Imagine growing up in a world where you're encouraged to assimilate, to downplay your heritage, and to hide your identity. This was the reality for our guest, Tricia Montalvo-Tim, a successful corporate attorney and board director who spent two decades battling the emotional toll of feeling like an outsider in her own community and workplace.
In her conversation with Lisa Mulligan, Tricia shares her journey, to balance motherhood, a demanding career, and her authentic self in a corporate environment that didn’t always understand her unique background.
We also explore the continuous pressure women of color face in proving their worth in their careers. Tricia's perspective as a board director offers valuable insights into the importance of diversity in these leadership roles.
She emphasizes the importance of authenticity as the path to success and believes that anyone who ever felt like an outsider could benefit from her experiences. She has written the book Embrace the Power of You: Owning Your Identity at Work to share her wisdome and experience.
