KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Model minority - high achieving, hard working, very ethical - lots of pressure that comes with this but we still face barriers in the workplace.

Bamboo ceiling - the barriers that Asian Americans face in the workplace in achieving the top leadership roles, despite the fact they are more than well qualified and have the skills. They can be visible or invisible.

57% of Asian American women say the “bamboo ceiling” has effected their careers.

Conversation is the key, including men, with moving forward.

Treat people how they want to be treated and recognizing the individual preferences because they matter.

Every day we need to strive to inspire, uplift and encourage another human being. As a human being, we have a duty to help each other. Whether you’re climbing or whether you’re falling, you can do it.

DEI is about doing something simple every day.

How are you doing? Going off agenda and having a moment for everyone to share what’s going on with them and what do they feel. When you make the space for people to share their opinions on things that are impacting them. And asking how can we support you?

Reading articles, attending webinars, listening to podcasts, connecting to thought leaders, staying informed. Read papers from people who are positive.

I stay away from people who are filled with hate and incivility.

Be vocal about why DEI matters to you.
