71% of Asian American adults over age 25 were born in another country. And most Asian Americans who were born in the U.S. are the kids of those immigrants. So, even if they speak native-level English, most were raised in Asian ways.
Since only 17% of all American adults are immigrants, most American companies by Western norms.
To succeed, one must behave according to unwritten rules and norms by which most Americans were raised, but which are very different from the way most Asian Americans were raised.

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.
