?? Lack of Visibility is Holding Asian Women Back ?? For many Asian women, gaining visibility in the workplace remains a significant challenge. Cultural conditioning to stay humble, unconscious biases, or internal struggles with self-advocacy often result in Asian women being unseen, unheard, and overlooked. The cost of low visibility? Missed promotions. Unheard ideas. Stalled career growth. Why does visibility matter? But it doesn’t have to stay this way. Being seen and heard isn’t just about personal success. It’s about reclaiming your power, accelerating your career, and paving the way for others to follow. That’s why the AWE Network | Asian Women Empowerment Network was founded: to increase the visibility of Asian women and empower them to be seen as impactful and authentic leaders. Your voice matters. Together, our voices matter. To kickstart your journey towards greater visibility in 2025, Denise Ang, Founder of the AWE Network, is partnering with Marriot Winquist, PCC, Executive Coach and Former Tech Executive, to host a Free Lightning Lesson:? Asian Women Leaders: Get Your Voice Heard in 2025 Date: Wednesday, Dec 11 Time: 12 pm - 12.30 pm PT Featured in Maven's Momentum 2025 What you’ll gain in just 30 minutes: 1) Understand the Cultural Challenges: Discover the cultural stereotypes and barriers that have kept you from speaking up and being heard. 2) Master 5 Ways to Speak Up: Get actionable strategies to boost your confidence and ensure your voice is heard. 3) Expert Insights: Live Q&A for practical tips to amplify your voice in 2025. Bonus: For those who join us live, we’ll stay an extra 30 minutes after the Lightning Lesson to answer your questions and provide personalized advice and coaching tailored to your unique challenges. Whether you're struggling to be heard in meetings, hesitating to challenge ideas, or feeling invisible in leadership conversations, this Lightning Lesson is your turning point.

?? Are You an Asian Woman Facing These Challenges? ?? - Feeling overlooked and unseen as a leader despite your achievements - Struggling to increase your visibility but feeling inauthentic being loud and assertive - Burning out from people-pleasing and taking on too much while being humble and respectful of hierarchy - Finding it hard to find role models who look like you and sponsors who will champion your growth You're not alone!

The “broken rung” in the corporate ladder is still broken–especially for women of color. In 2018, for every 100 men who received their first promotion to manager in 2018, 79 women were promoted; this year, just 81 women were. This phenomenon is even worse for women of color, who represent only 7 percent of current C-suite positions—just a four-percentage-point increase since 2017. Women continue to see their gender and race as barriers to advancement. And women of color are more likely today to say their race has played a role in missing out on opportunities. For example, 39% of Asian women say their race has played a role in missing out on opportunities in 2024. Despite these barriers, women remain highly ambitious—and just as ambitious as men. However, at the current pace of progress, it would take 22 years for white women to reach parity—and it would take more than twice as long for women of color. Put another way, it would take 48 years for the representation of white women and women of color in senior leadership to reflect their share of the US population; this is true parity for all women. This latest research from Women in the Workplace 10th Anniversary report by McKinsey & Company x LeanIn presents a sobering reality. More needs to be done to support women’s advancement in the workplace! https://lnkd.in/g6fEVapB #women #womenofcolor #career #leadership #diversityandinclusion

Do you feel under-appreciated, under-resourced, and over-stressed? “[You] have to influence in every direction, saddled with an undoable workload, often under-resourced, under-appreciated, and over-stressed. Surrounded, but alone.” - Scott Mautz, Leading from the Middle This isn't just in your head. Studies reveal that middle managers are the most depressed and least engaged group. For Asian women, the hurdles are even higher: we have less than half the chance of being promoted to executive positions compared to other ethnic-gender groups — a higher chance of being stuck in the middle. Managing up, down, and across effectively is very challenging. While management training exists, it rarely addresses the unique challenges faced by "middle" managers, especially Asian women. The AWE Network | Asian Women Empowerment Network is excited to invite you to the first-ever Virtual Speed Networking Event specifically for Asian Women Middle Managers on October 5, 2024. This is a unique opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges, exchange strategies, and build a peer support network that extends beyond the event. ??
