The Power of Pursuing the Seemingly Impossible: Courage for Your Career and Life
We all have something that feels “impossible.”
A stretch role. A creative dream. A hard conversation. A version of ourselves we’re unsure we’re ready to step into.
Lei began her career in tech as a programmer after studying computer science, later earning her MBA from Wharton and building a successful career in finance and technology. From the outside, everything looked aligned. On the inside, she felt called to something that stretched her far beyond her comfort zone.
That journey eventually led her to become the first Asian woman and the fourth woman in the world to complete the Explorer’s Grand Slam — climbing the highest peak on each continent and skiing to both the North and South Poles.
But the real transformation wasn’t about the mountains. It was about identity, courage, and rediscovering who she truly was.
In this conversational session, we’ll explore:
• Why we wait for confidence — and why we don’t need it
• How fear and excitement often feel the same in the body
• What your “personal Everest” might be right now
• One courageous step you can take next
This is not a formal keynote. It’s a space for reflection, dialogue, and practical growth.
Come as you are — and leave with clarity and momentum.
