I hope you have enjoyed sipping some pumpkin spice latte during this #backtoschool season. But learning never stops after you graduate. Hopefully you also picked up a few lessons from watching/listening to this month’s SCALE UP!
I am incredibly honored to have 3 CEO & founders coming to the show this month, In case you haven’t noticed, this months’ scaling lesson is all about 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘. From resisting to fully embracing and leveraging her unique identity as a first generation Asian female leader, Christine Tao broke barriers from those traditional male-dominant management norms, to lead through authenticity and vulnerability.
Adam Gordon opened up so bravely about his childhood traumas, suffering from ADHD and the sense of abandonment growing up. These struggles fueled his relentless, entrepreneurial drive to prove the world wrong. By sharing his most vulnerable self, Adam touched the hearts of many investors, users, and listeners with his inspiring story.
Lastly, we have Daniel J West, who candidly reflects on his learning now being CEO first-hand, of not being patient enough with the business leaders at the time as an HR partner.
Reed Hastings said, "you have no hope if you are not being authentic." But the very first step is to embrace and acknowledge that you are who you are. You can be great at certain things, you will also struggle at others. But people respond to every part of you if you let them, but also the pain, struggles, blood -and-tears you've endured, because that is what makes you whole.
Huge thanks to this month's special guest, François Picard, sharing his hard-earned product scaling lesson on "𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲". Next month, we are returning back to Asia with exciting discussions around DEI, remote-working and sounding advice for our #genz audience who might be disheartened with the challenging graduate job markets.
