Chisme#50: Redefining Professionalism by empowering authenticity | Pabel Martinez- Founder of Plurawl/ Global Account Director at TikTok

Mi Gente!  I had the amazing opportunity to chat with Pabel Martinez, founder & CEO of Plurawl, Host of the 'Quien tu Eres?' podcast and Global Account Director at TikTok. We talked about the importance of redefining professionalism, specially at the workplace.  A lot of us feel that we need to leave our authentic selves on a shelf in order to fit in or to be accepted at work, one of the reasons we might feel disconnected and tired.  We are in 2022, and we think is time to redefine what it actually means to be professional without jeopardizing our authenticity.  Pabel's superpower is uncovering the story behind the numbers; translating data to stories. He's been able to flex this skill at various technology companies such as Facebook (previous employer) and TikTok (current employer). Although he's been successful, he has met challenges along the way. He experienced imposter's syndrome, micro-aggressions, and racism. He would often REPRESS parts of his identity inside & outside of work in an effort to feel more included and less judged. He isn't alone. "According to a new study published by the Center for Talent Innovation, Latinos at Work: Unleashing the Power of Culture, most Latinos in the U.S. do not feel that they can bring their whole selves to the office. The study found the vast majority of Latinos (76%) repress parts of their personas at work.” Please follow Pabel at:  IG: @plurawl website: www.plurawl.com Podcast:¿ Quien tu eres?
