As an Asian woman professional, have you experienced this? • Not Seen As A Leader. You are competent and have done excellent work. However, you feel that you’re not making a significant impact because you continue to be given the housekeeping work instead of key projects. You are told that you are not visionary enough and you are still not seen as a leader. • Feeling Stuck in Your Career. You have progressed rapidly from the lower levels but your career progression has slowed down or stopped now. You felt capped and you do not see anyone who looks like you in the executive leadership. • Unclear Purpose. You are used to putting your family and community first over your own needs and aspirations. You are unclear what your purpose is and what you should focus on for your career and life. • Taking On Too Much. You feel like you’re stuck between pleasing others and staying true to yourself. You find it hard to say no and end up with a lot on your plate. • Tip Toeing on “Just Right”. You feel that you are caught in two competing stereotypes. You are expected to be quiet and modest, and when you try to speak up, you face a backlash for being too direct or aggressive. You feel the pressure to be “just right”. • Difficulty Getting Visibility. You struggle to get noticed in a male-dominated field or industry, feeling like your voice isn’t being heard or valued. You find it hard to advocate for yourself or assert your opinions. You fear that you are passed over for opportunities due to lack of visibility. • Need To Prove Yourself. You feel pressured to prove yourself more than men and demonstrate your worth before being recognized as a valuable contributor. You feel that you have limited access to resources, networks or connections. You fear that you are not good enough. WHAT TO EXPECT:You will learn the L.I.F.T Framework Traditional programs teach common leadership strategies and skills, but ignore the most important part of transformation: YOUR IDENTITY. In this innovative 2-day program, we keep your identity at the core, while helping you to become a fearless and authentic Asian woman leader with the four pillars in the L.I.F.T. Framework: (1) Lean Into Your Identity:• How to explore your Asian identity and break through cultural and gender influences.• How to OWN your strengths, values, identity and culture. (2) Ignite Your Purpose:• How to gain clarity on your values, purpose and career vision.• How to build an authentic personal leadership brand. (3) Fire Up Your Fearless Self:• How to strengthen your inner game, build your confidence and manage your inner critic.• How to overcome imposter syndrome and self-doubt, and become a fearless leader. (4) Turn Up Your Volume:• How to master the outer game, amplify your influence.• How to build self-advocacy, visibility and speak up with confidence, presence and credibility. WHY TAKE THE COURSE WITH US? Designed for Asian women leaders, by Asian women leaders.As Asian women professionals ourselves, we are immersed in the same challenges and can fully empathize and relate to Asian women professionals' struggles as our own stories. As executive coaches who specialize in coaching Asian women professionals, we know how to help you. During the course, we will share our experiences, hear the experiences from the cohort community, and discuss the strategies that will work best in your circumstances. Our mission is to elevate and advance Asian women leadership - authentically, unapologetically. WHAT SETS THIS COURSE EXPERIENCE APART:• Identity-Driven Leadership: Unlike traditional leadership courses, we focus on empowering Asian women leaders to tap into their unique strengths and passions, leveraging their cultural heritage and experiences. • Personalized Approach: Our approach combines inquiry and sharing of strategies that worked for us, providing a tailored experience that helps you develop a personalized leadership style. • Community Connection: With thoughtful, engaging break-out groups, you’ll have ample opportunities to connect with peers who share your background and perspectives, fostering meaningful discussions and connections. • Real-World Insights from Asian Women Leaders: You’ll learn from our own experiences as Asian women leaders, gaining practical advice and inspiration to navigate the challenges and opportunities of leading in today’s world. • A Safe Space for Authentic Expression: Our course provides a welcoming environment where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns without fear of judgment or bias, allowing you to be your authentic self. WHO WILL BENEFIT MOST FROM THIS COURSE: Asian women professionals who will get the most from this course tend to be the following:• You are interested to learn how you can leverage your culture and identity to level up your leadership.• You have progressed rapidly from the lower levels but your career progression has slowed down or stopped now.• You are competent and have done excellent work but felt that you are still not seen as a leader.• You are ambitious and eager to sharpen your leadership skills to break through the bamboo ceiling.• You are self-aware, open to feedback, and committed to personal and professional growth.• You are engaged and ready to participate actively in discussions and learning.• You are willing to share your unique experiences to enrich the collective knowledge of the group. We are looking forward to bringing together a thoughtful group of Asian women who wants to help one another grow and develop. WHO THIS IS NOT FOR: • This is not for you if you believe your culture and identity does not play a role in your career progression as an Asian woman leader.• This is not for you if you are seeking 1:1 coaching, although there will be plenty of Q&amp;A and opportunities to volunteer your situations/examples for group discussion.• This is not for you if you cannot dedicate the time and prefer a slower-paced course spread over several weeks. This is a 2-day intensive designed for busy Asian women professionals who want a focused, immersive experience without distractions. Be prepared for fast-paced learning and significant growth within a short time. WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS SAY:﻿“I was really impressed by the level of nuance and integration of traditional coaching and professional development with considerations of challenges that Asian American women face in their career and professional development journey.” “For anyone who has struggled with Imposter Syndrome, who does great work but somehow, oftentimes gets overlooked as a leader, who wants to level up and learn real techniques for facing adversity in the workplace - this is the ultimate workshop for you.” “The fact that the program was led by Denise and Marriot, two Asian American women with deep experience in their respective fields and career coaching was a delight and speaks to the fact that the program was designed with a group in mind that were overlooked and purpose-built program like this.” 100% Would recommend this program to a colleague or friend (Survey Response from Program Participants) ** This course is currently offered at the introductory price of $599.
