About

Qi holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Stanford University, which led to her first career in finance—a journey that took her across the world, from California to New York, Singapore to Beijing, and Boston and back. While working full-time in finance and building a family, Qi pursued a second Master’s degree to make a midlife career transition into psychotherapy and coaching. Qi’s passion is helping couples and leaders develop higher relational intelligence, so that they can get the most out of their personal and professional lives.

KeyNote

In this talk, I tell the story of my crisis of mortality at age 27, career transition at age 40, and my current work with as a couples therapist helping clients ranging in age from their 20s to 70s rebuild estranged relationships. I offer 3 key takeaways for how to design your most fulfilling life, inspiring the audience to take action on aligning their true life ambitions with their actions.

Speaker Reel

I was so inspired by Qi’s Living Your True Colors speech. It was personal, it was professional, it was touching, and it was the best speech I have ever listened to! I was not the only one who teared up in the audience. Thank you for your amazing work, Qi

As someone with a multicultural upbringing, an interracial marriage and a high pressure job, I have experienced struggles that few could understand, relate to, let alone help address. Other therapy and coaching sessions I had prior to seeing Qi didn't really address the root cause of my problems and I almost gave up until I met Qi. Not only is she a wonderful listener, her diverse professional, personal and intellectual background resonates with me deeply. Her approach has been life-changing – I have been able to make positive changes and deepened the bond with my partner, my family, and most importantly myself.
