Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch is a public speaker. She shares her message of what it takes to be an effective leader in today's global marketplace to hundreds of schools, colleges/universities, corporations, and government institutions, both in the U.S. and abroad.

Kickbusch was born and raised along the border in a small barrio in Laredo, Texas. She was taught by her immigrant parents that she was rich in culture, tradition, values, and faith.^[1]

She eventually overcame poverty, discrimination, and illiteracy to become the successful community leader she is today.

For the last ten years Consuelo has dedicated her life to empowering a new generation of Hispanic leaders and has worked with over one million children and their parents across the United States through Educational Achievement Services, Inc. (EAS), a company she founded in 1994.
