Deborah Rosado Shaw
Transformational Leader, Trusted Advisor; Trailblazing Entrepreneur
Biography
Today’s challenge for many organizations is about transformational leadership. Do your leaders have the capacity to help people see beyond what limits them, to help them see beyond their current constraints in a way where they are paving a path for their best level of performance? This is an entirely new area of prowess that Fortune 50 Trusted Advisor and former SVP, Chief of Global Diversity & Engagement officer at PepsiCo Deborah Rosado Shaw calls the New Realm of Mastery. This new level of leadership is about addressing people’s commitments, their goals and what they value most in their own lives in a way that helps transform them into self-starters, risk takers and people who know how to find their voice and path even in the most challenging times. As Deb shares with global leadership audiences, the best leaders help people learn how to motivate themselves in times of uncertainty and challenge. Deb helps leaders and organizations elevate to new heights by sharing the strategies of the New Realm of Mastery, which former Chairman of PepsiCo Indra Nooyi praised as follows, “Deborah is a leading and powerful voice who founded PepsiCo’s transformational leadership program and took our company-wide conversation about diversity from one focused on inclusion to a broader dialogue about the engagement of all employees with each other and with the diverse world around us.” Deb is a Fortune 50 Senior Executive who served as PepsiCo's SVP, Chief Global Diversity & Engagement, where she was responsible for driving innovation and optimizing high-performance teams by leveraging the diverse strengths, backgrounds, and perspectives of 260,000 associates operating in 200 countries and territories. She has also served as a trusted advisor to some of the world’s best companies and organizations seeking to thrive in the ever-growing complexity of culture, diversity, talent engagement, and leadership. This includes having served the World Bank Group as an external diversity expert and being appointed to the NWBC (National Women's Business Council) non-partisan advisors to the President, Congress and the SBA on women's economic issues. Deb is also an award-winning entrepreneur. Before establishing the Rosado Shaw Group, LLC. in 2004, Deborah started, grew, and sold a multimillion-dollar international merchandising company with customers that included Costco, Walmart, and The Walt Disney Company. And a Mom of Five, Deb has traveled a long road from her early life in the poorest congressional district in the U.S. where gangs ruled the street corners and everyday heat, hot water, and well-fitting shoes seemed a pipedream away. This trajectory has been featured in textbook case studies and multiple media outlets, including USA Today, Forbes, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

How to Successfully Navigate Uncertainty
Health Disparities
Deborah has been an activist in the health disparities conversation for many years.

From the Barrio to the Boardroom: Celebrating Hispanic Heritage
An expert in navigating uncertainty, I was raised in the nation’s poorest congressional district, where gangs ruled the street corners and my biggest dream was about having heat and hot water. Along the way I developed strategies for success that formed a bridge from tough inner-city beginnings to award-winning entrepreneur and advisor to Fortune 500 companies. Using a powerful narrative, sprinkled with humor and personal and professional victories, I intentionally move the audience through specific use-now strategies that will help them make results happen. I celebrate our Latino Heritage and use it to challenge their assumptions about what is possible.
Shaping a Culture that Elevates Performance: Engage, Enable & Empower Your Teams
We keep going back to the solutions of the past hoping they will continue to yield results in the complexity of the present. Again and again we train our teams in the latest tips and techniques only to re-learn that performance isn’t a paint-by-numbers game. There simply isn’t a playbook comprehensive enough to match every circumstance up ahead. What we need is a self-generating capacity and willingness for people to invent in the moment, speak up, get heard, build trust, take effective action and really be of impact. They’ve got to own it and be at the source of it themselves – and that’s exactly what I teach them to do. The audience will leave with: •The realization that they are co-creators of their culture having discovered their own voice and power in the matter of shaping culture. •Clarity about their role and impact in crafting and cultivating their signature culture. •Perspectives and tools to build a culture where people feel valued, honored and heard.
Mining Diversity to Deliver Innovation: How to Create a Highly Effective Workforce
The war for talent is here to stay. And that talent will be increasingly diverse. What will it take to mine an irreversibly complex demographic to deliver game changing innovation and performance? Well, we can’t keep doing more of the same and expect different results. The traditional business case for diversity is weak. Just having more diverse people at the table isn’t delivering enough results. In fact, in many cases, it has introduced a complexity that most organizations are ill-equipped to handle. As we watch the growing exodus of women and people of color from corporate America, we keep learning a tough lesson –- that no amount of prescribed behavior or mandated actions will leave people feeling honored, valued or included. Yet, without mastery here, companies and organizations take on an unnecessary risk to generating innovation and delivering performance.
Advancing a New Era of Diversity: To Power Critical Business Objectives
In this experiential, actionable, and validating keynote, Deb gives organizations on their diversity journey a fresh and highly impactful approach to creating the wins that elevate team performance. This keynote serves leaders, managers, and individual contributors looking to: •Grow beyond tactical initiatives to weave diversity into their personal and organizational DNA. •Navigate complex and societal issues that impact workplace diversity. •Get results-driven guidance in making the right decisions regarding diversity. Leaders, managers, and individual contributors audience will leave with: •A mindset and tools to leverage diversity as a strength to think powerfully, act courageously, and invent collaboratively. •A proven pathway for managing and leveraging diversity to build high-performance teams powering growth and profitability. •An increased capacity to have authentic and impactful conversations about workplace diversity that elevates their own professional and personal opportunities.
