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.

Purpose and Meaning

It's hard to succeed 

You don't have to do it alone!

Are you an Asian American or woman professional stuck at senior manager or director levels, facing mental and systemic barriers to advancement?

​

The EvolveByNEC© Leadership Accelerator Academy provides a mix of group and one-on-one coaching designed to empower you to break through any barrier.

​

In this program, you’ll learn to leverage the NEC Framework© to evolve, not change, who you are as you navigate the unwritten rules of workplace advancement.

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.
