Dr. Fred speaks today with professor, bestselling author, executive coach, and mother, Cynthia M. Ruiz (Cherokee Name: Lion Mother). Coming from blended cultures (Latina and Native American), Cynthia enjoys a passion for life and an appreciation of the gifts of Mother Nature.

Cynthia has received over 78 accolades and awards for her leadership and service to the community. She currently serves as the President of the LA City multibillion-dollar pension fund. She was named a  Latina Influencer by Hispanic Lifestyle Magazine. Cynthia holds a Masters of Science Degree in Counseling and has completed a Leadership Course at Harvard University, John F Kennedy School of Government.

As a Leadership Expert and a Latina Influencer her passion is teaching others to rise to their power. Her Cherokee values have inspired her to share lessons she has learned from her ancestors.

Here's a slice of what you'll hear Steven and Dr. Fred discuss in today's lively conversation:

• Balancing humility and confidence
• Leadership as the ability to influence others (not a popularity contest)
• Why we are never “stuck” with past decisions
• Being authentic and leading by example
• integrity as “doing the right thing when no one is looking”
• The tendency of women to lead from social power & men to lead from individual power
• The power of not seeing anyone as an enemy
• Self-forgiveness as a key to freedom and empowerment
• Recent positive developments in the Latino community
• Cherokee culture has always been matriarchal
• Overcoming a violent rape at 17 years old
