Many of us who are in business will experience a plateau at some point in our journey,
Like we’re stuck without feeling a good sense of direction on where we want to go, and that feeling stays with us unless we make necessary changes.
Something interesting happens when we allow ourselves to build up the inertia of feeling stuck, and not seeking help to make changes.
We started to feel
Anxious,
Un-productive,
Un-motivated,
Fizzled, and
A loss of faith.
You too, can come to a plateau on your journey.
Your confidence could be shaken;
Your energy could be experiencing big dips, and
You might be working in a grinding mode, due to circumstantial, unexpected business or life changes.
So, if you…
…are a corporate warrior-turned woman business owner,
a resilient woman founder, or
a high-achieving woman leader,
seeking to re-invigorate and transform your business with exponential impact,
…want to avoid burnouts and maintain your energy system,
…want to share your human story that builds trust,
…want to be vision- and mission-focused,
…want to have clarity and direction,
…are ready to foster innovation and lean into possibilities over the next 8 weeks,
…are committed and coachable
…want to have fun along the way, and
…are looking for genuine, 1:1 coaching guidance

 Beginning of a New Year always seems to usher us into making new plans, that we might not have spent enough time to reflect on:
the path that we want take
the impact that we’re here to make,
and have our future be closer and fully expressed in present time.
We need to set aside quiet time to strategize on our business and personal priorities.
One of my ex-bosses used to coach me that “strategy” is about “prioritization.”
Is it about prioritizing your activities to achieve your goals?
Or
Is it about prioritizing your energy on where you need to spend time in realizing your goals?
“Energy” sounds more exciting, because it’s something that we can put a value on, like we provide energy in the form of a service, creation of a product, or both, to satisfy needs of others.
So my entire marketing plan for 2023 will be focusing on where to spend my energy on:
client projects
business and personal growth, and
when to slow down to fill my cup and have some play time.
It’s like painting a new canvas:
adding colors to places where I want to create impact,
harnessing my superpower,
seeking truth,
serving others at highest level, and
nurturing exponential professional and personal development.
The outcome will be a much happier me, knowing that I will be able to commit to what I’ve set out to do, when I need to let off the gas pedal, and when I need to intensify my efforts.
Do you see yourself in this picture?
If you do, go and prioritize where you’ll spend your energy in 2023!
Because at the end of the day,
your energy will take you on your paths to professional and personal fulfillment,
that will give you ultimate happiness and achieve authentic well-being.
  I SEEK
to encourage humans to believe in their potentials, follow their instincts, pursue their passions, look for opportunities to collaborate, be kind and be curious, and always have a sense of humor.
I STRIVE
to be a role model for my people by living out my values, standing up for what is right and what I believe in deeply, seeing good in myself and those of others, forgiving the hurt with grace, and speaking freely from my heart.
I LOVE
helping humans see their inherent worth, love themselves and one another, challenge the status quo, find happiness from within, focus energy on things worth doing and doing them well, and never give up until you’ve exhausted all possible options.
I CRAVE
to show humans about being honest with themselves, seeking truth when there’s darkness, casting light to give hopes, believing in their superpower, and trusting one another as humans.
Because…
I BELIEVE in a world where every human is able
live out their full potential,
do meaningful work,
find their own voice,
speak freely from their heart, and
innovate on their own entrepreneurial path to personal fulfillment, helping others, and living a life of kindness, collaboration, and peace.
Branding and marketing have been my two loves.
I’ve crafted a new, online workshop: Building Your Authentic Personal Brand, in collaboration with the San Mateo Small Business Development Center (SBDC).
The workshop was catered to business owners who wish to start investing time in building their authentic personal brands, and elevating them to become assets for their companies.
Our first workshop on June 29 went really well. Nothing beats having an audience who was willing to invest in themselves, engaged with me in doing deep dives, and learning about what it means to build an Authentic Personal Brand.
We did exercises doing deep dives in these areas:
- Defining what it means to be an Authentic Personal Brand
- Getting to know who you are at a deeper level
- Amplifying your personal brands with powerful stories
- Utilizing technology and tools to manage content cadence
Participants took away a framework and valuable nuggets that they can apply in building and developing their authentic personal brands in the space of their choosing.
Here’s what the audience said live during and post workshop session:
Are You Ready for a Change?
 You’re innovative, and driven with a strong purpose.
You’ve a deep passion for things you love.
You want a business that helps you thrive, without sacrificing your inherent worth and your health.

I grew up in a middle-class family.
At a young age, my world was turned upside down with the fall of Saigon in April 1975.
My parents took us four kids and fled the country. We left Vietnam safely, but we lost everything.
 For my dad, it was his entire business — something that he had built since he was 16.
We had to rebuild our life in America.
Acclimating to the new culture and a new language was not easy for us in the beginning. But as young kids, we adapted quickly and assimilated well into the American society.
I carried a pocket dictionary with me at all times, because I felt a strong desire to fit in, and be able to understand and speak the language fluently.
My parents, however, had experienced their shares of hardships and struggles.
Growing up in America gave me the freedom to speak freely, and I have found a place in my heart to honor this privilege to its fullest.
Often, I helped my dad translate and edit letters that he wrote to company executives where he asked to represent them as their import/export agent in the U.S. – a dream that my dad had never let up.
Through letter writing for dad, I was able to amplify his voice, and found great satisfaction in me that I helped him communicate effectively.
The confidence in my own voice grew steadily over the years.
That confidence of language fluency led me to be nominated as the valedictorian for my graduating class in middle school, something that I still feel over the moon about.
Since that time, I’ve continued to nurture my new-found voice, and speak freely from my heart, on things that I deeply believe in and care about.
A new year comes with new momentum, new thinking and new energy!
As we march into a new 2022…
* Have we given ourselves time to celebrate the human from within?
* Have we allowed ourselves to do deep dives and define what impact and joy that we want to bring to our life, our work, and our vision for the future?
In the past few weeks, I’ve the opportunity to do just that.
Connecting with my journey, from a young age to where I am today.
Unpacking and reflecting on emotions and pains that lie deep within me,
things that were buried because they are difficult to talk about,
things that were worthy yet I don’t talk enough about them,
things that had shaped my journey and are essential building blocks of who I am today, how I show up, and how I help others.
It has been one of the most liberating experiences that I’ve ever felt🌠
Liberating in a sense that I feel that I am being understood.
Liberating in a way that it unpacks pains that I’ve buried deep inside, and now I’ve given them a life and meaning.
Liberating because I feel complete and whole.
And exhilarating because I now have clarity in
my vision, value proposition, and personal story,
to empower the type of work that I want to do,
gathering all that I’ve learned and known into a product,
to help others who are on a similar journey as I am.
More soon…🚀🚀

When I was a young marketer just getting out of business school from UC Berkeley, I sought employment intentionally with big brands who have great reputation, run by leaders who have great visions.
I was drawn to their artfully-crafted, bold visions and the way how they put their visions into meaningful actions.
Today, after having worked with big brands and advising numerous entrepreneurs, I get to create my own vision, aligning with values close to heart, speaking to the truth, and committing my personal growth and business to what I strongly believe in.
My vision serves as a compass that will guide my work, and give me the energy to feed my mind, body, and soul.
Here’s the Vision that I am committing to:
“I believe in a world where every human is able
live out their full potential,
do meaningful work,
find their own voice,
speak freely from their heart, and
innovate their own entrepreneurial path to personal fulfillment, helping others,
and living a life of kindness, collaboration, and peace.”
What are yours? Love to hear some!

The pandemic, in a big way, has accelerated the pace of long-form content consumption for workers, professionals, and students alike, due to remote working arrangements and online distance learning.
Can you imagine that long-form reading fatigue could affect a normal person’s academic or work performance?
Now imagine someone who has a learning disability or visual impairment and struggled with reading. How would they be impacted?
Up to now, there has not been a tool designed to improve the cognitive efficiency of reading on-screen, and to make the process easier, faster, and more enjoyable for readers at all levels.
BeeLine Reader, a young start-up based in Menlo Park, California, recognizes the pain point of long-form reading fatigue, which affects multiple population groups, ranging from normal people, people with learning differences and visual impairment, to students coping with increased reading loads.
Improving On-Screen Reading Ability for All
 Nick Lum, Founder, BeeLine Reader BeeLine Reader’s Founder, Nick Lum, is a former Mountain View resident. Lum worked as a corporate lawyer before he embarked on his entrepreneurial journey as the Founder of BeeLine Reader. Because of his personal experience in dealing with reading fatigue, from reading legal and business documents on screen for many hours every day, Lum saw an opportunity to develop a solution that would make reading easier, by displaying text using eye-guiding color gradients. He teamed with his cousin, Andrew Cantino, a software developer, and launched a browser plugin that applies BeeLine’s reading technology to website text. This technology also benefits users reading downloaded PDFs or on mobile devices.
Primary functions of BeeLine Reader include: helping maintain focus while reading, decreasing visual fatigue, and improving the accessibility of text for people with learning differences or visual impairment.
“BeeLine Reader takes the visual tracking aspect of your eye movement while reading and automates it. So your brain spends less efforts in keeping track of where your eyes should be. Instead, it allows you to allocate more cognitive resources to other reading-related sub-tasks, such as comprehending and analyzing what you’re reading,” said Lum.
 According to Lum, readers can customize the way how BeeLine Reader operates, from choosing the color gradient that they like best to deciding which websites it should run on.
“For many people, BeeLine Reader fundamentally changes their ability to read. After they’ve experienced this new, easier way of reading, they don’t want to go back to reading plain black text again,” said Lum.
In addition to functioning as a browser plugin and an app, BeeLine Reader also licenses its patented technology to companies of all sizes. Licensees have found that their users who activated BeeLine Reader’s feature ended up reading more on their platforms than other users who didn’t.
Creating Social and Human Impact
BeeLine Reader’s simple technology goes beyond the accessibility benefits for readers who get fatigued due to heavy-reading loads. The company has received feedback from users with learning disabilities like dyslexia and ADHD, indicating that BeeLine Reader is extremely helpful in making reading easier and more enjoyable.
In addition to social impact, the technology indirectly helps those who might feel that they are never good enough of a reader to see their potential as efficient readers. This type of encouragement can boost a person’s self-esteem and help them achieve better work or academic performance.
 “A great example of BeeLine Reader’s impact is echoed through our successful pilot program with Blackboard Ally, who strives to provide a more inclusive learning for all types of learners. The feedback from the pilot was so successful that Blackboard Ally ended the pilot early in order to expedite a full release of BeeLine’s feature to all users,” said Lum.
“Feedback like this is what keeps me energized — nothing is more satisfying than getting an email from a BeeLine user whose life has been changed by our simple tool.”
BeeLine Reader has won several notable awards for social impact, including a recent award from the MIT Solve Global Competition. Its technology was one of a handful selected for the Digital Inclusion Global Challenge, out of hundreds of applicants worldwide.
Previously, BeeLine Reader has won awards from the UN Solutions Summit and The Tech Museum of Innovation (now The Tech Interactive).
Looking ahead, BeeLine Reader will continue to grow their impact globally and in local communities. To learn more about BeeLine Reader’s tools or partnership opportunities, visit www.beelinereader.com
