Deep down we all want to be acknowledged and sometimes if not all times this is hard at the workplace where often we get in via a resume, and have to fulfill a set of duties as per our job descriptions so much so that personality and well being is shoved aside. This book reminded me of the importance of empathy, of how we talk to and include each other in conversations at the workplace.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

"Embrace the Power of You" is an inspiring guide for self-acceptance and personal growth. It unveils implicit biases in the workplace with real-life examples and transformative exercises. This book promotes empathy, bridging understanding between minorities and non-minorities regarding the challenges faced by those in the minority.

This book resonated with me because I have often grappled with the sensation of being the "Other." Although this feeling has been a recurring theme, the hurt it causes remains fresh. Discovering that I'm not alone and learning coping strategies has been a profound and comforting experience. As I continue reading, I increasingly find comfort in embracing my authentic self.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone, not just minorities.

Helpful and vulnerable take on hoe to not lose yourself at work. I think it was important to name how competition can play a role in compromising yourself. I think this would be helpful for new professionals and book clubs.

This book will help you answer the question that no doubt have already crossed your mind. I found myself nodding in agreement throughout, and occasionally jotting down a few notes. Worth a read if you manage a diverse team or if you are struggling with how to bring your authentic self to work.

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for early access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

It is difficult to get yourself out there, especially when you start a new job, when you have something you want more than anything, it can be daunting, especially when you’re surrounded by people with so much experience. This was a pretty interesting and thoughtful read and something I believe can help those over come their fears, it’s highly appreciated, knowing while you may feel isolated and alone, you have those all around the world who feel the same.
