Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 88: Why Boardroom Power Starts in the Bedroom (Jingjin Liu)
Q: What is one practical strategy for women to be respected rather than merely liked?
Focus on demonstrating competence and value, while using specific, verifiable contributions and a calm, assertive communication style that reinforces leadership presence without needing constant external validation.
EP 88: Why Boardroom Power Starts in the Bedroom (Jingjin Liu)
Q: What was the core idea behind your TED Talk about confidence starting in the bedroom?
That personal power and confidence begin with how you treat yourself at home, which then translates into how you negotiate, establish boundaries, and demand the respect you deserve in professional settings.
EP 88: Why Boardroom Power Starts in the Bedroom (Jingjin Liu)
Q: Jingjin, what does claiming a seat at the table actually look like in practice?
Prepare behind the scenes: know the agenda, do the pre-work, and insert yourself with a clear value proposition, using small, strategic moves to secure space to present your work and your ideas.
EP 91: Breaking Up With “Should” in Your Career with Julia Korn
Q: How do you distinguish between shoulds that guide growth and those that drain energy?
She differentiates maladaptive shoulds from good shoulds, noting the body's gut feeling as a signal: if a should makes you sleep poorly and feel itchy, it's maladaptive; if it aligns with your deeper goals, it's a good should.
EP 91: Breaking Up With “Should” in Your Career with Julia Korn
Q: What was the inflection point that pushed you from pursuing success on paper to something more purposeful?
A combination of misalignment and seeing a significant external example—the entrepreneur path chosen by her husband—that gave her courage to leap. This showed it could be done and helped her redefine success beyond titles.
