Leadership Accelerator Academy
Our program philosophy
The academy aims to cultivate mindful future leaders rather than biased conformists. It is designed to fast-track your career growth compared to traditional programs that view you as still developing. Believing you are not ready can hinder psychological readiness. Instead of waiting for corporate systems to change, this program will help you break systemic barriers to reach executive levels or as high as you aspire in your career and life. When more of you are in leadership roles, diversity and inclusion will become a 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 women lack the courage and confidence in their career. I can help you get past these barriers.
