Please join us for a discussion of the book, Leveraging Stereotypes
In this powerful and introspective memoir, Dianne Lee explores how societal stereotypes—often viewed as limiting or negative—can be transformed into tools for personal and professional growth. Drawing from her experiences as an Asian immigrant navigating male-dominated industries, Lee shares candid stories of resilience, self-awareness, and strategic empowerment. The book delves into the intersection of identity, race, and leadership, especially in the context of systemic challenges highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. With a blend of practical advice and heartfelt reflection, Lee encourages readers to embrace their unique traits and turn adversity into opportunity. This is a compelling read for anyone seeking to challenge norms, find their voice, and lead authentically.
