AWA - AsianWorkingAs

In this extra special episode I catch up with my long lost dancing pal Angeline straight from South Korea. Angeline shares her experience working as a neonatal nurse and tells us how things are working as a NICU nurse. We also dive into her reasons for taking a career break as well as her wider journey in South Korea so far.  

Natalie Cheung (@yellowbeepod) is an award winning leader passionate about youth development and EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion). In this episode, we talk about how she became a Ted-Ed Speaker, how to build leadership skills, the importance of learning and keeping an open mind.

In this off-season special episode, I’m joined by Lemeeka Rana who is a Solution Engineer at Salesforce, podcast host and #IamRemarkable facilitator. We discuss confidence, self-promotion, rejection, comparison and much more. No scripts, not rehearsed, just an honest and chill chat about how to grow and glow in life. Recording this ep with Meeks was such a blessing and I took away a lot of life lessons from her. I would also highly recommend her podcast @selfdevsundayss  

Listen in to hear us talk about things we learned in our 20s. We cover life and career in general and share our own experiences and lessons. Everyone has their own journey but it's always fun to share things we know and grow together!

Thank you all for listening x

Deeya Pun talks about how she got into the world of acting in Nepal and gives an insight into the hard work that goes behind making a movie from working long days, doing research and post-production. Majority of her experience has been very positive but she is very honest about the fact that it’s not always a smooth journey in this field and shares a personal story about a negative experience she faced, which taught her a lot about this industry - the good and bad.

In this episode, I talk to my good friend Rimona about her experience working as a Pharmacist and then switching to the world of Consultancy. We discuss the reasons behind her career change, her current role as a Junior Consultant at Atkins and adapting to a completely new work environment. It was also great to touch on diversity within workplace and the differences she experienced working within these two different industries.

It's not easy creating a sustainable fashion brand from scratch but Jyoti persisted and started Highonfleurs despite the obstacles that came her way.
