What’s the #1 missing element for leading inclusively?
Reckoning with our own power.
We harm others with our power without meaning to.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
We can flip our power into an unstoppable force for inclusion and belonging.

“When we all feel like we belong, we can tackle the world’s most vexing problems.”

About Me
I’ve led workshops and taught classes about leadership and employability to hundreds of professionals and university students from six continents.
A fluent Mandarin speaker, I’ve led educational ventures in China for Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University. I’ve worked with CEOs and city leaders. I’ve co-designed and delivered hundreds of workshops on global leadership and global diversity, equity, and inclusion. I’ve trained dozens of professionals to design and lead their own workshops. My Ph.D. in linguistics has sharpened my ear and eye for how language shapes our unconscious biases and other thought processes.
That’s why I do what I do: equip leaders and students with skills for building a more inclusive world — because only when we all feel like we belong can we unleash our individual and collective talents toward solving the world’s most vexing problems.
Work With Me
I equip employees, students, and leaders with the intercultural competency, self-awareness, and cross-cultural communications skills to help them get great jobs and excel in their career by better understanding themselves and others. Together, we can build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment.
