Carlos A. Salinas is on a mission to help individuals become better leaders by redefining and redirecting skills they already have.
Salinas has an interest in understanding how the way we approach conflict defines the quality of our experiences, and the experiences of others about us.
His advocacy and strategic planning experience helps him connect the dots and see the big picture. While his creativity serves his students by explaining complex concepts in a simple way, often using metaphors and analogies.
