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.

Malachi Whitson, drums Kai Lyons, guitar David Michael Otis, alto sax Ben Williams, bass Drummer, composer, educator, and community builder Malachi Whitson creates boundary-defying jazz rooted in the deep traditions of the Black Music canon–blues, gospel, swing, bebop–while simultaneously incorporating West African polyrhythms and Afro-Caribbean grooves. A passionate drummer since childhood, Whitson approaches the drums as not only an instrument, but a way of listening, connecting, and imagining a more vibrant world. Originally from the Bay Area and now based in Los Angeles, Whitson brings his new quartet to the JazzPOP stage to create music that connects ancestral echoes with contemporary voices in a sound that is unmistakably their own.
