The Leadership Catalyst: Igniting Inspired Change
Ashley Cheung explores leading multigenerational teams in urban environments. Using raccoon spirit characters, she addresses vulnerabilities, mindset differences, and social anxieties related to generational variances. Each raccoon embodies traits like resourcefulness, adaptability, belongingness, confidence, and wisdom. The narrative examines cultural roots and stereotypes affecting team dynamics. By fostering an inclusive environment and celebrating individual contributions, leaders can leverage the strengths of each generation. Cheung introduces the "Raccoons' Wheel of Wisdom" with five transformative microlearning moments at the end of each chapter, offering actionable strategies to inspire teams and promote innovation in today's evolving workplace.
Ashley Cheung
In 2020, I founded Virtual Patent Gateway (VPG) to provide on-demand paralegal services to Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) practitioners. My virtual services reduce clients’ overhead costs and provide them with agile staffing solutions. Since I started my company, VPG covered at least 100+ inter partes review, post-grant review and ex parte reexaminations for PTAB professionals. I am an immigrant from Hong Kong with over two decades of litigation paralegal experience, a strong work ethic, and an entrepreneurial spirit. The PTAB is an administrative body that was created only about a decade ago, so I saw the unique need for assistance in this new jurisdiction. I created VPG to fill that role.
As a minority business leader myself, I care about diversity, equity, and inclusion. That is why I have used VPG as a vehicle to increase social awareness, implementing programs that allow women and young creatives to gain experience and earn supplemental income simultaneously, even during COVID.
My coaching involves filing assistance for paralegals, law firms, and corporate departments who wish to master this very niche PTAB practice. Email me at hello@vpgateway.com to find out how VPG can help you grow your experience.
