Ep. 23: Career & Entrepreneurship Advice from Serial Entrepreneur and Career Coach Joyce Guan West (Pt. 2)

What's holding Asian-Americans back from the top levels of leadership in the workplace? How can you be more valued (make more $) in your career? How do you sell yourself without being slimy?

Join me for an interview with top-rated career coach and serial entrepreneur Joyce Guan West as we tackle these questions.

Joyce has launched 6 companies and sold a recent one for several million dollars. And Joyce's latest venture is Coaching with Empathy, a career coaching company that specializes in helping Asian-American women level up, especially into the C-suite.

One of Joyce's key skills is selling, both herself and her businesses. But Joyce wasn't always this confident and outspoken; in fact, she used to be painfully shy.

Listen in as Joyce shares her journey and along the way, drops many pearls of career wisdom specifically aimed at Asian-American women.

(Note: Audio quality is imbalanced so it may be hard to hear Joyce if you're in a car. It may be better to listen in a quieter environment. We'll work on preventing this for future episodes.)
