83: The Simple Way to Respond with Confidence at Work

School of Self-Worth

I grew up watching Connie Chung on TV.

And then I got to see her live and hear about her new memoir, “Connie.”

And it was a big reminder of the importance of confidence, and being able to advocate for yourself with confidence at work.

I used to struggle with speaking up for myself at work, and for most of my life, saw myself as the “quiet” one.

But there are some simple things I did to step into my confident, authentic voice as an Asian-American woman, and I go over them in this episode!

The TOP Learnings in this episode:

• Unlearning the “quiet Asian” stereotype (5:58)
• Unorthodox ways to build confidence in a male-dominated industry (8:44)
• Maintaining your power in conversations (10:40)
• The art of pausing to be heard (16:04)
