The Tao of Self-Confidence

A Guide to Moving Beyond Trauma and Awakening the Leader Within

De: Sheena Yap Chan

Narrado por: Raechel Wong

A guide for Asian women to tap into their confidence, joy, and shine as leaders in today's world

In 2021, women represented 54.3% of the US workforce but only held 35% of senior leadership positions. Of that percentage, only 2.7% of Asian women were seen in management roles. While there have been great leaps for women in the workplace in the last decade, women of color still fall behind. The Tao of Self-Confidence book sets a foundation to help Asian women start being seen as leaders in work and life rather than by our stereotypes. In order to move forward with true confidence, we must learn the lessons our challenges have taught us and heal our trauma.

With an honest and vulnerable approach, Yap Chan discusses and explores the specific challenges our community faces, historically and now in the midst of the pandemic, intergenerational and historical trauma, false stories we tell ourselves, and how we can rise above stereotypes. We'll tap into our inner joy, celebrate our authentic self, and awaken the leader within.

It’s a refreshing, eye-opening, jaw-dropping, informative, and empowering read. Sheena dives deep into our cultural roots and calls out how we’ve failed women, particularly Asian women, in our expectation and ideologies of them. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a man, woman, Asian or other, everyone can relate to at least one of the topics discussed in this book. At the end of the read, my confidence boosted and I was ready to say, “Watch out world, because change is coming!”
