Embrace the Power of You: Owning your Identity at Work with Tricia Montalvo Timm

In this episode with Trisha Montalvo Tim, you'll learn:

• Trisha's journey as a Latina navigating predominantly white male corporate spaces
• The exhaustion of constantly code-switching and hiding parts of yourself to "fit in"
• How finding a community who shares your experience provides validation
• The importance of giving yourself agency over when and how much of your story to reveal at work
• Why investing in your own resilience and self-belief is key advice Trisha would give her younger self
• How we can create psychological safety to empower others to bring their full selves
• Why it takes both underrepresented groups doing the work AND companies meeting them halfway

Quotes:

"I didn't even recognize I was putting on this armor every day that I was going to work every day that I was going out in spaces where I was an "other", it was just this armor that I put on to protect myself."

"You are enough exactly the way you are and that your background, your parents, your family, everything, all the values, everything that contributed to making you Trisha, is incredibly powerful and an asset in an organization."

"It takes both sides of the coin to really drive that change forward."
