I love and care deeply about our evolving story----How will China exist in harmony with the West this time around?Still, I left China in 2017. Even before the pandemic, I had a general sense that the "reasons" I wanted an expat assignment in China were diminishing.My son was born in Irvine, California in 2019, and I began writing books to contribute to a more positive conversation regarding China through business.It's a crowded scene.In a pivot, I just released my first children's book, "What do you say to a friend from China?"Maybe I can make a more positive impact with the next generation.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9YFCD31"If you know who you're dealing with and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred negotiations."I am an American-born, self-published author of Chinese descent with 20+ years of experience working in Greater China as an Expat manager, entrepreneur, instructor, consultant, and China business coach. My life's mission is to create radically new forms of content, training, and advisory programs to help my fellow Americans understand HOW Chinese people think, WHY they feel the way they do, and HOW to develop more constructive communication patterns. Beginning with the first trip with my parents to Mainland China in 1983 to my first business trip to Shenzhen in 2004, I have struggled to understand my Chinese heritage within the context of my American cultural values. My "dream girl" wife, born and raised in a 4th Tier City in Hunan Province, is an ongoing experiment in cross-cultural communications. And my 3-year-old son Jayden, born into a pandemic world divided, is an ABC (American Born Chinese) like his father, but his reality is an entirely different world.Growing up in Atlanta, GA, my future was bright and full of opportunities. Jayden's future is uncertain, but I am optimistic that the best of humanity will find common ground with each other.Armed with new insights and perspectives, those I serve will know how to navigate the complexities of Chinese business culture, form deeper Guanxi relationships, and create more constructive interaction patterns with their Chinese counterparts.
