Asian Americans can feel the pressure to conform to the model minority stereotype, fight imposter syndrome, and aim to lead authentically as an "other" in the corporate world. We exist within a system where stereotypes exist and many groups are perceived as “others.” For the strongest integrated leadership, Asian Americans must find their own voice and professional path that both honors their lineage values and celebrates where they are right now. 

From her personal journey identifying as a banana in college (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) through a 22 year career as a design leader in tech and now an executive coach, Tutti Taygerly (BS, '97) moves beyond the stereotypes and shares three strategies for how Asian Americans claim their leadership and succeed in workplaces not built with them in mind.

In honor of AANHPI month, SAPAAC is sponsoring a two-part series on Asian Americans at Work. This Part 1 features TEDx speaker Tutti Taygerly’s research findings from interviews with successful Asian American professionals In Part 2, coming soon, we will feature prominent Asian American leaders in business in a panel discussion. 

Tutti Taygerly Speaker Bio

Tutti speaks on leadership and innovation bringing a unique blend of her 22 years experience in Silicon Valley and her current focus as a leadership expert. She coaches cofounders and tech leaders to embrace their unique leadership style to achieve professional impact and a sustainable company culture. She guides “others” who never felt like they belonged in a professional setting — including women, people of color, immigrants and the neurodiverse — to confidently share their voices with the world. Previously she was a design leader at design firms, startups, and large companies including Disney and Meta.

She has given two TEDx talks, spoken at SxSW, and for numerous companies including Google, Stripe, Amazon, Nordstrom, and Doordash. Tutti writes for Harvard Business Review, Business Insider, and Fast Company and her book Make Space to Lead shows high achievers how to reframe our relationship to work.  She’s currently bewitched with her second book on leading when you feel like an "other.
Tutti grew up in seven countries on three continents and is settled in San Francisco as her home base. She spends her time parenting two teen girls, obsessively reading, and paddling out for the next wave. Find her at tuttitaygerly.com

Part of our Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Events

NETWORKING + PANEL

One year ago, scientists sounded a “final warning” over our climate emergency: rising greenhouse gas emissions are pushing our global environment toward irrevocable damage, requiring decisive action.

To change this trajectory, our planet needs leaders in different sectors—energy, finance, technology, design, policy, and many more—to work together to collectively move the needle on climate. Yet Asian American professionals remain underrepresented in environmental science and allied fields of sustainability.

What areas of sustainability are in greatest need of vision and leadership? How can you build the business case for new climate solutions within your corporation? Can Asian Americans step up as climate leaders, whatever your profession?

Whether you are a recent graduate or an established professional interested in amplifying your climate impact, join SAPAAC as we convene sustainability professionals for an engaging discussion and networking during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

Panelists:
Andrew Chang, Managing Director, Activate New York, former Department of Energy
Melissa Zhang, Melissa Zhang, Energy Transition Investor, Azimuth Capital Management, former founder & BlackRock 
Kevin Hsu, Co-Author of Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems, former sustainability scientist at Walt Disney Imagineering
Josephine Lau, SAPAAC Board Member (moderator)

Join SAPAAC for a night of theater and drinks in NYC!

On Thursday October 26, 8pm, SAPAAC is heading for a group viewing of Salesman之死 (Salesman Zhisi), a bilingual new play inspired by the true story of Arthur Miller directing Death of a Salesman in China. This tale of cultural confusion, impossible translation, and unexpected encounters amid the chaos of theatermaking is written by Jeremy Tiang, and directed and developed by Obie Award-winner Michael Leibenluft.

The play will be performed bilingually (with Mandarin Chinese and English subtitles), by an all-female, all-Asian cast at the Connelly Theater in New York City.

This event is free and open for all alumni, regardless of whether you're attending the reunion, but registration is required.

Stanford University has committed to building a new Asian American Research Center (AARC) focused on research and programming. The Center has the potential to address historical, cultural, social, psychological, artistic, medical, legal, and policy dimensions of the Asian American experience. It could become a national hub for the future development of Asian American Studies as a field, while serving as a focal point for existing work at Stanford. Professors Gordon H. Chang and Stephen Sano, two of the faculty stewarding the creation of this Center, are eager to hear from the alumni community about their hopes.

• What could the Research Center do? What areas of focus might it address or what projects could it tackle?

• Are there inspiring models for a Research Center that you have seen work well? (For example, at other universities, in civic organizations)

• How do you think the AARC should relate to or support the undergraduate Program on Asian American Studies, which focuses on teaching and education, not on research?

• What would you personally be willing to do to support the Center, the Program on Asian American Studies, the A3C, or other efforts on campus?

Join a community conversation for alumni to make our voices heard, as the University shapes this new Center!

When: 8/27 Sunday, 10-11:30 AM PST (1-2:30 PM EST)
Where: Zoom (link to be sent before the date of the event)
Registration: Free, please RSVP here
