May is Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific American Heritage Month
This May, during Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we recognize the history and achievements of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) across our Nation.
In the midst of a difficult year of pain and fear, we reflect on the tradition of leadership, resilience, and courage shown by AANHPI communities, and recommit to the struggle for AANHPI equity.
If you are looking for the best speakers in the industry that happen to identify and be Asian American, Pacific American and Native Hawaiian here is the list. These are speakers we represent and work with on multiple occasions.

● How trying to cultivate excellence solely through correction stifles the very innovation we want our leaders (and future leaders) to have.
● Discover a method for positive feedback that moves your work forward and helps you lean into your brilliance (and why the traditional approach doesn’t work)
