In celebration fo BT20, we wanted to take this moment and highlight important relationships that have made this milestone possible. The First Lady of BrokerTeam, Jen Lau takes us through her #EmpoweringDreams journey:
As I reflect on the 20th anniversary of our company, the theme “Empowering Dreams Together” resonates deeply with me.
It encapsulates not only our organization’s vision but also my personal journey from the moment I walked through the doors to where I stand today.
Before I joined, I was a young professional with big dreams and a determination to make an impact.
I had spent years honing my skills, building a vision for what my career could be, but I was searching for the right place—one where I could align my passions with meaningful work, and where my growth would be nurtured. When I found this organization, I knew I had found a place that valued not only what I could bring to the table but who I could become.
Since joining, my journey has been nothing short of transformative. The culture of empowerment that is woven into the very fabric of the organization has fueled my growth every step of the way.
I’ve been fortunate to work with inspiring leaders and colleagues who have supported my development and provided me with opportunities that I could never have imagined when I first started.
As the first lady of this incredible company, I’ve had the honor of wearing many hats: from collaborating with amazing teams to shaping strategies that drive us forward.
Each step of the way has taught me invaluable lessons in leadership, resilience, and the importance of nurturing others. I’ve realized that empowerment isn’t just a one-way street; it’s about lifting each other up, providing support, and sharing success.
Through this, I’ve been able to pass on the same encouragement I received to the next generation of leaders in our company.
The opportunities I’ve seized have been nothing short of transformative. From gaining critical leadership skills to embarking on projects that pushed me beyond my comfort zone, every experience has shaped me into the professional I am today.
I’m grateful for the mentorship, the challenges, and the empowering environment that has allowed me to dream bigger and reach higher.
Looking back, I realize that my story is not just my own—it’s a part of the company’s story. “Empowering Dreams Together” has been our guiding principle, and through it, I have found my own dreams fulfilled, both professionally and personally.
I am honored to be part of an organization that believes in the collective power of its people, and that empowers each of us to reach for what once seemed impossible.
As we look to the future, I encourage you all to reflect on your own journeys and ask yourself: How can we continue to empower each other and help our dreams take flight?
Together, we are more than the sum of our individual efforts. Together, we can achieve greatness.
Here’s to many more years of growth, empowerment, and shared dreams.
Let’s continue to dream, build, and succeed—together.
