Raul T. Pereyra- Life coach, entrepreneur & community leader

Raúl T. Pereyra (RTP) is a first-generation Latino leader, coach, and the founder and CEO of RTP Learning.
Raised in East Los Angeles as the son of Mexican immigrants, Raúl overcame significant personal adversity — including a childhood in a home impacted by alcoholism — to transform his life’s challenges into a powerful foundation for purpose and leadership.

For over 25 years, he has worked across human resources, organizational development, diversity/equity/inclusion (DEI), and leadership training, helping nonprofit organizations, B-Corps, and socially conscious businesses build inclusive cultures and effective leadership. 

Driven by his own journey of “post-traumatic growth,” he developed a coaching framework called The BAG We Carry™ — addressing the Beliefs, Assumptions, and Guardians (inner-critic, limiting beliefs, old coping patterns) that often hold leaders back. Through Behavior‑First Coaching™, he helps first-time Latina/Latino and BIPOC CEOs, founders, and executives unpack their inner barriers, build self-awareness, and lead with clarity, integrity, and belonging.
Raúl’s work extends beyond individual coaching — he partners with mission-driven organizations to deliver structured training, DEI consulting, and leadership development that drive lasting culture change, better retention, and enhanced engagement. 

At the core of his mission: to transform what once felt like baggage into fuel for growth — helping leaders not just succeed in their roles, but lead with authenticity, purpose, and the confidence to belong boldly.
