What if you don’t know the answer?

I love this because we are always asked to know the answers! But how exactly should you answer questions you don’t know? Deflecting is not the way, but there are so many other ways you can respond to clients (or team members!) when they ask a question!

Especially in my first year in consulting, I didn’t know anything about Workday, the industry my clients were in, and “best practices.” I had to start from the ground up but I did draw from my experiences in my past jobs and internships! You always want to be honest and transparent but also be a trustworthy and knowledgeable consultant even when you just graduated. Here are my takes!

What is your go to and how would you rank these yourself in order of preference! Do you have something else you do instead? Share them in a comment down below!

Family: When do you draw the line? (ASIAN TABOO TOPIC) | CHATTING WITH CHRISTINE

January 26, 2021January 26, 2021 cwong0102Leave a comment

This is a very personal and dark episode about family. My boyfriend, Addison Chen, and I talk about our relationships with family and when to actually draw the line with your family in terms of decisions and even your future relationships with them. I feel like this is an Asian taboo topic to talk about what happens behind closed doors, but sometimes these conversations need to be had.

Compare yourself to yourself, not to anyone else!

From career success to job offers to grades and GPA to relationships and social standings, there is always something people envy from others.

It’s important to your mental and emotional health not to compare yourself other people often. To benchmark and set goals against other people is healthy, but to constantly beat yourself because you’re not progressing as fast is not healthy.

Value yourself more, acknowledge your situation, and set PERSONAL goals on your own pace. It’s more fun and you’ll be happier!

Growth Mindset

I think everyone has heard of growth mindset thrown around, but why should you care? Now HOW can you start implementing what I deem as my ingredients of success? What we deem as success and happiness is all subjective, but you also don’t want to lose yourself in results, metrics, and goals. It’s good to have goals to know if you are on track, but you should also trust the process and learn what you can while achieving it. You’ll be surprised of what you will learn about yourself!
