Ep 143: The fastest way to instantly land your work ideas
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever have that moment in a big meeting where you share your innovative idea … and it doesn’t land?
And it’s happened more than once, despite your years of experience and knowing your stuff backward and forward.
Today, we’re unpacking what’s REALLY going on before you even share your idea — and why being seen as reliable and hard‑working doesn’t always translate into being heard.
For many Asian-American women, this goes all the way back to being raised to be agreeable, polite, or to put others first, habits that don’t always serve us in high‑stakes rooms.
Inside, I share some practical shifts you can start using right away! Tune in to hear more.
