WHY ASIANS GET OVERLOOKED FOR LEADERSHIP
Studies have shown that Asian Americans are amongst the most highly educated groups, yet are statistically held back from leadership positions. Despite working hard, they are often overlooked for their efforts and brilliance.
Several myths are continuously perpetrated about Asian Americans in the workplace, from perceptions of the "shyness" to mindset and communication limitations from pressures of assimilation.
Big Asian Energy's mission is about examining the sources of our external and internal limitations and breaking through them, together.

SPEAKING REEL
"His stage presence, his confidence, his ability to break down big and complex and challenging and sensitive topics into things that are easily understandable and digestible is such a profound skill."
- Toper Ravadilla, Senior Community Strategist at Mighty Networks
ABOUT JOHN WANG
John Wang knows the heavy burden of high expectations, growing up in a traditional Asian household where success was everything. This pressure led to burnout, imposter syndrome, and constant people-pleasing. After hitting rock bottom, John broke free from these self-sabotaging patterns, redefining success on his own terms.
For over 15 years, John has helped high-achieving Asian Americans overcome similar struggles, empowering them to unlock their potential and break generational patterns.
With 240,000+ followers on TikTok, TEDx talks, and the Big Asian Energy podcast, John’s mission is to inspire a new generation to lead with confidence. His book Big Asian Energy, launched May 2025 (Tiny Reparations/Penguin Randomhouse Publishing), and offers even more tools to step into your full power.
