About the Book

Boldly You: Discovering What You're Capable of When You Show Up for Yourself is a close-up look at the hardships, life lessons, and stories of resilience of author Janet T. Phan. In this honest, insightful, heartfelt account of Janet's experience as a young woman struggling to overcome the obstacles in her life, readers will find wisdom and advice to help them rise above their own circumstances, recognize their limitless potential, and achieve their goals. This book is about what's possible in a person's life when they recognize that they have the power to define their future.

As a young woman, Janet faced countless realities that made her path to success difficult. Her family relied on government subsidies, such as housing and free meals at school. Her first-generation Vietnamese parents, in a culture so different from their own, didn't always understand how to support her curiosity, ambitions, and goals. But she believed in herself and had the courage to act on those beliefs, so she found a way to build a community around her and develop the skills she needed to make top grades throughout her education while working multiple jobs and pursuing her dreams. In her book, Janet shares the key takeaways from her experiences that led to her success today as a driving force impacting the STEM field and as the Founder and Executive Director of Thriving Elements, a nonprofit dedicated to providing access and opportunities for underrepresented, underserved girls through mentorship. Boldly You is a self-help book that reads like a charged and poignant memoir.

​Written for high school and college students, young professionals, and all those who are dreaming of their future or figuring out their paths in life, this book will inspire and guide. Every chapter concludes with Thriving Elements, critical learnings from the author's journey that will help readers show up for themselves, be open-minded, build their confidence, be situationally aware, and be biased for action. Janet's story is proof that you can be your own person and create the life you want.
About the Author: Janet T. Phan began her career in technology as an IT intern at Weyerhaeuser in Seattle, Washington, while attending the University of Washington (UW). After graduating from UW with a Bachelor of Arts in Finance and Information Systems, she accepted a position with The Boeing Company in IT. In 2013 she graduated with a Master of Science in Information Systems from UW and shortly thereafter, joined PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) as a technology consultant. Today, she is the principal program manager for Microsoft, responsible for structuring and driving technology programs around the globe and across various technical and non-technical workstreams.

Mentorships loomed large in Janet's early life and she credits her mentors with contributing to the success of her technology career, a field dominated by men. As a result, she is a strong advocate for mentorship and bridging the gender disparity in the STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics, & Engineering) fields. For this reason, she became the founder and executive director of Thriving Elements, a nonprofit dedicated to creating access and opportunities for underserved, underrepresented girls through long-term, one-on-one mentorships in STEM. With Thriving Elements, Janet strives to develop and empower young girls and women to enter the fields of STEM, make a sustainable impact, and inspire the next generation of women leaders.

In her personal life, Janet maintains an active lifestyle, freeing her mind and recharging her energy through spending time with incredibly big-hearted friends, cross-training, surfing, volleyball, hot yoga, American football, hiking, and snowboarding.
