Raúl T. Pereyra, M.A.

LatinaVIDA Coach and Facilitator

Raúl T. Pereyra, M.A. has adopted a behavior-first, trauma-informed leadership approach as the foundation of his work as Founder and CEO of RTP Learning. He partners with Latino and Latina leaders as they step into bigger roles, helping them lead with clarity, confidence, and self-trust from the inside out. His work centers on how beliefs, assumptions, and protective patterns — often shaped by lived experience — influence leadership behavior under pressure.

Raúl brings over 25 years of experience in human resources, teaching, training, leadership development, facilitation, and organizational consulting across education, nonprofit, and mission-driven organizations. He is especially adept at coaching leaders through transitions, self-doubt, and high-stakes moments in ways that honor both performance and psychological safety. His approach is grounded in agency and empowerment, supporting leaders to make conscious, values-aligned choices rather than operating from fear or survival.

Through his proprietary framework, The BAG We CarryTM, and his 3Rs process — Reframe, Reset, Reclaim — Raúl l helps leaders identify and shift internal barriers such as imposter syndrome, overthinking, and people-pleasing. This trauma-informed, behavior-first process emphasizes choice, self-authority, and sustainable action, enabling leaders to reclaim agency and lead with intention.

Bilingual in English and conversational Spanish, Raúl supports bilingual leaders and culturally rooted conversations with authenticity and care. He brings a strong lens around cultural identity, inclusion, belonging, and inner safety, helping leaders navigate dominant systems without disconnecting from their values or sense of self.

As a first-generation college graduate and Latino leader, Raúl has a deep understanding and empathy for the invisible pressures many leaders carry as they enter uncharted professional spaces. Earlier in his career, he experienced firsthand how unspoken rules, bias, and the pressure to “prove yourself” can quietly shape leadership behavior. Those experiences now inform his ability to coach leaders across sectors — including nonprofit, education, social impact, and community-based organizations — on how to establish presence, credibility, and trust without self-betrayal or burnout.

Raúl is known for creating psychologically safe, empowering spaces where leaders stop managing symptoms and start changing the internal conditions that shape their leadership, resulting in transformation that is foundational, sustainable, and built to last.
