RESPONSE TO COVID-19
During these unprecedented times I know many community leaders and non-profit organizations are supporting communities across the nation on relief efforts and resources. I’ve compiled a list of in-language and mutual aid resources for you and your community.
What my biggest fans say...
“
As an Asian American woman and young professional, I found myself at a crossroad where I felt that my professional career had lead me to a position where I often would represent a community, and yet, there were times where I would question myself on whether I was doing that part of my job effectively. Rox was able to be a sounding board that allowed me to think through things without fear or holding back. She often provided good critiques to how I could message my thoughts more effectively and also provided techniques and tools that helped me gain more confidence in my ability to translated my inner thoughts into tangible ideas and words of action.

I had Roxanna Bautista as my leadership coach during a big transition: I was moving from non-profit into a government position, and I was starting my own coaching training. Through her coaching, I was able to begin to navigate the overwhelm of a new office culture while also learning how to delegate and supervise for the first time. She also helped me uncover my guilt around self-care. Although I only worked with Rox for a few months, her coaching helped me build a great foundation for what came next. Today, I’ve increased my salary by 30%, I’ve received two promotions, and I’ve started my own coaching practice as a self-love coach for women of color.

I had Roxanna Bautista as my leadership coach as I was transitioning from a non-profit director position into a new career pathway. Through her coaching, I was able to effectively expand programs, manage diverse coalitions, equip staff with training and development and gain confidence in managing up and handling challenges in the department. Although I only worked with Rox for 9 months, I benefitted from her coaching and guidance. She was a great motivator and skillfully combines empathy and compassion with professionalism.

I had the pleasure of working with Rox over the past several years. More recently in 2020, my program had the opportunity to bring her on as a contractor to implement a project in which she worked to revitalize a statewide coalition and help guide its work. The project necessitated her working with a large group of diverse stakeholders all throughout California. She made a clear plan and was an exceptional thought partner always presenting innovative and effective ideas and solutions. Ms. Bautista provided stellar facilitation to several meetings, and always moved things forward with little guidance.

I have had the opportunity to work with Roxanna on a statewide planning committee and on a community research project. On both she has been a very effective consultant - prepared, knowledgeable, engaged and motivating. I especially appreciate her professionalism and proactiveness; she never hesitates to facilitate discussions regarding project needs, and problem-solve in order to stay track on goals and deliverables. Most of all, Roxanna is so positive that it's truly a joy to work together. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of project coordination, visioning and goal development, and operationalization and implementation!

I’m grateful to have her included in the Hellman Foundation’s pool of impactful consultants. Roxanna has provided deepened and tailored capacity building support to the Foundation’s Collaborative Change Initiative grantee partners. She possesses a combination of hard and soft skills, meeting grantee partners where they are and adapting capacity building offerings to meet their needs and moves them forward. Her expertise in facilitative leadership; retreat planning; collaboration building and restructuring; leveraging partnerships and relationships; program evaluation; infrastructure support; and leadership coaching have been invaluable to our portfolio of grantee partners.

Rox is an incredible coach and mentor to me. I worked with Rox for almost a decade at a health policy organization where she taught me how to lead coalitions and build capacity with community-based organizations across the country. Leading by example, Rox has showed me how to care for the most vulnerable communities and also be an ally and advocate for health justice. Rox has also coached me in my leadership journey and I attribute many of my career successes to her mentorship and coaching.
