Hispanic Strategy Consulting
Our differentiation lies in our depth of understanding of both the U.S. and Hispanic cultures—as well as the Spanish language—and their interplay on construction projects.
This allows us to offer unique perspectives on your challenges and to creatively develop actionable solutions with measurable results.

Leadership, Simplified.
Your ability to lead is shaped by two things: what you say and what you do. That’s it.
Your awareness of culture will drive your leadership behavior—what you do. Your awareness of language will drive what you say. However, culture will inform what you say and language will inform what you do. Language and culture influence and inform each other.
When combined, you will be able to more effectively establish trust—the foundation of leadership and meaningful relationships. Once you’ve established trust, achieving your goals of improving productivity, retention, and safety (or any combination of these) becomes more realistic. Only after you’ve established trust can you begin to think about going from good to excelente.
Let’s collaborate.
If interested in collaborating, contact our team here and share your specific goals, outcomes, and challenges. That will help us determine if we're a fit for a potential engagement. In the event we are not a fit, we'll do whatever we can to find you a better consulting partner.
