In this episode, our guest, Cynthia Pong, joins us for a discussion on redefining leadership and building your career insurance for women of color.
Cynthia Pong, JD, is an award-winning career and leadership coach, speaker, and author of Don't Stay in Your Lane: The Career Change Guide for Women of Color.
An NYU-trained lawyer turned career coach, she founded her company, Embrace Change, to help women of color—and people of color—secure the money, power, and respect they deserve.
Cynthia has been featured in The Atlantic, NBC, CBS, and NPR. She has shared a virtual stage with Magic Johnson and is a LinkedIn Top Voice for Job Search and Career.
She shares insights on the significance of visibility, challenging societal norms, and creating one's own path beyond the constraints traditionally set for women of color.
Cynthia also shares her journey from being an NYU-trained lawyer to a celebrated coach and emphasizes the importance of finding one's community, understanding personal values, and taking initiative as key components of effective leadership.
