– An Interview with Emiko Rasmussen
If you’re like many Japanese women, you may hesitate to speak up or have a different opinion from others in corporate meetings. You don’t want to be seen as bossy or too direct or not caring.
That’s the potential cost of being bold that Emiko Rasmussen raises in part 2 of our conversation on the Sasuga! Podcast (click here to listen to part 1 – If Your Mind Says No, That Means Go).
In Episode 61 of the Sasuga! Podcast, you’ll also hear Emiko’s advice on how to take the shortcut to success, including
- How to grow personally and professionally when people at work don’t support you
- The difference between climbing the corporate ladder and climbing the corporate jungle gym
- The benefit of having a mentor and why it’s crucial that you invest in yourself
Enjoy!

Here’s the quote that Emiko shared from Sheryl Sandberg
“Aggressive and hard-charging women violate unwritten rules about acceptable social conduct. Men are continually applauded for being ambitious and powerful and successful, but women who display these same traits often pay a social penalty. Female accomplishments come at a cost.”
