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 want to make a big career change?  But your fears are stopping you from taking that leap of faith ?  In this episode with Leang Chung, we discuss:

- How you can make a transition into a new career for the first time, such as becoming a first time manager, early-stage founder, or solopreneur. 

- How our family history, such as being a Khmer refugee, can impact your beliefs and career choices.

- What you can do to shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundant mindset.  

- How to have hard conversations with your family when they don’t necessarily support your career choices.  

- What you can do to network and build your personal brand.  

- Why we all earned our place at the table, and how to take up space when you’re there.
