You've likely heard of code switching. You know, the ability to speak/communicate a certain way with one group of people and a different way with another group?

Code switching can sometimes feel inauthentic, a hassle, like one more thing you *have* to do to be effective in the workplace.

But what if code switching was an asset? What if embracing the multifaceted wholeness of you are gave you a leg up at work? What if your biculturalism gave you power when negotiating your salary?

Listen in as I talk all about this with Latina Leader and best selling author, Wendy Amara.

In this episode we discuss:

• What code switching is.
• How  code switching is an asset for leaders of color.
• How to embrace the multifaceted wholeness of who you are when leading.
• How to show up authentically as a leader of color and have a big impact in your workspace.
• How being bicultural can be an asset when negotiating a raise
