Episode 101: You are not the problem, unlearning silence, advocating for yourself, letting go of suffering, and healing from toxic workplaces with Elaine Lin Hering (speaker, facilitator, and writer)

How many of us have been told to suffer in silence because we shouldn’t burn bridges?  But that silence is violence and trauma. In this episode with Elaine Lin Hering, we discuss:  - AAPIs in American and how to navigate executive leadership in majority White spaces. - What happens when people of color are minoritized, racialized, and tokenized, and what we can do instead to support people of color in their careers.  - What it means to “play” the game versus pushing the boundaries to move forward.  - The burden of being the “only” in leadership, and how no one person should be carrying that weight alone. - How workplace abuse and trauma can lead to both physical and mental illness. - Why we shouldn’t only endure, and how to go from surviving to thriving. - What it takes to set healthy boundaries and prioritize your wellness.  Follow Elaine on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainelinhering/.  Preorder Elaine’s new book published by Penguin Random House at https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720975/unlearning-silence-by-elaine-lin-hering/.
