I’m Samorn Selim. 

I’m a lawyer turned career coach on a mission for us to take our careers from dread to joy. As the daughter of poor Lao refugees, I was told to pay my dues.

After coaching over 1,000 clients, I now realize that the idea that you have to pay your dues and work in a toxic place is a myth. 

We can face our challenges head on, do work we are passionate about, and work with good people with kind hearts to make a big impact. So even as we struggle, we can find a sense of belonging.

Do you feel like you’re being marginalized or othered?  And you’re stuck between different cultures and generations?  Neha shares how to:

- Break the box and no longer leaving parts of yourself out just to get in the door.  

- Come to terms with being othered and marginalized.  

- Navigate patriarchy in Indian and American cultures.  

- Manage the minefield of unwritten rules in corporate America.    

- Overcome betrayal from a mentor.   

- Change the game and change the rules instead of assimilating, flying under radar, and telling people what they want to hear.

- Understand the power dynamics and the importance of timing.  

- Respond when people ask you to work for free.  

- Know your value, own your value, and ask for what you deserve.
