Session: Something's Off, And I Can't Name It
You're not failing. By every external measure, you're succeeding. And something's off.You can't quite name it. Most leadership talks won't help you, because they assume you already know what's wrong and just need a tactic. This one doesn't.
Wen Hsu is a Taiwanese-American leadership coach and former engineering leader with twenty years in tech. She works with immigrant women leaders (Directors, VPs, Senior Directors) who are accomplished, recognized, and quietly running on empty.
In this talk, she names the thing underneath the exhaustion. The invisible script that earned you every promotion. The one making the decisions you never thought to question.
You won't leave with a five-step framework. You'll leave with one question you won't stop thinking about. And language for something you've been carrying for years.
Key Takeaways
- You'll have language for something you've been carrying for years.
- You'll see what's yours and what was handed to you.
- You'll find a way to honor what shaped you without being run by it.
- You'll leave with one question you won't stop thinking about.
