“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.

In this episode, Bonnie and I will explore:

• Unconventional approaches to construct and deconstruct the lowest ceilings for ourselves
• How to hand-pick mentors and role models and distinguish ourselves from them
• Discover our own paths instead of following the herd for ‘security’ and conformity
• Powerful habits to constantly prepare ourselves to take on opportunities

And more.
