Have you ever been the only one at the table? Maybe the only woman, or the only person of color, or simply the only one with a different perspective in the room? It can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to hold you back. In fact, it can actually be your superpower.
In this week’s episode of Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel sits down with Angela Chee to unpack how to embrace being an “only” and turn it into a powerful asset. Angela is media and communications coach and author of The Power of the Only. She speaks from her many years of experience as a TV news anchor, where she was often the only Asian American and the only woman in the room.
Angela and Jessi discuss:
• How to identify external and internal barriers, and how to break through the internal ones
• The importance of personal development in owning your voice
• Why some environments aren’t worth your time, and when to walk away
• How to thrive when you’re the only one at the table
