"Embrace the Power of You" is written by Tricia Montalvo Timm.
Throughout the book, you will find places to pause for self-reflection as well as activities and exercises to help you take significant steps on your own journey towards self-acceptance. I’ve also shared stories from some top executives and other business leaders to inspire hope as you embrace what it means to be you. You may feel alone right now, but I will be with you every step of the way as you learn to embrace the real you and allow it to shine in and out of the workplace.

Why this book? Why Now?
I met Tricia in April 2023 because we partnered on a panel for the Santa Clara County Women's Leadership and Policy Summit. As a panelist, Tricia shared her journey as a board director, venture investor, speaker and author. She is a first-generation Latina who 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. Tricia is one of the few Latinas to have attained the triple achievement of reaching the C-suite, joining the boardroom and cracking the venture capital ceiling. Tricia’s industry recognitions include the 2020 Women of Influence and Latino Business Leadership awards from Silicon Valley Business Journal and the title of Diversity Champion from the SVBJ Corporate Counsel Awards.
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.
Now, more than ever, we all need to be inspired to be our true, authentic selves. How else can the world benefit from all of our strengths and gifts as we work together to rebuild a society that is just and equitable for us all.
