Welcome—I’m Peter Rios. A professor of leadership at NYU, bestselling author, consultant, and global speaker with a passion for helping people grow and lead with impact.
For more than two decades, I’ve worked with leaders, organizations, and communities across the U.S., Latin America, and beyond—partnering with universities, companies, nonprofits, and global institutions. My journey—from serving in the U.S. Marine Corps to teaching in classrooms and speaking on international stages—has shaped an approach to leadership that is practical, intercultural, and future-focused.
At the core of my work is a commitment to values, purpose, and transformation. Whether in business, education, or ministry spaces, I believe leadership is a calling to serve and inspire others toward greater impact.
This channel is where I share that journey with you: big ideas, fresh insights, and practical strategies to help you lead with clarity, courage, and vision.

👑 El liderazgo verdadero no obliga obediencia.
Crea condiciones para el crecimiento.
Si tu liderazgo solo funciona cuando estás presente,
no es liderazgo—es control.
Los líderes saludables no dominan.
Desarrollan.
No forman seguidores.
Construyen caminos.
👇🏽
¿Quién creó un camino para ti—y cómo lo estás haciendo ahora por otros?

👑 True leadership doesn’t force obedience.
It creates conditions for growth.
If your leadership only works when you’re in the room,
it’s not leadership—it’s control.
Healthy leaders don’t dominate.
They develop.
They don’t build followers.
They build paths.
👇🏽
Who helped create a path for you—and how are you doing that for others?

✨ There’s a kind of leadership that wins by training people to stop feeling.
It normalizes cruelty as “strength.”
It calls empathy “weakness.”
It treats the vulnerable like a tool—then calls it “order.”
But here’s the truth:
The way a leader treats the vulnerable tells you everything.
Healthy leadership protects.
It refuses to turn pain into policy.
It refuses to make fear look normal.
Don’t get used to what should still shock you.
Question: What’s one leadership behavior you refuse to normalize—at work, in church, or in society? 👇🏽

👑 El liderazgo saludable no humilla para sentirse poderoso.
👉🏾 Los buenos líderes
reconocen en público
y corrigen en privado.
¿Por qué?
Porque la confianza se construye con dignidad.
El crecimiento necesita un espacio seguro.
Y el liderazgo saludable multiplica a las personas, no las reduce.
Si necesitas destruir a otros para liderar,
no estás liderando… estás guiando desde la inseguridad.
✔️ Honra en público
✔️ Acompaña en privado
✔️ Lidera con integridad
Así se forman los líderes.
Así se transforman las culturas.

👑 Great leaders don’t embarrass people to feel powerful.
👉They praise in public
👉🏾 and correct in private.
Why?
Because trust is built in dignity.
Growth happens in safety.
And real leadership multiplies people—it doesn’t shrink them.
If you need to tear someone down to lead them,
you’re not leading… you’re managing insecurity.
✔️ Honor publicly
✔️ Coach privately
✔️ Lead with integrity
That’s how leaders are formed.
That’s how cultures are transformed.

⛑️ Los líderes saludables protegen a los más vulnerables — no los usan.
En tiempos de miedo, crisis y división,
los líderes tóxicos explotan el dolor para ganar poder.
Manipulan narrativas, provocan indignación
y sacrifican personas para proteger su influencia.
Pero el liderazgo saludable se ve distinto.
Los líderes saludables cuidan a quienes tienen menos poder. Dicen la verdad — incluso cuando tiene un costo.
Lideran con valentía, integridad y responsabilidad.
👉🏽 La forma en que un líder trata a los más vulnerables
revela todo lo que necesitas saber.
Pregunta: ¿Qué tipo de líder estás decidiendo ser en este momento?

⛑️ Healthy leaders protect the vulnerable — they don’t use them.
In moments of fear, crisis, and division,
toxic leaders exploit pain to gain power.
They stir outrage, manipulate stories, and sacrifice people for influence.
But real leadership looks different.
Healthy leaders protect those with less power.
They tell the truth—even when it costs them.
They lead with courage, integrity, and restraint.
👉🏽 How a leader treats the most vulnerable tells you everything you need to know.
Question: What kind of leader are you choosing to be in this moment?
