Hey friends! I'm back with a captivating new episode that I just know you'll love. Today I chat with the remarkable Tricia Montalvo Timm, a first-generation Latina leader who worked her way up in Silicon Valley. Tricia shares vulnerable stories from her immigrant upbringing and career journey, along with the key lessons she's learned. You'll hear how she went from masking her identity to embracing her Latina heritage publicly on LinkedIn. I was so inspired by how she uses her voice to lift up other women and people of color. The conversation covers everything from overcoming imposter syndrome to managing high-stakes tech deals worth billions (?!). Tricia also gives advice to women hoping to advance as leaders. With authenticity and grace, she reminds us that our differences are our superpowers. I'd love to hear your biggest takeaways and insights after watching! What stood out to you most? Let me know in the comments. And if you know someone who needs to hear this encouraging story, be sure to share it with them.
