How to Lead with Respect (And ditch the need to be liked) | EDIT22

On this mind-shifting edit of Unapologetic Stories, Anna talks to Chau Lui - co-owner of Paris Jewellers - who shares her powerful (and sometimes painful) lessons from her childhood, growing up Vietnamese-Canadian with a name most teachers couldn’t pronounce, to her role as CEO of a profoundly successful company with over 200 employees across 23 stores in 4 Canadian provinces.

While Chau and her sister Trang faced significant anti-Asian racism in their lifetime and encountered considerable self-doubt as a result, they are now speaking up, sharing their story and work, and giving back to vulnerable communities who can benefit from their important messages of hope, unity and celebration. This is a ‘must-hear’ edit packed with leadership advice, entrepreneurial vision, soul-centred truths about failure and success, and powerful personal wisdom that will find you shifting your mind, your business and your heart.

Anna was born with a deep fascination for letters - a fascination that deepened when she discovered those letters could turn into words, those words into sentences and those sentences into stories. Not surprisingly, Anna graduated from The University of Victoria, with a Degree in both English and Gender Studies, fuelling her eventual mission to put the power of words back into the hands of women.

Despite multiple other certifications along the way, including one with world-renowned author and personal transformation pioneer, Deepak Chopra, it was ultimately her personal battle with post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety that became the catalyst for the work she does now, as she helps pave the way for others to live with vulnerability and courage whether they are online, offline or on stage.
