About this episode

If you are looking for other Asian-hosted and Asian-produced podcasts, then you’d want to subscribe to Rock the Boat. We have today Lucia and Lynne, the power ladies behind this amazing show. You’ll get to hear why gathering communities is important in the causes we believe in. And also the double whammy Asian women have to deal with in the corporate world: think glass ceiling and bamboo ceiling, the latter being something Lucia will explain more in this episode.

What you'll learn

How to find your purpose and start things based on your own needs
What it means to gather communities and the effects it has on the causes we believe in
What the bamboo ceiling is, and why rocking the boat is the answer to breaking through it
The double whammy Asian women get in the corporate world
How to be intentional when it comes to checking in with your chief best friend
Why knowing a person holistically help you better understand and better communicate with them
The importance of having boundaries and mutual respect in order to have the best working relationship with your chief best friend

I have gotten my most important lessons by working with others. I have never gotten my most major epiphanies by working in isolation.
