“Our firm hosted Betty as our guest speaker for our marquee Women's History Month event. Betty's session was powerful and engaging. She expertly aligned her compelling personal story with her DEIB subject matter expertise. The feedback has been unanimously positive and we are a better firm for having welcomed her into our space.
- Bobby Codjoe, Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at 
Morrison Cohen LLP
“I worked with Betty to co-create a Women's History Month event for my organization. She was a delight to work with. She lives her values, and they are reflected in her work. While she has many existing content packages that could work right off the shelf, she worked with me to customize the presentation for my organization, making it very special.
Betty impressed me by involving her intern in the creative development process, allowing a young woman of color to gain experience and learn about her business. I highly recommend Betty for any diversity, equity, and inclusion projects you may have; she knows the space well and brings invaluable lived experience.”
- Diane Jones Lowrey, Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at
Common Sense Media
“Our relatively new DE&I Council recently worked with Betty to align and refresh our mission statement and goals as we head into 2023. She focused our energy and attention through a series of break-out activities, Kahoot learning, and her PO-LING Power model. Her ability to gain our confidence and attention helped us reach consensus and get to the place we need to be. Her energy, expertise, and practical guidance paid off. I hope to continue DE&I engagements with her on behalf of my clients.”
- Sandy Kazinski, Director Learning and Development, Diversity & Inclusion at Brookfield Properties

"I had the great experience of working with Betty for our firm's AAPI month event.

- Mike Rho, Growth Architect at Boston Consulting Group (BCG)
“On behalf of Tapestry's Asian Heritage Alliance, I invited Betty to be a keynote speaker during Asian Heritage Month in May 2022. She spoke about dispelling the Model Minority Myth and shared personal stories. Betty also helped us understand how to talk about inclusion, diversity and belonging with our children, along with specific actions we can take to create conscious inclusion. Her talk was well attended. Betty is an inspiring leader and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend!”
- Diana Ng, Sr Director, Global People & Organizational Development at Tapestry

“As a keynote speaker for our Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month event, Betty was a consummate professional who delivered a greatly impactful presentation that is at once thought provoking, humorous, and highly informative. Her use of the Kahoot! game helped both in-person and virtual audiences to get really into the subject. The event went so well that we discussed subsequent diversity and inclusion activities. I would highly recommend her as a professional speaker – have her present and see a totally engaged audience!”
- Chi-Wen Ho, Sr. Specialist, International Benefits at Integra LifeSciences
“I had the great pleasure of interviewing Betty for our company’s celebration of AAPI month. She shared her compelling story of overcoming challenges as an Asian American in both her personal and professional life, as well as the inspiring story of her mother’s remarkable advocacy work. Through her colorful commentary, she also shared how she uses her own very practical decision making framework to ensure that her life choices are aligned with her purpose of helping others. Some of our AAPI employees reached out after the event expressing how much her stories resonated with them and how emotional it was to hear her talk openly about challenges that they have endured silently. Betty is engaging, authentic, and an all around fun person, and these characteristics come through quickly and clearly when you chat with her. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to meet her through this event and look forward to following her continuing thought leadership on building inclusive organizational cultures, as well as her many travel adventures and hobbies!”
- Ling-Ling Nie, Deputy General Counsel, Chief Compliance & ESG Officer at Aura
“Betty knows just how to set an audience at ease and invite them in. She's welcoming, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with. You can tell she cares greatly about the work that she's doing - as she met with us several times to ensure the presentation felt relevant for our audience and would connect with them meaningfully. Since she's spoken, I've had several colleagues at different levels share how inspired they felt by her talk to examine their own pain, and turn it into positive action. Thank you Betty for going above and beyond for us!”
- Tabitha Ashura, Senior Manager, Strategic Initiatives at TransPerfect

"Betty added an important voice to anchor AllianceBernstein's AAPI Heritage Month activities. She listened to our needs and objectives to tailor a conversation: "From Pain to Purpose & Promise: Practical Solutions to Countering Implicit Bias with a Positive Mentality and Sustainable Action". It was widely attended across the AB Asians Employee Resource Group, C-Suite Executives, and allies across the firm. The talk was powerful and impactful, providing an education about the struggles and microaggressions minorities face as they try to grow their careers and creating a call to action for employees and managers alike to identify and embrace our superpowers. Betty's vulnerability in discussing her own struggles, authenticity in presenting opportunities for growth, and flexibility in tailoring her content to our specific needs made this event a great success. We look forward to a continued partnership with Betty to advance AB's journey in diversity and inclusion! "
- Nelson Yu, CIO, Investment Sciences and Insights at AllianceBernstein

“The professionalism and empathy that Betty brings to an audience is outstanding. She navigates the nuances of Corporate America while addressing bias with achievable and sustainable actions. Actions that anyone can choose to adopt in their daily interactions. I also enjoyed her fearlessness in addressing the differences in bias among under-represented groups to support a truly inclusive environment. I highly recommend her as a consultant, speaker or as a thought leader who can bring an additional perspective.”
- Janine Ting Jansen, Senior Director of Inclusion & Diversity, NA at Teva

“Betty Ng from Inspiring Diversity,LLC has created what I thought was impossible: an engaging, fun, and stimulating interactive session on inclusion in the workplace. Her powerful anecdotes are complemented by hard data on what it takes to build an inclusive culture at work, including practical steps that anyone can take. If you think you’re burnt out from too many zoom lectures, consider this session as a catalyst to relight your inner fire, which yearns for a better workplace environment!”
- Richard Do, MD, Co-chair of Radiology Department IDEALL Committee at MSKCC

“Betty Ng is a pleasure to work with and extremely professional and flexible. We were able to work with Betty to tailor her content for our audience which resulted in so many questions and great comments coming through on the chat!

Betty thanks for partnering with us at SMBC.”
- Sandra Dorsey, Head of D&I, SMBC Group, AD 

“Betty is our first external speaker for the Asian & Middle Eastern Professionals Network and it was a huge pleasure to work with her. She tailored her speech "From Pain to Purpose & Promise" to meet our focus on diversity issues in career development, and during the presentation she guided us step by step on leveraging the amazing PO-LING framework to make ourselves stand out. Betty is a very inspiring speaker and we have heard a lot of great feedback from our members immediately following the event. Her personal stories motivated me to take a leap forward and I am very glad to be the moderator for her talk.”
- Yingshi (Avery) Wu, Investment Analyst at BlackRock

“Betty's work with diversity and inclusion continues to evolve. She is taking the topic beyond awareness to very practical approaches to individual's and work communities' on their actions. Her talk on "From Pain to Purpose & Promise" at our HBS Women's Association of NY (HBSWANY) session was excellent as it moved from her experiences as an Asian American growing up in Chinatown to what each of us as individuals can do as individuals in this current environment. It would be worthwhile for other organizations to spend time learning from Betty to improve their culture.”
- Kathleen Murray, HBSWANY Board
"I highly recommend using Inspiring Diversity and its founder/CEO Betty Ng to address the issues of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging ("DEIB") at your organization. Our department enlisted Betty’s help after trying to find an introductory event to explore the ideas of DEIB in a fun, engaging, and thought-provoking manner. Inspiring Diversity uses gamification platforms including Kahoot to allow participants to learn in a safe and fun environment without judgment. Betty developed and facilitated a fantastic "trivia" night to raise awareness and discuss issues around DEIB in healthcare. The participants loved the format and had a great time covering issues that can be very sobering and often contentious. She certainly inspired our group to continue our efforts to have more open conversation, communication, and create a culture of inclusion to drive success."
- Jeff Reiner, MD, Co-chair of Radiology Department IDEALL Committee at MSKCC
"Betty Ng is such a vibrant, engaging speaker that we, at the Asian Network Association (ANA) within American Express, felt extremely fortunate to have her as part of our speaker series panel on cultural diversity and inclusion. Betty extends a unique perspective into the subject and provided some great advice and action items on how individuals and companies can implement these valuable strategies."
- Reah Wagh and Jonathan Chan, Asian Network Association, American Express
"I have looked at multiple different methods, and attended many discussions, around effective decision making. Betty Ng represents the first time that I have seen a successful professional able to articulate their decision making process in a way that can be easily absorbed by others. I am particularly impressed with the extent and fidelity of the resulting evaluation, given the ease of use when applying the PO-LING POWER method. The evaluation criteria are general enough that the method can be applied to a wide variety of decisions (personal, family, professional or business decisions), but focused enough that an evaluation can not only enable an effective decision, but can source areas where additional effort may need to be applied for an opportunity to become more viable. Understanding your PO-LING POWER is an effective way to evaluate the direction of your life/work.
- Jennifer Hussey, Strategic Planning Engineer, Intel Corporation

- Clayton Banks, CEO of Silicon Harlem
"I'm so jazzed about the Inspiring Diversity community….It is rare to find a deep and meaningful leadership model that honors both one’s obligation to others as well as to oneself. Betty and her mother have tapped into that universal truth. The PO-LING POWER framework is an incredible tool to guide people to fulfill their potential, while being fulfilled. Every aspect of the advice is thoughtful, pragmatic and insightful. I highly recommend that people who strive to achieve great things read this and keep it close at hand, as a reference manual!"
- Irene Chang Britt, Retired Fortune 500 C-Suite Executive
"I had the pleasure of working with Betty where she shared her PO-LING POWER platform with our company. Betty's story is truly inspirational but her passion for elevating others to achieve their own success is genuine, undeniable and infectious. Since our initial meeting, I have applied the principles she outlined in her book and I can say firsthand that they have added value to my professional practice. I can also attest that others too have applied her principles and has since been promoted to roles of greater responsibility and they too acknowledge Betty in their recent success. From a corporate perspective, Betty's value to improving organizations is deeply rooted in her prior leadership roles in Fortune 500 companies where she gained invaluable experiences that contributes to her holistic approach to mentorship, advocacy and team-building. She has made me a better D&I Professional through our many engagements as she continues to challenge how we can improve diversity and inclusion as individuals and as organizations. Highly recommend connecting with Betty if you are seeking ways to engage your constituency and propel you organization to success. "

"Betty has shown that she cares not only about her community but others as well, and Inspiring Diversity exemplifies what it means to work together and help each other succeed. Betty’s recently published book PO-LING POWER has been a useful tool in empowering others to reach success by focusing on what matters. In 2018, our organization AABDC proudly presented her book to the 50 awardees at our annual Gala event the “Outstanding 50 Asian Americans in Business Award”. Through this event we have received many thoughtful words and reactions praising Betty and through her book, the positive changes she has contributed to people’s lives and careers. In my experience in working with Betty, she has been nothing short of professional and a delight to work with. She is also an inspirational speaker who does a great job moderating, advising, and storytelling!"

Her insights sparked a lively conversation between the event attendees, and I believe the attendees left the presentation feeling empowered to create change in their own businesses.”

Her newest book Po-Ling Power is a must read for professionals invested in their career growth. She's built an app that drives the importance of career goals and I'm an avid user and supporter."
- Yai Vargas, Founder, The Latinista
"I recently had the inspiring opportunity to hear Betty review her innovative PO-LING POWER™ approach in a very interactive and engaging forum. Participants learned a practical and focused approach to setting goals, being held accountable and obtaining feedback and support from trusted personal advisors. An active user of PO-LING POWER™ shared her real-life experience, including how it helped her re-examine her goals and map her path to success."
- Lesley Ma, Global CIO, Cadillac at General Motors
"There's nothing more inspirational than seeing someone who cares about what they do. Throughout the history, the best leaders always exhibit boundless energy and passion for what they do. In my opinion, Betty is such a leader who is astonishingly articulate and has the ability to convey complicated concepts in just a few phrases. She has strong conviction and beliefs to help others succeed at what they desire to achieve in life. More importantly, I have naturally discovered the unlimited power of her pragmatic Po-Ling principles that we all can easily put to good use in daily life. Once anyone starts experiencing the inner sense of realizing how powerful such framework can help them break the pattern of limiting beliefs, there’s nothing they can’t accomplish! Above all, Betty has the experience, expertise and track record to help anyone experience the possibilities! I resolutely believe in her outstanding abilities for helping anyone evolve in the greatest form of who they are!"

"The PO-LING POWER app really works. It allowed me to leverage my network to help me with my goals, resulting in an industry contact instrumental to understanding new AI developments at a tech company for research I was conducting."
- Steven Pae, VP, Goldman Sachs
"The Present Paradigm provided me with a useful framework for thinking more critically about my priorities and what energizes me. It helped me specifically think through the balance between work and parenting three kids, but I think it could be useful to people across all phases of life. After reading PO-LING POWER, I was inspired by the story of Betty Ng and her mother, Po-Ling. The book also offers a practical, actionable checklist for keeping your life on track with your goals and values. The Present Paradigm builds on PO-LING POWER to dig in even deeper. For those seeking organizational or personal transformation, I would highly recommend engaging Betty as a presenter or advisor."
- Susan Meier, Brand Strategist
"The PO-LING POWER app stands apart from other goal setting and productivity tools, of which I have tried many. Its in-built structure drives introspection, an action-orientation, and is embedded in community. The process of self-evaluating your “today” status feels wholesome, in that it recognizes our interdependent social context over our individuality. Rather than just gamifying progress, the PO-LING POWER framework makes you think in the context of your inter-personal obligations and needs... I highly recommend making use of Betty’s resources, by using the free PO-LING POWER app or working with her directly."
- Christina Ward, Innovation Consultant, Luminary Labs
"Betty is an inspirational speaker and she empowers the audience to succeed. She listens carefully to the professionals and try to find ways to help individuals succeed. She mentioned building relationships in the workplace and finding opportunities to join employee resource groups. I agree with her ideas that professionals need to follow these steps to succeed in their career."
- Eric Chen, Payroll Specialist
