Asian Americans Suffer From An Age 30 Problem
Many Asian Americans go to the best schools and get into the top companies.
But then, at just the age when we should take advantage of all that education and hard work to soar...
We plummet.
Across Corporate America, Asians are the group least likely to ascend, despite all that education and hard work.

In your 30s, you could be losing out on tens of thousands of dollars each year.
In your 40s and 50s, that could rise to hundreds of thousands each year. Over your career, you could be losing out on millions.
Since in the U.S., wealth is built generationally, the lost earnings and opportunities for you and your family are huge.
Beyond the financial implications, when you start out in life with so much potential, and then watch your future shrivel, that can result in a huge amount of frustration, disappointment, and even shame.
At the heart of the problem? A culture gap.

Joy Chen 陈愉
As a child of immigrants, I know how it feels to be an outsider. After many awkward encounters and with the help of key mentors, I've now worked at the top of 3 industries on 3 continents.
- At age 31, I was appointed Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, where I led the upskilling and integration of a workforce speaking 90+ languages.
- Then, I became an executive search leader at Heidrick & Struggles, and for 7 years found CEOs and Board members for Fortune 500 companies.
- Then, I started a careers blog, which went viral –in China, launching me there as a leadership guru and founder of a global training company which served millions.
Now, I'm back in the USA.
And I'm here to help you develop leaders who leverage the full power and potential of all your people.
