I started as a Fellow of the Halftime Institute in August 2020the year the world experienced a lockdown due to COVID and the year I turned fifty. As a senior corporate executive who travels more than 50 percent of each year for a global multinational, I found 2020 to be almost like a divine pause year, giving me time to reflect, What is my calling for Life 2.0? In fact, being the only Asian and woman among my esteemed colleagues of American men, I asked HTI, Where are all the women attendees at Halftime? So I am super glad this book is finally published for women who are entering halftime. Ladies, the best part of your life is yet to be.
