Cultivating Inner Confidence
This is a script from a recent presentation I made with diverse female leaders who are part of Kahilla's leadership development program. Hi, I’m Nancy Choi. As someone who is operating both as a leader at a Fortune 100 company and an Executive & Career coach of impact-driven leaders, I can see how important it is for
I Have Arrived. I Am Home.
Friends, I have been hesitant to post or write after coming back from my sabbatical. If you read my recent LinkedIn post (pic below), I shared that I am now asking myself what my intention for sharing is before I post. If you are personally affected by the events in the Middle East, I am truly
5 Key Take-Aways From My Sabbatical
I recently spent a month in South-East Asia, traveling around Bali, Bangkok, Chiangmai and Pong Ta Long. I was living in "monk mode", disconnecting from digital distractions, social media, and a tight schedule. The break was long overdue, after an intense year in my professional and personal life.

The “And”
I’ve been thinking a lot about the “AND” lately, both in my personal and professional life. This has particularly been relevant when I found myself thinking in either-or’s.

Cross-Cultural Skills
I like thinking about the future – it’s why I worked in the Tech industry in the early years of my career and why I gravitate towards innovative projects shaping the future. It’s also why I started my coaching practice, because I believe the future of leadership shaped by Millennials and Gen Z is incredibly
Choosing Rational Optimism
✨ On Rational Optimism ✨ Hi friends, It’s that time of the year. The time to wind down, reflect on the past year, and think about how to stay sane in the next year. And watch lots of Harry Potter / Lord of the Rings / Home Alone. Otherwise known as December. And during this time, if there’s one
Side Hustles vs Side Projects
I hate the term “side hustle” because of the word “hustle”. Hustle implies burnout, low self-care, toxic work environments, and unrelenting standards. Funny enough, Millennials are know as the side hustle generation. (Side bar - I do not enjoy how much our generation gets stereotyped.) I’ve come to terms with the fact that Side Hustles are not for me. But Side Projects? That’s something different.
On Mentors
A few months ago, I sent a reader survey about your experiences with mentorship and a few of you responded. I’ll share your responses below, as well as my own experience with mentorship. 👉🏼 My Experience with Mentors What hasn’t worked: I’ve tried 3 formal mentorship programs in the past, where you sign up and get assigned
