"May you have roots to grow, wings to fly, freedom to choose, arms to embrace, and a heart of love to tie everything together."
(Fily Yu-Wong)
WHO AM I
As a first-generation college graduate, a first-generation immigrant, a woman of color, and a working mom, I have an unconventional career path: with a B.A. in Chinese Literature and a PhD in Communication, I pivoted into Tech and became a leader in Strategy, Product and Marketing with 12 years of experience at Apple, LinkedIn, Pinterest and eBay.
I had many career pivots: from academia to industry, from Liberal Arts to High Tech, from Analytics to Strategy to Product Marketing, from Global Expansion to Artificial Intelligence, and from E-commerce to Health to Talent Marketplace. And recently, I decided to leave a glamorous job where I spearheaded Generative AI at Tech, and pursue my passion and purpose as a coach.
Career pivots were just a glimpse of many transitions in my life. I had a humbling beginning: I was born in an abandoned house and grew up in a remote town in northern China, about 1 hour drive from North Korea, which seems to be quite “dangerous” if you look at Google Maps. Through hard work, I was accepted by the top 1 university in China and got a full scholarship to pursue my PhD in the US. I came to the US as an international student in my 20s, with just two suitcases.
All these transitions, big or small, shape me who I am today. On this journey, I have been lifted up by dreams and callings, but also struck down by fears and injustice. My unique journey is filled with both laughter and tears, which watered my dream as a coach: empowering people to (re)connect to their joy, passion and purpose, to live out their best, fullest version of themselves.
It is my privilege and calling to serve minorities and empower them to live out their best selves. I see myself as a breeze to blow away the dust, so people can align to their north star and shine in the galaxy.
WHAT DO I BELIEVE
Everyone is a leader.
Realizing your full potential as a leader is your responsibility.
As a coach, my mission is to empower you to become the best version of yourself, aligned to a shared vision for greater good.
WHO DO I SERVE
I’m super passionate about supporting minorities, including women, people of color, first-generation college grads, first-generation immigrants, and people from underserved communities, who are struggling with their fears, doubts and inner-critics.
It’s my honor and privilege to serve people who are longing for a joyful and fulfilled life, particularly those who are going through transitions, either in career or in life.
