do you struggle with being more visible, vocal, and valuable?
I was born in the United States in a Taiwanese family. I felt like I was getting the wrong kind of attention (or not enough of the right kind), I didn’t know how to speak up for myself, and I didn’t feel like I had any worth.
I didn’t know how to handle any of it, and I didn’t know where to look for help.
Worse, I lost a job because I continually avoided conflict with an upset boss. But getting fired was the wake-up call I needed. I had to adapt myself and improve as a leader, which meant engaging the conflict I disliked so much. Ironically, my ongoing struggle with conflict became a fascination. Now, I help others take on the same challenges.
My clients experience three benefits:
1. Be noticed for what you want to be known for
2. Knowing what to say, and when and how to say it
3. Self-assurance they can take anywhere
