Are there incredible things about you that you shy away from sharing with other people, especially at work?    It makes sense that we show up differently than our most authentic selves when it comes to the workplace, but the challenge is that it can make us really, really unhappy.    At the end of the day, we spend so much time of our lives at work, and when we can't be our true selves, it can be soul crushing.   My guest this week is Asha Davis, an Integrated Strategy Director at a top tier NY Ad Agency.
