Author: Leisa Peterson March 13, 2025 Duration: 29:48

In this powerful conversation, media coach and author Angela Chee joins Leisa Peterson to discuss her new book, "The Power of the Only: Own Your Voice and Thrive in Any Environment."

Angela shares her journey from a shy Asian American girl to a Los Angeles news anchor and now a sought-after keynote speaker and communication coach. She reveals how being "the only" in many rooms throughout her life became her greatest strength rather than a limitation.

Episode Highlights:

  • Angela's evolution from a shy child to a confident TV journalist and communication coach
  • The five principles of the "Power of the Only": owning your opportunities, power, voice, communication, and future
  • How to navigate spaces where you might feel like an outsider and transform that experience into strength
  • The importance of moving from a scarcity to abundance mindset to fully embrace your potential
  • Practical insights on authentic communication and showing up fully aligned in all environments
  • Why Angela rejects the term "imposter syndrome" and offers a more empowering framework
  • The changing landscape of representation and what remains constant for "onlys"

Whether you're the only woman in the room, the only person of color, or simply someone trying to do things differently, this conversation offers valuable strategies for embracing your unique perspective and using it to thrive.
