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 still remember what you were doing when you heard about George Floyd?  And you’re wondering how to make sense of the world after that?  

In this episode with Kori Carew, we discuss:


- How growing up in diverse family backgrounds (countries, cultures, and religions) impacts your life and career decisions.

- What you can do to identify what energizes you and what depletes you, and how to use that information to build your career.

- Why George Floyd changed all of us, and what we can learn from it.

- How the pandemic changed the way you work and lead, and what you can do to support your employees who are struggling.

- What you can do to find your calling and make big career transitions, such as moving to a new city, starting a new job, or quitting your stable job to start your own business. 

- How to shut down questions if racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination are real, and how to start having real conversations about race and systemic oppression.

- What you can do to get buy-in from leaders to make changes to create a more inclusive company. 

- How we can choose courage even in the face of fear.
