The Power of the Only by Angela Chee

The Power of the Only by Angela Chee

Being The Only is not a weakness, it is your greatest strength. The Power of the Only is for anyone who has ever felt the tug to do more, to be more, but held back because they didn’t feel ready—or because the voices around them said they couldn’t. It’s for those who want to unlock their full potential but aren’t sure how to overcome the internal and external barriers standing in their way. In this interactive coaching book, Angela Chee—renowned media and communication coach, keynote speaker, and host of the acclaimed podcast—shares her journey as a pioneering Asian American woman in the media alongside empowering stories of others who have embraced the power of being the "only" in a room. Through research studies, actionable strategies, and heartfelt insights from trailblazing leaders—including CEOs, founders, filmmakers, and her everyday clients—Angela demonstrates being an “Only” is not a weakness, but your greatest strength. The book introduces the Five Principles of The Power of the Only and shows you how to own your voice and thrive in any environment: 1. Own Your Opportunity. See your "only" as a gift, not a burden. 2. Own Your Power. Recognize you already have everything you need inside you to succeed. 3. Own Your Voice. Know what you say matters. 4. Own Your Communication. Communicate with confidence, clarity and connection. 5. Own Your Future. Focus on thriving, not just surviving. You bring others in and carve a new path to follow. Each chapter is filled with reflective exercises and practical tips to help you implement these principles in your own life. Whether you’re leading in the boardroom, stepping onto the stage, or striving to live more authentically, this book will guide you to embrace your individuality, communicate with confidence and break through the barriers holding you back. Timely, deeply relatable and a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of identity, leadership, and visibility in today’s competitive landscape. By the end of this book, you will have the awareness and tools to step into your "only"—the version of you that no longer holds back. The world needs "Onlys" to show up and own their power, because when they do, the impact is exponential—transforming individuals, organizations, and society.
