Working Hard Isn’t Enough: The Unspoken Rules That Shape Your Career With Ricky Koo ’09
Thu 8/13 • 12PM PDT
Zoom
As a first-generation immigrant, career coach Ricky Koo was taught to work hard, stay humble and let results speak. Sound familiar?
Here’s the thing: You can be great at your job and still be misunderstood, overlooked or underestimated.
In this webinar, Ricky Koo—a first-generation immigrant who rose through the ranks to become a corporate executive before building his own professional coaching business— breaks down what actually shapes how you’re perceived at work, and how to take control of your professional narrative without being fake, loud or political in ways that feel misaligned. This isn’t about self-promotion. It’s about self-definition.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
• Define your professional brand clearly—so others stop guessing your value or mislabeling your intent
• Advocate for yourself without feeling awkward or “bragging”, even if you’ve been taught to keep your head down
• Navigate workplace dynamics with confidence, instead of pretending they don’t exist (because ignoring them is a strategy—and usually a costly one)
• Stay grounded in your worth during high-pressure moments, so stress, feedback or hierarchy don’t shake how you show up
Regardless of your career level or what industry you work in, this session can help you develop your skills in self advocacy and intentional branding, refine your voice and create lasting impact.
