The Myth of the Bamboo Ceiling:

Taking Ownership of Your Career and Leadership Design

Are you ready to take OWNERSHIP of your career and life design?!

You’ve been working so hard for so long…and yet you are not where you want to be in your career. As Asian Americans, we want respect, recognition and acceptance, yet we are constantly feeling as though we are “not enough.” We are trained masters in achieving...though happiness and real success have felt elusive for far too long.

We want more in our lives, though we’re not sure how to create it…because we’ve been taught hard work will show itself. But hard work only gets us so far…

Hard work in corporate America often time gets us… more work and the most challenging projects. In fact, Asian American women are the least likely demographic to be promoted to executive ranks.

When we start taking ownership of our careers instead of waiting to be noticed, we shift from External Expectations to Internal Integrity™, and we open ourselves up to unlimited advancement in our careers and fulfillment in our lives.
