YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH Trudging through the icy, mountain streets of Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum, Meghan FitzGerald realized this moment--among a select few experiences--was symbolic of a heavy climb to the top of an enduring healthcare career--but at what cost? Looking back, she realized she had put a premium on education, connections, and compensation ... and would only later learn the important value that personal health should have in life choices and work benefits. In ASCENDING DAVOS: A CAREER JOURNEY FROM THE EMERGENCY ROOM TO THE BOARDROOM, Meg shares valuable insights learned from her novel study about the impact of increased status on one's personal health and during her ascent from caregiving roles to healthcare strategist to academic to dealmaker, including: -Be overprepared and have "content and connections." -Have a long-term strategy but short-term goals. -Develop and deploy star sponsors to pull you up and beyond. -Maniacally cultivate and promote your brand. -Education and training, particularly in finance, are great equalizers. -Health is your wealth Through it all, Meg retained a "Get Shit Done" (GSD) mindset: wake up, show up, and perform at your best, no matter the task

Winner, 2022 Max Weber Award for Distinguished Scholarship, given by the American Sociological Association's Section on Organizations, Occupations, and Work Winner, 2021 PROSE Award in the Business, Finance & Management Category A behind-the-scenes examination of Asian Americans in the workplace In the classroom, Asian Americans, often singled out as so-called “model minorities,” are expected to be top of the class. Often they are, getting straight As and gaining admission to elite colleges and universities. But the corporate world is a different story. As Margaret M. Chin reveals in this important new book, many Asian Americans get stuck on the corporate ladder, never reaching the top. In Stuck, Chin shows that there is a “bamboo ceiling” in the workplace, describing a corporate world where racial and ethnic inequalities prevent upward mobility. Drawing on interviews with second-generation Asian Americans, she examines why they fail to advance as fast or as high as their colleagues, showing how they lose out on leadership positions, executive roles, and entry to the coveted boardroom suite over the course of their careers. An unfair lack of trust from their coworkers, absence of role models, sponsors and mentors, and for women, sexual harassment and prejudice especially born at the intersection of race and gender are only a few of the factors that hold Asian American professionals back. Ultimately, Chin sheds light on the experiences of Asian Americans in the workplace, providing insight into and a framework of who is and isn’t granted access into the upper echelons of American society, and why.
