Many of us learned to compete long before we understood why.
Whether it was grades, appearance, limited opportunities, or just trying to make our families proud—competition became many first gens’ survival strategy. But what happens when it stops serving us?
Join Betty Chan, Authenticity Coach for life and business, and Arianna Dela Rosa, Career Empowerment Coach, for a real and reflective conversation on the shift from competition to compassion—within ourselves, our communities, and our work.
We’ll explore how cultural narratives, family, and systemic pressures shaped our drive to “win”—and how we’re now learning to lead with compassion as a secret ingredient to sustainable success.
What we’ll cover:
How competition shaped our early ideas of success—and what it cost us
What compassion actually looks like in our careers and everyday lives
How first-gens can shift from survival mode to sustainable success
Come join us for an honest conversation about what we’re unlearning, what we’re choosing instead, and how compassion might just be the thing that keeps us going!
