Welcome to "Tell It by Tuesday!" We're thrilled to have you back for another episode of our "His and Hers Perspective" series. Today, we have a special guest, Montéle Graves, who will be sharing his perspective on code switching in the workplace, speaking for "all men."

This week, we dive deep into the fascinating topic of code switching. Is it behavioral, linguistic, or something more complex? Join us as we explore how code switching serves or doesn't serve us in various aspects of life. We ponder whether the expectations for code switching are different for men and women, exploring the idea that men may face a more significant burden to adapt to various environments. The conversation takes an interesting turn as we discuss the concept of authenticity in the workplace.

Can we ever truly know someone's authentic self in a professional setting? Are we imposing these behaviors on ourselves, or are they imposed on us by societal expectations? We delve into the complexity of code switching, whether it's altering the way you speak or adjusting your behavior to fit different environments. Our guests share personal anecdotes and reflections, challenging the idea of being our "authentic" selves at work.

In the end, we question whether the corporate culture truly encourages employees to show up as their authentic selves or if it demands a more subdued version. Is code switching a survival mechanism in the modern workplace?

This thought-provoking discussion will leave you reflecting on your own experiences with code switching and the role it plays in your life. If you're curious about this topic and want to explore it further, be sure to download this podcast, dive into the conversation, and continue your journey of self-reflection.
