Katrin J. Yuan faced discrimination, because she is a woman and of Asian descent, but she didn't let that stop her from becoming a successful investor, CEO, founder, award-winning executive, 5x board member, and keynote speaker.  

Believing in yourself when no one does is a learned skill. Learning to fight discrimination means shedding imposed beliefs and listening to your inner voice to realize success. 

Key focus areas: 

1. Marginalized Voices Need To Build Self-Belief 
2. Dream big, believe in your potential: Know your why, know your vision
3. Intrinsic Motivation + Energy: Do you know what motivates you?
4. Adaptability + Environment: Find the right environment for growth.
5. Dealing with Expectations + Inner Conflict: Navigating societal pressures requires letting go of wanting to please others
6. Embracing Authenticity + Uniqueness:  Your uniqueness is your asset.
7. Are you listening to the right people?
8. Being Ok with Being Alone
9. Finding Motivation Through Challenges
10. Learning: Trial,  Error & Repeat
