Rama empowerment coaching

 

 

 

Are you Asian American? Are you sick of working your ass off but not receiving the recognition that you deserve? Licensed psychotherapist and dating coach, Stephanie Lee, LCSW, and professional actor and inspirational speaker on identity and cultural synthesis, Ryan Takemiya, have teamed up to create a groundbreaking curriculum on overcoming toxic invisibility for Asian Americans. 

 

Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, sociology, cultural studies, and our personal experiences as Asian Americans, we will share with you practical tools and skills that will enable you to finally be seen for the incredible person you are.

 

Through our workshops, we seek to empower our Asian American community to be at the forefront of leading Asian Americans out of darkness into light. It is time that society recognizes our vast contributions to this country, that our parents recognize we are indeed good enough, and that we recognize ourselves – seeing and acknowledging the beautiful people we are.

 

We will be holding a series of 4-week workshops on Monday nights from 7-8:30pm in downtown San Leandro. Our first 4-week workshop starts on September 30th, and will be an introduction to overcoming toxic invisibility. In this workshop, we will give you a brief overview of how we can use neuroscience, storytelling, self-awareness, and self-care as a basis for overcoming invisibility. This will be the precursor to our future workshops. Cost of the course is $240, sliding scale spots available, please contact for more info.

Overcoming Toxic Invisibility for Asian Americans: Using neuroscience to unlock barriers holding us back from Asian representation in leadership

 

Have you hit the bamboo ceiling? Are you feeling stuck? Don’t know how to keep moving up in your profession? Understanding the human brain and how it has evolved will help us discover what could be holding us back from our true potential.

 

Through this workshop, we will help you to gain the tools and insights needed to break through the structural and personal barriers we face as Asian Americans by teaching you how to take advantage of neuroplasticity. You will learn:

-Gain insight into why we do what we do

 

-Have more control over our actions

 

-Work with the negativity bias that has actually kept humans alive for thousands of years

Overcoming Toxic Invisibility for Asian Americans: How understanding how our unique stories can empower us to reclaim our humanity and proclaim our true identity

 

For the last hundred years, popular culture has defined what it means to be Asian American. They have classified us into nerdy Asians or cool Asians. Kungfu Asians or sexually submissive Asians. Our experiences, identities, and incredibly hard work to build a life in this country have been rendered invisible despite the vast contributions we have made to our society. Through telling your story you will:

 

-Take ownership of defining what it means to be Asian American

 

-Become the protagonist 

 

-Develop a more complex understanding of your life as a story of setbacks and triumphs

 

-Draw parallels between the story of your life and the story of the Asian American narrative (connecting the personal to the historical)

 

Overcoming Toxic Invisibility for Asian Americans: Beyond the spa: How Genuine Self Care is the first step toward visibility

-Feel sensations in your body and understand what they mean

 

-Learn how to name your feelings

 

-Know how to recognize your needs

 

-How to cope when life feels overwhelming

 

-What is the window of tolerance and how to stay in it

 

-Get in touch with our inner parent and inner child
