Summary

Pauline Cheung is a women’s leadership speaker and coach on a mission to show professional women how to trust their voices and create professional and personal success – without conceding to people-pleasing and perfectionism. Despite 12+ years as an international executive working with Fortune 500 C-suite and senior-level leaders in the areas of strategy, marketing, and business development, Pauline comes from humble beginnings. She knows how challenging it is to step into the unknown and navigate the fear of failure and judgment. Her deep compassion for women wrestling with similar desires and demons helps her coaching clients and audience members break out of their fears and step into full visibility as their unique and brilliant selves. Listen in to hear Pauline share: How she had to juggle work with motherhood as her child needed extra medical attention How she’s working on harmonizing her work and home life - and why the concept of harmonizing is more full of ease than seeking “work life balance” Why time is currency and the value of time - sometimes over money How she grew up with the message, “It’s not safe to be me”, as a Chinese girl growing up in England How she found safety by making others happy - and the costs of making others happy How she recognized the truth about fear and stopped letting it preventing her from going after the things she wanted (even if she didn’t know how she would actually get them) Her journey from corporate to culinary school to coaching other women The 3 specific ways women stay in their own way, preventing them from taking a stand in their life What belonging actually looks & feels like, and how to own who you are to create a more confident sense of belonging How we can overcome the constant internal battle of being “too much” and “not enough” at the same time Links mentioned: Connect with Pauline Get Pauline’s Confidence Guide: 5 Ways to Practice Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone and into Greater Confidence Thank you to our sponsors: Gemmist: Go to Gemmist.com to get your personalized recommendation and enter SHAMELESS at checkout for 20% off and free 2-day shipping.
