Next Gen Leadership

On this week's episode of The Behaviorist, Work Wisdom's Jaime Arroyo sits down with Leo Silva, Associate Director of Attollo, a rigorous college access and leadership program for underserved high schoolers. As a young leader in the organization, Attollo (Latin for "Rise Up") has served over 341 scholars in 7 school districts. 98% of Attollo Scholars are accepted to and attend a college or university. But Leo's story is more than these numbers. As a young child, his parents immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic, and he came to this country with a language barrier and the odds stacked against him. Despite all this, Leo has succeeded beyond his expectations of himself and is now pursuing his Master's degree in School Leadership with a focus on Educational Entrepreneurship from Harvard University. Leo is both an extraordinary mentor and a student. Learn how much resilience plays a role in nurturing young leaders and what non-traditional professional development methods can help you foster the next generation of brilliant minds.
