It usually takes a few sessions after I start working with a new client before we establish a level of trust to go deep and personal. For those of you who have been following me for awhile, I think it\u2019s time for me to share more personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2020, my wife and I arrived in Canada with a few suitcases and our 1-year old son. That\u2019s over two decades ago and wherever I travel to in the world, when I board a flight to Vancouver, I feel like I am coming home. I feel at home because I know the names of the birds. I know when, where, and how to catch the fish. This year, I caught my first kokanee and I smoked trout for the very first time. And I know the people, the neighbours I live around, the colleagues I have worked with, and the friends I\u2019ve made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I launched my coaching practice, there were some who told me that no one will buy from me because I was Asian. That even though I feel at home, others still think I don\u2019t belong and don\u2019t have much to offer. At one time I used to believe that of myself. Youtube would suggest Asian creators and I would scroll past them initially. Then I discovered Rodney Hsu of FishingWithRod who taught me how to fish. When I wanted to learn how to play Mamma Mia on the guitar, I found Sungha Jung and years later, drove 3 hours to see him live in concert. Now I am cooking restaurant quality dishes from Randy Lau\u2019s MadeWithLau channel. They inspire me as much as Reina del Cid (indie singer-songwriter) and Colin Hay who went from lead-singer of MenAtWork to nobody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodney Hsu gave me the courage to launch my website and put myself out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reina del Cid told me to just record my songs and post them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colin Hay, whom I have yet to meet in person, gave me the determination to present to an audience of one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruce Lee, whom I will never meet in person, encourages me to express what is worthwhile about myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I have one more reason to feel at home. I feel accepted by my clients who are Asian, Black, African, Caucasian, East Indian, and Middle Eastern based in Asia, Africa, North America, Europe, and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it\u2019s just not true that no one will engage my services because I am an Asian immigrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t matter that others don\u2019t choose you. What matters is that you choose yourself. That is the key to unlocking your full potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
