"Embrace the Power of You is a guide for anyone who has ever felt invisible. Tricia holds your hand through the journey to self-acceptance and gives you the tools you need to show up as your authentic self." --Deepa Purushothaman, author, The First, the Few, the Only

"For any leader or manager who cares about inclusion and belonging, this book is a must-read. Change can begin with you. Start by reading this brilliant book." --Ruchika Tulshyan, author, Inclusion on Purpose

"To build a truly inclusive culture you need to make sure that it reflects the personalities, aspirations and ambitions of your team.

"Trying to work where you have to hide a part of yourself, or don't feel you belong, is like being smothered from the inside out. This book is your guide to a far better alternative and teaches you not only the power, but the necessity of embracing who you are, showing up as your full self and thriving as a result. A powerful, provocative read that no one can afford to miss." --Anita Sands, PhD, board director and venture investor

"Embrace the Power of You shouts out loud the painful secret that most of us keep buried--we are the 'other'--too often inhibiting ourselves, our company, our community and the nation of our most awesome talents. Tricia's book provides a fabulous mix of empathy and steps to take to become the leaders we are meant to be." --Maura O'Neill, first chief innovation officer, USAID under President Obama

"Embrace the Power of You is for anyone questioning whether they belong in the room. Tricia shares her own story and that of other underrepresented people working hard to fit in yet not feeling much belonging. She inspires you with her own vulnerability and transformation and guides you through your own reflections and practical next steps." --Ellen Taaffe, clinical professor, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University

"A must-read for any leader who wants to learn more about the benefits of an inclusive culture. Through shared personal stories, you will develop a newfound empathy for those in your organization who desperately want a seat at the table, but are reluctant to pursue it." --Mark Garrett, former EVP and CFO, Adobe and board director

"Belonging is achieved when employees feel cherished for their uniqueness. Through personal stories and research, Tricia offers a rare look at why employees may not bring their authentic selves to work, what they can do to embrace their true selves and what leaders can do today to foster a culture of inclusivity. It is a must-read for all leaders hoping to unleash the full potential of their organization." --Frances Frei, professor, Harvard Business School

"Embrace the Power of You is the book I wish I had when I began my career--actually, when I started college! It would have given me the knowledge I needed to begin living my most authentic life." --Cornell Verdeja-Woodson, director, DEIB, Headspace Health

"Today's workplace succeeds when each of us can bring our full talents, experiences and insights to the fore, but many of us struggle with feeling the need to assimilate and blend into the corporate landscape. Tricia gives us the tools and insights we need to show up as our authentic selves, which benefits us, the communities we represent and the places we work." --Lisen Stromberg, CEO, PrismWork
