63. Embrace the Power of You (with Tricia Montalvo Timm)
Tricia Montalvo Timm is a first-generation Latina board director, venture investor and speaker. With her new book, Embrace the Power of You, she hopes to inspire anyone who has ever felt like an “other” in the workplace to embrace their true selves, own their identity and achieve success and fulfillment in their life and career.
In this episode:
- Tricia shares her experience from a young age where she realized that people thought her last name wasn’t considered “American” enough for her to get acting roles.
- How she navigated the high-powered career as a lawyer when she became a new mother.
- Who her book, Embrace the Power of You, is for and what she hopes people will learn from it.
- The importance of helping people feel like they belong in organizations and how her manager strategies in the book could help with that.
- How her scan-evaluate-adapt process worked for her in networking conversations and what she realized was different for her vs her husband in similar situations.
- How debilitating perfectionism can be and how much energy it takes from you.
- The important of self-care, resting through the contraction times in our lives so we are ready for expansion opportunities.
