Rita Barreto
The President of Top Tier Leadership is an award-winning speaker and transformational leader with a big heart and a long resume. Rita combines deep experience and delightful charm, but they’re not what set her apart. It’s that she doesn’t just promise high-impact results – she delivers! She builds on clients’ motivation, talent and drive to develop highly-effective employees, executives and teams. She views today’s rapidly-changing workplace not as an array of problems to be solved – a generational shift, a need for diversity, employee engagement – but as a challenge demanding new solutions, and she loves challenges.
Rita was president of the Florida Speakers’ Association and earned a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation from the National Speakers’ Association, the highest recognition awarded. Florida’s governor appointed her to the Florida Commission on Human Relations and the Century Commission for a Sustainable Florida. Rita received the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award of the Human Resources Association of Palm Beach County. The South Florida Business Journal called her one of the top HR professionals in Florida. Florida’s CFO appointed her to serve as one of twenty-two women on the Florida Commission on the Status of Women.
