School of Self-Worth

Do you feel like you are struggling to have the confidence and charisma to break through the ceiling at work and you’re not sure about what you’re missing?

Today’s episode is the perfect one for you!

This week, I interviewed Misa Chien, founder and CEO of The Authentic Asian, and dig into a deep, powerful conversation about the stereotypes Asian women experience and how to overcome them. We also talk about how to build charisma and the connection between self-worth and professional success.

If you’re feeling unsure of what next steps you need to develop your confidence and charisma at work, Misa offers powerful tools to embrace your authentic self.

The TOP Learnings in this episode:

• Allowing past experiences to teach you lessons in self-worth
• Navigating microaggressions and stereotypes in professional settings
• Embracing your self-worth unlocks your charisma
• Building relationships through “riz” (charisma)

Misa Chien is an authentic leader who is known for inspiring others and helping people feel less alone and more connected through positivity and transparency.

Misa’s engaging and charismatic communication style stems from her experience through multiple forms of communication through being on TV, speaking at renowned institutions (Harvard Business School and The Harvard Club), and gracing the runway for brands such as Neutrogena and Target.

Misa's exceptional leadership and entrepreneurial style have propelled her into high demand as a speaker, podcast host, and television personality, and has even earned her the distinction of being ranked as the 23rd most viewed woman on LinkedIn worldwide and #1 most viewed Asian American woman nationwide with 16 million+ views per month.
