Hi, I’m Ali! Passionate practitioner of emotional intelligence (EQ) and agile leadership, renowned for expertise in learning and development. As a first-generation college graduate, my journey from Puerto Rico to the U.S. in 2017 has been shaped by firsthand experiences of the transformative power of education and resilience. With over 15 years of professional experience across different industries, my career journey spans bilingual public, private and higher education, corporate instructional design, UX for sales enablement and leadership development. As a UX Researcher at Amazon Web Services, I’ve led qualitative research projects, designed user-centered solutions, and integrated AI into learning and development strategies, supporting a global workforce of over 35,000. As an AWS-certified EQ Champion and Inclusion Ambassador, I have spearheaded EQ-driven culture and engagement initiatives and championed inclusive best practices within one of the world’s most influential tech companies. Through 'Growing Your EQ', I help organizations develop agile, emotionally intelligent leaders who transform team dynamics and drive 2X performance. I believe that while some leadership is good, top leadership is all about purpose, connection, and creating meaningful change. I am now in the venture of completing my doctoral degree in leadership, involved in community programs for the youth through volunteering and recently became a bestselling author. Outside of work, I’m a proud wife and mom (and dog mom of 2), a nature enthusiast who finds solace on hiking, writer, avid reader, and a hockey fan. If you are interested in talking further, send me a direct DM. "The insights and resources I share are rooted in my personal experiences and reflect my individual voice, independent of my employer."

I was a pessimist in an optimist's disguise. Smiling on the outside. Spiraling on the inside. That reality was indeed surprising. The breakthrough? ↳ Realizing hope without action is just decorated fear. Here are 7 transformations that changed everything: 1. Stopped calling it "being realistic" → Started calling it what it was: fear 2. Quit waiting for ideal conditions → Started creating them instead 3. Stopped anticipating failure → Started designing for success 4. Released the need to be perfect → Took on the power to be better 5. Abandoned comfort zones → Built growth territories 6. Left the prediction business → Entered the production game 7. Dropped the "what if it fails" → Adopted "what if it flies" Growth is a continuous process, but locking in some key practices helped: Gratitude Mornings Reflection Retreats Daily affirmations Plan & Pen Time Idea walks Simple shifts, significant outcomes. Mindset is more than thoughts; it’s consistent application. The greatest transformation? ↳ It starts when you stop hiding from yourself. Then, challenge yourself relentlessly. Which 'realistic' view will you redefine today?
