Moments

I am on the executive board of the Student & Alumni Advisory Board of the Jack Welch Management Institute.  I graduated from JWMI December of 2017.  When I was considering enrolling for the executive MBA program back in 2014, many people advised me against it, quoting that I am a very experienced leader and management, and really would not be able to learn anything from the school.  After being in the program, I would have to say that they are quite wrong. Although I knew the material quite well, given that I was a Business major in my undergraduate study, I learned so much more from the program.  With my work experience, and along with the class materials, discussions among the class, and many case studies, my learning amplified tremendously. I am grateful to Jack Welch and Suzy Welch to have developed this very affordable, remote learning eMBA program.  So many people can really take advantage and grow from this program.  I hope to be able to contribute and do my part to h

The one good thing about being your own boss is that you have pretty good control of how you use your time.  Last Friday, I was invited to be on the panel of Standford's Women in Data Science event.  It was quite honored to be invited to speak at the panel, and really glad to have the opportunities to meet with quite a few people.  I hope I can broaden my reach and get some potential business leads from these connections.  But, promoting women in STEM, and speaking at events to share my experience climbing the corporate ladder is something I love to do more.  I hope I get more opportunities to speak, and teach to help promoting the cause.

All my life, I do what is expected of me.  I studied hard, and did very well in school.  I worked hard and did very well in my career.  I worked for corporate, because I did not have the stomach to take the risk to start and run my own business.  God has always been kind to me.  Very often, at some life defining moments, God pushes me to get out of my comfort zone and leap frog to the next step.  Starting my own business is hard.  I know I am competent, and better than many people in my industry.  But, in business, being competent in what you do is not enough.  You got to connect, get the right people who will trust you and you business enough to buy your products and services. People are not often as helpful as you would expect them to be.  It is very much easier to talk than to walk.  And sometimes, they don't even want to talk.  It is at that moment, I realize that not everyone remember and appreciate all the good deeds you have done to help them in their career enough to tak

I stopped blogging many years ago, because my older boy did not like to see tidbits of his life in public.  He actually asked me to unfriend his classmates on Facebook since his friends often got to know my where about in details before he did from the Facebook feeds (I was a heavy travelers then, and even more now).   But, what is my life about if I don't talk about my boys and my husband?  So, I stopped blogging. I do not blog because I want readership.  I blog because I want to write down my feeling somewhere.  Can I have a secret diary?  Of course I can, and I used to have one when I was in elementary school.  But, I really do not care for privacy.  I am an open book.  I love my life, my family, my friends and everything about me and what's surrounding me.  I am a person of integrity, and do right in accordance to my standards (I don't care much about other people's standards).  There is nothing for me to hide, but a lot for me to share.  My love for life, my life
