We've known Maria for a long time and have been absolutely blown away by the responsibility she carries and how she displays genuine servant leadership. In addition to running her own success business, MIM Community Solutions, she's played a critical role in founder CEL Harrisonburg-Rockingham Latino Business Council (serving as the organization's first president).

In this episode, we'll talk with Maria about how she's actively engaged in applying "The Values Advantage" and how that ties directly with CEL's Juntos Avanzamos (Together We Advance) launch event.

Her compassion coupled with a drive for excellence is key in how they live our their core values together.

A Simple Foundation for Immediate Results:

You don't need to look all that hard to find studies showing how developing our Emotional Intelligence, or EQ, can impact our effectiveness in so many situations. The challenge so many run into is finding a simple way to take action on any single resource touted as the holy grail for building our Emotional Intelligence. In his book Emotional Intelligence, 2.0, Travis Bradberry shares that "Your EQ is the foundation for a host of critical skills. EQ is so critical to success that it accounts for 59 percent of performance in all types of jobs."

The issue become knowing exactly how to develop that ever-illusive EQ... We don't do complicated and we don't do pie-in-the-sky... What you can count on from us is a practical approach for applying simple steps, based on real-world experience, that yields a tangible return on investment! We help individuals and teams under the science known as the DISC Model of Human Behavior to enhance your skills in each of the four components of Emotional Intelligence; Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management.

In recent episodes of The Leading At The Next Level podcast, we've worked to provide an overview of what participants can expect from The 2025 Executive Summit and to provide practical steps anyone else listening in can take to lay a foundation with values, build a culture around values, and create a legacy through values.

My newest book - "The Values Advantage" - is scheduled to be released in early 2026 and ties right in with that theme. Broken down into several segments, this book will outline a case for values-driven leadership, practical applications for building a values-based culture, and provide a detailed framework for ensuring your core values have a lasting impact. I'm also working with business owners and executives across all segments of our economy to create an closing chapter with "Real-World Examples" for why values are critical in EVERY organization.
