Happy Monday Friends! I haven’t posted in a while because honestly, I have been quietly plotting my next move.?Like too many of us out there, I was impacted by a layoff in my last role. After countless coffees, meetings, interviews, consulting projects and networking with lovely people who totally dug what I brought to the table yet role/timing/values/etc. didn’t align, I got real with myself.?I decided the next chapter MUST do 3 things (otherwise: keep on walkin’): Work stuff: leverage my strategic and creative expertise, expand my network and offer exposure to broader sectors of industry. People stuff: enable connections with dynamic, sharp, kind and genuine people from varied backgrounds whom I can learn from and have FUN with. Life stuff: offer a culture that embodies the values and boundaries I have around family and personal well being. (Probably the toughest ask of the three.) Enter Pinnacle Performance Group, where I recently joined as Director, Consulting + Client Services (check us out below!). Will it be uncomfortable to learn new significant areas of practice beyond retail / product design and development? Yes! (Still consulting there, too). Do I stand to massively stretch and grow??Hell yes! Does Pinnacle pass all my criteria and gut check??? Here’s to everyone navigating change.?The landscape looks very different than it did just a few short years ago and can leave you feeling vulnerable - despite how supported, successful or secure you may have felt in the past.?I’ve learned that by staying true to YOU, leaning into your network and - most importantly- being open to walking through new doors, you may find really cool things on the other side. Thanks to my peeps for the supportive messages below from Pinnacle’s post ??

Absolutely loving our new brand, check out the blog post below for all of the exciting details!

Promoting from within is more than just filling a role—it's about showing your team that growth and opportunity are genuinely on the table. When you elevate your existing talent, you’re not just finding someone who can do the job; you’re investing in someone who already understands the ins and outs of your company. They know the culture, the quirks, and the goals, which means they can hit the ground running with less of a learning curve. Plus, there’s something incredibly motivating about seeing a colleague rise through the ranks. In the long run, promoting from within builds a stronger, more cohesive team. It shows that you value your people and their potential, and it creates a culture where continuous learning and development are not just encouraged but expected. It’s a win for everyone involved—employees feel valued, and the company benefits from their deeper commitment and expertise. Congratulations Kate Foley Stitt!

Verizon, AT&T, Target, Neiman Marcus, Choice Hotels, Optum, Caterpillar, Pepsi, and others helped contribute to a successful event discussing all things planning at Globe Life Field.

It was truly a privilege to moderate such an special AAPI C-Suite event. A million heartfelt thank yous to Nikita Malhotra, David Angelo, and Jenn Wong for your precious time and brave honesty. The conversations we had were truly inspiring, giving many of us the stories we needed to hear to better understand our career path forward. And my deepest appreciation to Bernice Chao ?, Christina Lu, Meghna Kothari, Leisha Bereson, Genie Lara, Lawrence H., and Andrew Gelbart for all your Asians In Advertising leadership, support, and behind the scenes magic to help bring this virtual event to life. This community is truly a dream come true for Asians trying to break barriers. With so many great gems shared during our panel discussion, the lessons that deeply resonated with me: ?? There is no “one right” path, only the path that feels right to you. Listen to yourself – what really matters to you, what excites you and gives you energy, what motivates you to keep going. Only then can your exceptional gifts and talents take you farther than what you thought was possible. ?? Own who you are and let that shine. We are who raised us, how we grew up, and our what has happened to us. But we are also everything we set our mind to. Mindset matters. We can practice authentic leadership every day in our personal and professional life by embracing our roots and origin stories and giving others permission to do the same. ?? Be in the relationship and apprenticeship business. Don't let perfection and fear, be your enemy of progress. Your success isn't just about what you know—it's about who you know and how you grow. We thrive on connections, and these connections often open doors to new opportunities. Whether you're just starting out or aiming for the C-Suite, focus on building genuine relationships and seeking mentors who can guide your journey. Every great career is built on the foundation of strong self-awareness, authentic leadership, meaningful connections. As my dad would always write in my birthday cards growing up "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll fall among the stars." #CareerGrowth #Networking #Mentorship #AsianLeadership

Meet our NEW Managing Director... Today, I’m excited to share a huge moment for WeComm the appointment of Justin Hall as our new strategic leader and Managing Director. This decision didn’t come overnight. It’s the result of six months of deep reflection, not just about where the business is headed, but about my own journey. For years, I’d envisioned myself in this CEO role, believing that title was the ultimate achievement. But getting here and really living it, I’ve realized it’s not the end-all and actually not what is best for me, nor the business. This role requires a unique mix of skills, many of which I’m still developing. I've been so proud of the highs and the growth we've achieved, yet it's been the challenges and the soul-searching moments that taught me the most. When we began this search, I knew we needed someone who could bring people right to the heart of our business– to see us not as another transactional recruitment agency but as a true partner in retail and the value of its people. Retail is everything to us, and we’re committed to elevating the entire experience. I met some outstanding people along the way, yet there was always something missing. Then, I reconnected with Justin. Justin's remarkable career speaks for itself, but his impact on my own journey has been transformational. His people-first leadership style shaped my career in ways I’m incredibly grateful for, showing me that successful businesses are built by putting people at the centre of everything. Bringing him into WeComm means that our team will have the unique privilege of learning from one of the most genuine, people-focused leaders in the industry. His influence will be a game-changer for our culture and our mission. For me, this shift means I get to focus on what I love most – engaging with people, building lasting relationships, and innovating in the retail space without sacrificing the operational needs of the business and our biggest asset... People Please join me in welcoming Justin to the WeComm team.
