In this high-impact episode, Chris Do sits down with Victoria Dior Wang—CEO of Goldzone Group and a trailblazer in experiential leadership education—to unpack why most professionals, especially in Asia, are selling all wrong. From cultural beliefs rooted in Confucian values to a widespread fear of self-promotion, Chris and Victoria explore why talented people keep playing small—and how to break free.
They dive deep into why traditional sales methods feel manipulative, the shame that comes with self-promotion, and how personal branding can help you sell with confidence (and integrity). This conversation is a must-listen for creatives, consultants, entrepreneurs, and anyone struggling with visibility, pricing, or imposter syndrome.
