F'ing Up with Wen Hsu - S2 E4
About Wen Hsu
As an immigrant woman who spent 15+ years in the engineering leadership role in the tech industry, Wen Hsu knows intimately the challenge that immigrant women experience. She lost herself in the quest of climbing the corporate ladder, felt the need to show up in a certain way to gain the recognition she deserved, exhausted from the constant need to prove herself. As she continued advancing in her career, she felt a part of her being rejected and unfulfilled.
That’s why she turned inward to rediscover her authentic self, challenge the norms, and craft her own career path! Wen is now the best selling author of Inspiring Women Professionals Who BossUp, Founder of Wen Coaching.
Now, as a career and leadership coach, Wen is on a mission to empower other immigrant women leaders to be more confident, influential, and strategic in shattering the career ceiling as they let go of the cultural conditioning. As a result, these women get better titles, higher pay, and more importantly, a more fulfilling life!
