How Women Leaders in Asia are Changing the Leadership Paradigm

My authors come from all over the world, including Singapore, Malaysia, Uganda, Australia, Peru, Mexico, Ibiza, Germany, Uganda, and, of course the US. It’s one of the things I’m most proud of.

I’ve worked hard to seek out authors from different backgrounds and cultures. In them, I see me. And in me, they often see themselves. 😍

I’m a 4th-generation Chinese-Trinidadian 🇹🇹 who grew up in a melting pot of cultures—Chinese, African, Creole, British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Indian, Arab, Amerindian… and the list goes on. Because of this, I feel connected to so many different ways of living and experiencing the world. And now that I’ve spent most of my adult life in the U.S., married to an American and raising our mixed-race child here in San Francisco, I feel like I have a unique insider/outsider perspective when it comes to writing books—for both US and international audiences. 

Now, I’m a woman of Asian descent who has never lived in Asia.

So it was fascinating to me to see the similarities—not only in culture but in experiences in the workplace—that I had with co-authors Ritu G. Mehrish, CSP and Rajita Saxena, and the 200 women they interviewed for their recently launched book: Rewrite the Rules: How Women Leaders in Asia are Changing the Leadership Paradigm (PenguinRandomHouse Singapore, October 2024).

The differences were just as eye-opening. 😳

I am so proud of this book and the work Ritu and Rajita are doing to empower Asian women to “challenge the status quo and redefine success on their own terms.” I loved working with them, learning from them, and supporting this important mission. Happy Pub Week friends!​

😍 Here’s what Ritu and Rajita had to say about working with me:

---

Working with Danielle was an outstanding experience. She meticulously understood the essence of our project, our goals, intentions, and the target audience. 

Given the dual authorship of our book, Danielle skillfully ensured our narratives merged seamlessly into a single, coherent voice. Her feedback was precise and insightful, complemented by thoughtful suggestions for enhancement. 

Danielle's expertise was what we needed. She brought the perspective of her own experience, which led her to ask us pertinent questions that made our narrative stronger. 

Danielle's professionalism made her exceptionally easy to collaborate with. She gracefully accommodated our demanding schedule. 
​
We wholeheartedly endorse Danielle for anyone seeking profound and constructive insights into their manuscript. Her dedication and expertise are truly invaluable.
