Leadership Keynote Speaker

About

I am the first Asian woman to complete the Explorers Grand Slam—climbing the highest peak on every continent and skiing to both the North and South Poles. But I didn't start as an athlete or adventurer. I was a bookish city girl from Beijing who built a career in technology and finance. In my thirties, a daydream about Everest set me on a journey that would take me far beyond anything I had imagined possible. That experience changed how I think about courage, leadership, and what people are capable of achieving. Today, as a leadership keynote speaker and executive coach, I help organizations achieve ambitious goals by making courage part of everyday leadership at every level.

how do you keep your codebase clean when relying heavily on ai code generators?

I have been using automated coding assistants for rapid prototyping over the past few weeks, and while it speeds up building initial ui screens tremendously, it also generates a lot of redundant utility classes and messy state logic.

every time i clean up the code manually, i wonder if there is a better prompt pattern or workflow to force cleaner output from the start.

for those building full products with ai tools, how do you prevent your repository from becoming an unmaintainable nightmare after a few weeks of fast iteration?

Does a 14-day free trial create lazy onboarding?

We gave users 14 days of full access expecting them to explore deeply. Instead, most signed up, used it for 10 minutes on day 1, and never logged back in until the Trial Ending automated email triggered .

When we shortened the window to 7 days (or gated key actions behind reverse trials activation actually went up because urgency forced immediate exploration.

Is the standard 14-day trial dying, or are we just structuring trial onboarding wrong?

Should AI agents have names?

Our AI employees have names. Peter is an SDR, Kavya sells insurance, Arjun is a loan officer, Priya handles renewals.

We did it because customers found it easier to talk about "Peter's pipeline" than "the lead qualification workflow." Teams started treating the agents like colleagues with a job, which made it easier to define what each one owns.
