Agenda

Interested in a career outside of the corporate world? Join us for a panel discussion to take a peek at the non-traditional career path in the public sector, entrepreneurship, and non-for-profit organizations.

This panel discussion will upward mobility opportunities and challenges for Pan-Asians across industries and career levels, impart tangible solutions to advancement barriers, and celebrate our individual and collective successes, resilience and ingenuity.

Learning & Development: Personal Branding for Pan-Asians

Is your leadership strength and potential visible and sought after within your organization? To clearly differentiate your value and what you bring to the table, you need to do more than have a good reputation. As an AAPI professional, navigating the workplace can be uniquely challenging, making it even more crucial to cultivate and project a powerful personal brand. This session explores ways to define, redefine, and live out your personal brand.

Fireside Chat: Insights with Leaders

Leadership is less about a formal position and more about the act of leading. We all have the chance to lead. Listen in on a fireside chat with AAPI leaders as we discuss the uniqueness of everyone’s leadership journey and how can we help people be their best selves. 

Panel Discussion: Diverse Pathways to Success: Navigating Entrepreneurship, Public Service, and Non-Profit Opportunities
