The Power of the Only Angela Chee

"Fulfillment, success on your own terms, knowing you already have everything you need is what I believe and what I preach, but on some days living and feeling it is much harder." - Angela Chee
Are you enough? When is it enough?
Today is all about the power of being enough. We are all tired right now - especially the Onlys. This is an opportunity for you to ask yourself what you are striving for and to reconsider if your goals are still serving you.
"Why do we have to strive so much?" - Angela Chee
In this episode, we begin to reconsider our go-getter mindsets and discuss how to move forward for the right reasons.
Listen in to learn Angela's new definition of success as it relates to our achievements.
"There is nothing to prove. There never has been." - Angela Chee
Show Notes: What is the link between success and achievement Should we be constantly striving for self-improvement What is the fifth principle of the power of the only How to stop striving for achievement What is Angela's new definition of success "At some point what serves a motivator can ultimately lead to a breakdown." - Angela Chee

"The opportunity I feel in being the power of the Only is extending agency to those that should be in the room, but aren’t." - Alicin Reidy Williamson
What are you trying to shift and what is holding you back?
What is agency? Today I discuss this question with Alicin Reidy Williamson, Yahoo’s Chief Culture and Diversity Officer. Alicin says it’s all too easy for many of us to forget the power we already have and says it is important to remember and celebrate who we are.
"I didn't know where I wasn't supposed to be." - Alicin Reidy Williamson
Listen in to the lessons learned as she navigated a career in the entertainment, sports, fashion, political, and non-profit fields.  Her ambition took her from MTV Networks to Managing Principal at the national public policy firm Raben Group and then the Chief Inclusion Officer at Endeavor. 
We talk about her vision for her current role at Yahoo and how to harness our agency. We also discuss how to navigate difficult conversations, share advice for our younger selves, and explain how the diversity and inclusion sector is changing.
"I focus on relieving that burden in others." - Alicin Reidy Williamson

How can we proactively begin to step into our unique power?
Today's guest Henna Pryor is, like me, a daughter of immigrant parents. She is a Workplace Performance Expert, an award-winning two-time TEDx speaker, and a professional executive coach.

"Place small bets and do it awkward!" - Henna Pryor
Listen in to today's show as Henna shares tips for a successful TED Talk and we discuss the journey to find the source of our confidence. We also dive into the topics of enoughness, imagined potential, and more.

"Downshifting your ambitions doesn’t necessarily mean you are throwing away your past or becoming a slacker. It may actually mean that you’ve finally recognized what it takes for achievement and ambition to be sustainable." - Dorie Clark
What does it mean to always be ready?
Today I talk about how to embrace not being ready. At the start of every new year, it can be all too easy to bog ourselves down with newly formed goals and deadlines, and plans. It can be much harder to purposefully slow down and simplify, but maybe that is just what we need right now. Maybe we don't need to always be ready.
"Maybe to start the new year, we don't need another goal or another list." - Angela Chee
In today's show, I talk about giving ourselves permission to slow down and times when the power of The Only can be both a blessing and a burden.  I share how I discovered my strong suit can also be my weakness and how we can all discover what doesn't serve us and let it go.
"Maybe we don't need more. Maybe we need different." - Angela Chee
Show Notes: How to embrace not being ready What does it mean to always be ready How to give yourself permission to slow down What does real personal growth look like Is it okay to not always be ready When can the power of The Only be a weakness "The true power of the only is not always doing it alone."- Angela Chee
