experiences, embrace their uniqueness, and use vulnerability as a strength to build their career and leadership skills.
At Aspira Consulting, we provide professional development programs rooted in lived experience that help you:
Embrace Your Journey
Value Your Uniqueness
Harness Your Lived Experiences
Embrace Your Journey
Value Your Uniqueness
Harness Your Lived Experiences
As a first-generation professional, Oscar Garcia has successfully overcome career pitfalls, blended his professional
and bicultural identity, and now empowers others so that opportunities come to them.
