S4E17: The Hidden Barriers That Keep Asian-Americans From Leadership, Fulfillment, and Success with John Wang

REVUP Your Business with Hilda Gan

Why do Asians often get overlooked for leadership? Studies have shown that Asian Americans are amongst the most highly educated groups, yet are statistically held back from leadership positions. Despite working hard, they are often overlooked for their efforts and brilliance. Several myths are continuously perpetrated about Asian Americans in the workplace, from perceptions of the "shyness" to mindset and communication limitations from pressures of assimilation.

John Wang is a well-known Asian American communication and mindset speaker, with 15 years of experience coaching quiet overachievers to be seen for their brilliance. He is the founder of Big Asian Energy and his videos on overcoming our patterns of self sabotage have been seen by over 26 million people. Big Asian Energy's mission is about examining the sources of our external and internal limitations and breaking through them, together. In this episode, John shares the story behind Big Asian Energy, The ACE Framework (Assertiveness, Competence, Empathy), growing up as a visible minority, why helping others is the secret to happiness, and more!
