“Stereotypes put you in a cage. You’re Asian. Australian. Woman. Man. People of Colour, Angelo…. May you’re feeling this now
But what if I told you that while stereotypes put us in a cage, our fight against them creates the lock? — How? The more we fight against these labels, the more we exhaust ourselves by trying to prove we’re something that we’re not.”
Welcome back to No Language barriers! welcome back to No Language Barriers! Today, I want to take you behind the scenes of a moment that still feels surreal—my recent TEDx talk at TEDx Power St ARISE, the first ever TEDx event created 100% by and for the next generation of Asian-Australians.
With the overarching theme being Asian-Australians Reimagine my talk was named ‘How Being More Asian Helped Me Break Asian Stereotypes.’
As the name suggests, the concept of stopping the fight might sound ironic. Because for years, I thought the only way to succeed was to prove I wasn’t ‘too Asian.’ But the truth? The moment I stopped fighting that identity and started embracing it, everything changed.
So today, I want to share: ✅ The pressure I once felt to ‘assimilate’ and what that cost me ✅ A behind-the-scenes look at the message of my TEDx talk ✅ How you can use your cultural identity as a superpower—no matter where you’re from
If you’ve ever felt like your background is something you have to ‘overcome’ to fit in, this episode is for you."

“Within that (first) five minutes of meeting someone, you can already make an impact and vice versa.” — Kimberley Goh (Founder of Migrant Professional Network)
Transitioning from being merely an international individual to becoming an integral part of a new community and professional sphere in a foreign country requires transformation on multiple fronts, extending far beyond proficiency in a dominant language. From initial experiences in networking to the founding of a migrant network that connected over 600 participants from 50+ countries in its inaugural year, the journey of our guest exemplifies the power of inclusive multicultural networking. Join us as we explore this transformative journey with Kimberly Goh, and uncover the secrets of networking as a dynamic and rewarding journey in our interconnected world.
Kimberly's journey in Australia began as an international student from Malaysia, where she learned the importance of going the extra mile to stand out in the competitive job market. Engaging in mentorship programs, internships, and networking events, she secured her first role organising wellbeing and resilience training, honing her resilience skills in the process.
Transitioning to the international education sector, Kimberly spent 6.5 years working as a Career Advisor witnessing the struggles of international students and migrants in finding employment and forming connections. Motivated by this, she founded the Migrant Women Professional Network upon returning from maternity leave, aiming to empower migrant women through connections and professional development by combining what she loved, organising events and helping people. Since starting in January 2023, she's had monthly events and has engaged with over 600 participants from 50+ countries.

‘Don’t think you’re the minority in the place. Think about what you can bring to the table.’----Tracy Pham
‘It is what it is.’ That is one of the attitudes to embrace in any situation often when things don’t appear to one’s advantage. Yet, there are always people who are able to recognize the blessing behind every challenge. Even fewer people have the courage and capacity to embrace such an outlook to empower not only themselves, but others they identify with. As our guest speaker Tracy well said, we must first be the change we want to see by upgrading what we think. And that what enabled her to achieve what she has to earn her place on this podcast:
With a background in Media & Communications, Tracy Pham, a migrant from Vietnam since 2013, is a passionate advocate for change in the realms of community empowerment, particularly within culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. As a dedicated member of the Australian Vietnamese Women Association, Tracy channels her commitment to community empowerment by providing media support to various projects, including Age Care services, Family & Children initiatives, Training programs, Family Domestic Violence Prevention, and Gambling Counselling. These efforts aim to promote the health and well-being of migrants and refugees. Tracy’s impact extends to her role as a Board committee member for Meld Community since 2020, actively contributing to the development of a healthy international student community in Victoria and fostering their integration into Australian life and society with respect.
In her free time, Tracy lends her voice to Magnify magazine, a quarterly digital publication that recently received the Tech Diversity Awards in the Marketing, Media, and Advertising category. Tracy’s contributions celebrate inspiring women of colour in STEM, breaking barriers, and making a difference. (Follow Tracy on LinkedIn)
In this episode, we will take you through:
- How language learning benefits communication skills and character development
- The power of including others in our motivation to master a language
- The importance of reaching out to expand social network and support in a foreign country.
- Leveraging cross-cultural connections to promote one’s cultural heritage

“You don’t need to be someone in order to do something.” —Bonnie Chi How often do you wish we could be more ‘like’ the mentors and role models we admire to achieve our goals more easily? How often do you also decide not to do something that people around you don’t choose due to the perceived risks and barriers?
One of the greatest relationship secrets I’ve learnt is that every single person in your life is your mirror. What this means is that others are always reflecting parts of your consciousness back to you, allowing you to see yourself, to grow and to change your beliefs about who you are and about other people.
The qualities you most admire in others are part of your consciousness and the same goes for the qualities you dislike. If you see those around you behaving like the victims and perpetrators of the commonly quoted bias and barriers, such as glass ceiling and bamboo ceiling, it is exactly because you also consciously believe in the existence of such limits and behave accordingly.
To change anything in your experiences and relationships, you must be the change you want to see. And this is the core message in the second part of my dialogue with Bonnie Chi:
Associate Director from NAB and frequent speaker and career strategist challenging the next generation to reinvent their career with unconventional strategies.
Made in Hong Kong and now further rooted in Australia with her expansive migrant journey, Bonnie actively advocates for 'breaking the bamboo ceiling' whilst staying culturally diverse by choice and by love. She believes everyone - of different colours, nationalities, races, or ethnicities, deserves equal chance to present their unique, best self and thrive in their dreams. (Follow Bonnie on LinkedIn)

“You don’t need to be someone in order to do something.” —Bonnie CHi
Do you ever feel your English is not as good in reality compared to your education and how others typically perceive you based on your grades and what you have already achieved in an English-speaking environment?
We are all not immune to imposter syndrome and in and beyond the use of a foreign language, each of us may be fighting an inner battle usually unknown to others, however competent and confident we usually appear in front of them. In the same context, there is a common notion that confidence comes from familiarity. From my experience, aside from deliberate practice in settings unfamiliar to us, we can also gain more confidence with the reference of the experience and lessons from other people similar to us.
In this spirit, I am pleased to present the first guest interview on No Language Barriers in 2024, with a Multilingual Connector who speak more than 10 language and to earn her place on this podcast, has re-established herself in several continents and cultural landscapes, leveraged such experience to emerge as a career strategist and panellist as a recent migrant in Australia. She is Bonnie Chi.
Bonnie is a devoted Compliance and Risk Management professional with 7 years of steadfast experience in combating Financial Crime. She’s now working as an Associate Director at NAB & focusing on their Third-party service suppliers’ compliant in Cyber security. She is driven to uplift our next-gen workforce and amplify barefoot kick-starters’ inner strength and potential – as an emerging, unconventional Career Strategist.
Facing countless rejections and visa hurdles when she returned to Australia in 2017 for her second master degree, indeed it took a long way for her to bounce back stronger in resilience, to establish her career foundation and head towards where she landed today. Proudly and humbly flourishing in adversity and striving to set a precedent, Bonnie first set her foot at the doorstep with a Big 4 bank by simply knocking on doors. (whilst still on Student Visa)
Being able to elicit convos in 13 languages, Her intercultural intelligence has definitely done her favour to brighten up people’s lives with her animated interpersonal personality while blending in the neighbourhood & community; can’t wait to see where this unconventional path would lead Bonnie to her next exciting destinations. (Follow Bonnie on LinkedIn)
In this episode, we’ll discover how Bonnies rides the wave of confidence as she keeps rising up to new challenges in a foreign context:
The essence of connecting before converting opportunities
The ‘human intelligence’ that AI cannot replace in fostering genuine connections
Expanding and managing personal identities in different cultural and linguistic contexts
Integrating networking and personal branding with language learning
And so much more. Keep listening

“One of the gifts in the conversation I have with people is NOT the destination I want to get to……” ----- Charles Liang
Are you under pressure to participate in networking this side Christmas and the new year, ? are you also already making a plan for the coming year where you wish to be more active, more engaged and more effective in networking so that you can gain something from your commitments, such as insights, knowledge and potentially introductions and referrals?
While the episode name might make you believe we are going provide pro tips for you to accelerate conversational skills in the interest of converting opportunities, I’d like remind you that whilst networking and conversations can be approached as a means to the end, not all means are the same, just like there are faster routes and ways to get to Rome. For us to map out and embark on the paths from conversations to destinations in a cross-cultural and cross disciplinary context, we need far more than language skills and industry knowledge, and this is what I shed light on in the remainder of my latest interview with Charles Liang
Bringing his cross-disciplinary talent , Charles currently serves on the Victorian committee of the Australia-China Young Professionals Initiative, the premier platform connecting young professionals and entrepreneurs in the Australia-China space. There, he has moderated a diverse array of English panels across numerous industries to engage with the Australia-China relationship. (Follow Charles on LinkedIn)
Further to the speaking and conversations technique in the previous episode, we will unveil the other ingredients for conversations to the destination of connecting:
- Why are conversations orientations rather than destinations
- Strategies to request for favours
- The importance of accountability in speaking and networking
- How to evaluate networking experience for continuous improvement
And so much more. Keep listening
