Amotions Founding Story and Mission

Founding Story

Reflecting on my own journey, the internet and technology were powerful in transforming my life, as was human kindness. I remember being an elementary school student in my rural village house in Taishan, China, observing my parents. One worked in a factory, the other one at a store, both working 7-days a week to provide the resources for my education and well-being. I thought I would study as hard as I could to have better lives for myself and my family. When I was in high school, we got the internet. The internet lets me get information about the opportunities to study at universities around the world and get in touch with professors at top universities. Besides my family, there are a lot of mentors, extended family members, teachers, friends, colleagues, alumni, neighbors, and kind people who helped along the way throughout my school years and career.?

Amotions ?uses the internet and technology as a tool to connect users with knowledge, insights, peers, coaches, advisors, and mentors with industry experience and expertise. I struggled with leading teams and managing relationships early on in my career in product management in tech, after graduating from Yale with my master’s in sociology and a master’s thesis on social mobility and psychological well-being. I had the idea of building an AI virtual coach which can listen to me and give me tips when I am raising my voice and say “Seems like you are getting upset, take a deep breath, calm down first, so you are not getting into an argument with your coworkers and destroy your relationships.” Then as I discussed the idea with the team members and potential users and customers, I realized that we can also utilize the power of a human support system.

Journey to Success

As we progress to do more teamwork and collaboration, there’s an increasing need for us to work better with others. Helping people develop self-awareness, emotional intelligence, interpersonal skills, and leadership skills is a starting point for Amotions.

However, we aim for more. We want to provide the platform and support network for everyone to continue to grow themselves and extend their potentials, both professionally and personally, and learn various skills. We mean everyone - our solutions should be available and affordable for people across various social-economic circumstances and around the world.?

As a mother, I want my son to have the self-motivation and support network to grow himself, and have great relationships in his professional and personal life. I hope to create the kind of environment needed for him and many others. The world will be a better place when a lot of people are happy with their lives and care about each other.?

Mission Statement

We created Amotions to help as many people as we can to be happy and successful in their life, feel loved, love themselves and others, to hopefully improve millions of people’s lives.

We believe that each person can grow, and has unlimited potentials. We are also certain about the powerful positive impact of the internet and technology, education, human kindness, and love. We are hoping to leverage technology and kind human communities to provide support, love, empathy, nourishment, and encouragement for each person to flourish.?

Sometimes when we are discouraged, all we need is a little understanding, encouragement, support, and self-reflection. Self-motivation is important, and getting help and helping others is important too. There are a lot of obstacles and challenges in life, and we want to be able to help ourselves and millions of people develop the skills needed to face them, and the community and support network to overcome them.

Our goal is to help everyone to develop the skills and motivations needed to be successful and happy in their work and lives and have fulfilling relationships.
