“As a first-generation Latina from a working-class background, I found that my current value set was limiting my ability to grow in the workplace. When I approached Dr. Anna Kallschmidt, I was seeking guidance on how to navigate this challenge. Dr. Kallschmidt’s own work on unwritten rules deeply resonated with me, as it reflected my own experiences. Her insights and approach helped me reframe how I navigate professional environments, especially in adapting to new workplace values and communication styles. Coming from a working-class background, I often felt that these environments weren’t built for people like me, but Dr. Kallschmidt showed me the importance of understanding the rules of the game to grow professionally.”
