Award-Winning Educator, TEDx Speaker, Founder of the Capellan Institute, and Author of ”Leadership is a Responsibility” - Dr. Marisol Capellan

This week on the KORE Women podcast, Dr. Summer Watson welcomes Dr. Marisol Capellan, who is internationally recognized and award-winning educator, TEDx speaker, executive coach, corporate trainer and author of the book, “Leadership is a Responsibility.” She is the Founder of The Capellan Institute, a leadership, coaching, and corporate training company specializing in workplace culture, diversity, equity & inclusion, and soft skills development.

She holds a Doctorate in Higher Education Leadership and a Masters of Management with Specialization in Leadership. Dr. Capellan is a former lecturer at the University of Miami, Miami Herbert Business School lecturer, where she taught management and organizational behavior classes and served as the associate director of their Masters in Leadership program. Her dissertation focus was on the trajectory of women and leadership positions.

As an Afro-Latina, mother, and immigrant, she has faced and witnessed many of the institutional and systemic barriers and biases that Black women face in their career trajectory to leadership roles, which sparked her passion for women’s empowerment and the need to increase the representation of women in positions of power. As a result, she published her book; Leadership is a Responsibility, about her career journey experience as a Black Hispanic woman in Academia, the stories of Black women in the workplace, and the need for responsible leaders to create a more equitable society where minorities can belong and thrive.

In addition, her personal story of resilience has been featured on CNN and Telemundo as an unstoppable woman, where she discussed how her mindset helped her life and career trajectory as an immigrant in the United States.
