We spend so much of our lives at work. We certainly can't have a conversation about living full lives without talking about how we show up at work.

In this episode, I break down 5 ways we must show up at work as immigrants

1. Show up with your accent
2. Your work doesn't have a voice, you do. Use it
3. Have the courage to ask for what you want
4. You already stand out, don't shrink back
5. Know when to leave
