Diversity MBA Magazine - Summer 2008 - (Page 8)

Editor's View We’re so excited to present our newly expanded list of diverse leaders in this issue! The Top 100 Diverse Corporate Executives list includes both top executives and emerging leaders of the future. The list represents an awesome assemblage of leadership acumen, experience and potential, while celebrating diversity throughout corporate America. Our own Sheryl Nash Nance spent time with six of our most outstanding nominees; their stories compliment the profiles of the remainder of our honorees. In keeping with the theme of climbing the corporate ladder, Dr. Charmon Parker Williams gives us advice on balancing work and life in the c-suite. Pat Pope offers us a look at the world of global assignments as a path to corporate advancement, sharing the experiences of executives who have been there and exposing the benefits and the pitfalls. James Owens gives those who aspire to advance in the workplace some tips on developing negotiating skills. And renowned motivational speaker Les Brown shares the secret of how to develop your own “Power Voice.” In our “Outlook for Entrepreneurs” section, contributing editor Peter Nguyen chronicles the dawning of a new age in business with his insights into the trend of social entrepreneurship. He also shares revealing experiences from former “Apprentice” contestant John Sun. Arn Bernstein recounts the story of the rise of communications entrepreneur Anita Santiago, CEO of the $30 million Anita Santiago Advertising firm in Los Angeles. Human resources expert and researcher Tom Kadala gives advice to Hispanic professionals who want to move up in their organizations - and others as well -on how to plan their careers. We explore some of the myriad and exciting aspects of Hispanic culture in our Life Styles & Culture section. We take a look at (and a listen to) American Sabor, a retrospective of Latin music. Feast your eyes on visual representations created by Latin artists in our piece on the “Drawing the Line” exhibit, recently displayed at the Avenue 50 Studio in Los Angeles. We’ll also sample some Latin-Caribbean style cuisine and take you to South America with our tour of Chile. In closing, Pastor Devin Oten shares his inspirational take on the meaning of sanctuary. Thanks for being with us. Happy reading! P atrice A. K elly Editor-In-Chief Diversity MBA Magazine CONTRIBUTORS Charmon Parker Williams, Ph.D. is an industrial psychologist and change advocate.
