But then I realized, as I matured, there's nothing wrong with my cultural background, and really, I had to lean into who I was. The values that my parents and the things that I learned from my Korean community are really interesting and good and helpful, and could be a driver for innovation for the work that we do. And until I got to that point, I don't think my work was able to truly flourish in the way I could.”  - Jane Hyun Mentioned in this episode: Flex: The New Playbook for Managing Across Differences Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling: Career Strategies for Asians Leadership Toolkit for Asians: The Definitive Resource Guide for Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.
