NSHMBA National Conference 2011 & Executive Coaching
We at NEGRON Consulting want to thank and send our congratulations to the NSHMBA national team for organizing and executing an amazing National Conference for the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) in Anaheim, CA from October 13th to 15th.
It was a great honor for several members of the NEGRON Consulting team to contribute to the Executive Coaching program (learn more about the offering: HERE) as part of the Executive Forum. We appreciate being around such wonderful talent and part of such a rewarding experience for both the participants and the coaches.

Earlier this year, via the The Octagon COACHING Model group on LinkedIn, we posed the question, “When would you work with an executive coach?” There are a variety of reasons or drivers for an individual to work with an Executive Coach.
Psychology Today published an article titled, “Do You Need a Career Coach?“ The great value is in the 10 tips for finding and working with a coach, as we all struggle to find a comfortable position of trust with a person with whom we will deeply confide in.
3rd Annual Hispanic Leadership Day
Emotional Intelligence & Diversity
I recently conducted a workshop at GE's Corporate Headquarters in Fairfield, CT as part of GE's 3rd Annual Hispanic Leadership Day. NSHMBA (National Society of Hispanic MBAs), ALFPA (Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting), and SHPE (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers) teamed up for an evening of personal development hosted by General Electric's Hispanic Forum.
Following welcome remarks and a panel discussion, I conducted an Emotional Intelligence (EI) & Diversity workshop. It was a wonderful experience being able to introduce and engage students from Yale University, interns from UConn, and both entry-level and experienced professionals on the value of Emotional Intelligence & Diversity in our current and future workplace landscape.
Dr. Daniel Goleman is a co-chairman of The Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations, based in the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University, which recommends best practices for developing emotional intelligence abilities, and promotes rigorous research on the contribution of emotional intelligence to workplace effectiveness.
"We tend to think of empathy as a uniquely human trait. But it’s something apes and other animals demonstrate as well, says primatologist Frans de Waal. He shows how our evolutionary history suggests a deep-rooted propensity for feeling the emotions of others."
