Leadership Accelerator Academy
Our program philosophy
This immersive program is designed to fast-track your career growth, recognizing your readiness to lead now, not years from now. Unlike traditional programs that frame you as still developing, we empower you to break through systemic barriers and advance to executive levels or wherever you aspire in your career and life.
When more diverse leaders like you rise to leadership roles, belonging and inclusion become a lived reality.

Our mental and external barriers
Asian Americans and women don't succeed at work for these reasons
Cultural heritage - old beliefs of what is good or bad
Perfectionism tendencies-hyper achiever
People pleasing for acceptance and affection
Lack of meaningful mentorship and sponsorship
Persistent stereotyping e.g. non-assertive, no personality, presence
Microaggressions, double standards, little to no feedback
These 6 reasons are the root causes Asian Americans and women lack the courage and confidence in their career. I can help you get past these barriers.
