“My name is Sheena and I am a Keynote Speaker, Coach, International bestselling author, and podcaster on building self-confidence.”

“My personal goal has always been to elevate women’s voices and build them up. Currently we face a huge confidence gap from the men where women still resist taking action because of how they perceive themselves. Women do not face a competence issue, women face a confidence issue and because of that we end up having lack of confidence due to inaction. This confidence gap hurts women as a whole because we end up not being in leadership and CEO roles, and even delays us from achieving gender parity.”

“A recent article from Reuters mentioned that it will take 130 years before we achieve gender parity at the rate we are going. This is why it’s so important now more than ever to help women see their worth and take a seat at the table.”

“While we have made some progress, we still have a long way to go.  If we continuously share our stories and celebrate women’s achievement, it will show others what is possible for themselves.  Representation matters because that is what creates visibility and awareness.”

“One of the things we have been doing to create visibility is our book series called “Women Who Boss UP.”  We recently launched the 3rd instalment called “Asian Women Who Boss UP” and we reached number 1 on Amazon’s bestseller list on the day it launched.”

“This is proof that women crave these stories.  They are empowered to take action in their own lives. They read the life of how other women are able to forge their path, overcome their obstacles and thrive.   When a woman can finally see her worth, she becomes unstoppable!”
