038. Shining the Light on Underrepresented Voices
Have you ever felt invisible or marginalized at work where you had to hide a part of yourself or felt you don’t belong?
Maybe you hide or downplay a piece of your identity in order to fit in.
We all want to belong– not for who we aren’t, but for who we are!
Maybe you are a manager wanting to empower each member on your team.
Here to discuss this all with me is Tricia Montalvo Timm. Tricia is a board director, venture investor, speaker and author. She is a first-generation Latina whose law career spanned from working with some of the most well-known publicly traded multinational companies to stepping on as the first lawyer at several high-growth start-ups.
She rose through the ranks of Silicon Valley advising high-tech companies big and small, culminating in the sale of data analytics software company Looker to Google for $2.6 billion.
In new book, Embrace the Power of You, she seeks to inspire those who have felt like an “other” in the workplace how to own your identity at work, show up as your authentic self, and how that leads to the real success you may be seeking.
