Overcoming Resistance on the Path to Success

Nancy Reyes started out as a kid in low-income housing who couldn't speak English. She went on to lead major advertising agencies. In this course, she shares what that journey taught her: from the challenges of assimilation and breaking systemic barriers to building executive presence and finding her voice as a leader.

Nancy covers how to overcome cultural resistance, embrace creativity and AI as tools for growth, and build a career strategy grounded in authenticity and resilience.
