Be Your Own Cheerleader

An Asian and South Asian Woman's Cultural, Psychological, and Spiritual Guide to Self-Promote at Work

By: Neelu Kaur

Narrated by: Neelu Kaur

Be Your Own Cheerleader is the first book to help Asian and South Asian women self-advocate and self-promote in Corporate America.

The intention for Be Your Own Cheerleader is to help professional Asian and South Asian women—who have toggled between the two very different cultures of East and West—thrive in the workplace. When you are raised in the collective we, it is very difficult to make a name and place for yourself in the individual I. Not only are you unskilled in advocating for yourself, but you are also unsure of how to be proud of your work or accomplishments. Neelu Kaur's analysis of various research is at the intersection of leadership and wellness, offering a cultural, psychological, and spiritual approach to rising as a leader while simultaneously addressing mental wellbeing.

This is the first book to help Asian and South Asian women succeed in the North American workplace. Be Your Own Cheerleader is divided into three sections: Cultural, Psychological, and Spiritual. Each section is designed to give Asian and South Asian women different tools in their toolkit to be their own cheerleader at work.

Bravissima Neelu Kaur

This book is much needed to fill a gap in the self-help literature. I resonated with your voice.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed it and the perspective it provided. Would defintely recommend it to everyone. Even if you are not a woman of color, I appreciated listening to Neelu’s beautiful work and the very many things it offered.

On being your own cheerleader

1. Uplifting ideas
2. Interesting case studies
3. A lot of hands on examples of South Asian women
4. The narration needed a little break. It seemed like running too fast.
5. It was nice to hear the author's voice in the narration but it needed a little pause at times vs. running from story to story. Neelu's articulation is clear and sweet but some pauses would have made a lasting impact.
6. Glad to see the book on Audible.
7. Great effort, please keep on inspiring fellow women professionals.
