The European Chamber of Commerce in China, in cooperation with the Tianjin Networking Club, AmCham, German Chamber and other chambers and organization in Tianjin and Beijing, has the pleasure of inviting you to the Inter-Chamber Networking on Tuesday November 22nd, 2016, 19:00 p.m. to 22:00 p.m. This time the venue is Tangla Hotel Tianjin.
This month, we are honored to have Lin Gao, an executive coach and trainer who has also served on AmCham China's Board of Governors for the past four years, come and introduce her recently published book《职得 – 成为自己故事里的英雄》 (To become the hero of your own story).
Today Chinese nationals are the driving force of MNC’s growth in China. While some would argue there is a glass ceiling for Chinese employees working in MNCs, many have obviously cracked the ceiling and rose to the top. So what does it take for them to get into the C-suite? What competencies are critical and yet particularly challenging to Chinese employees as they move up? In the book, Lin talked about the importance of critical thinking, speaking up, networking and personal branding, the key competences that are often been overlooked. She also shared her own struggle of getting out of the comfort zone to pursue her Doctor degree while leading a global team and raising a family.
