May Lam Rocco is a successful businesswoman who was born in Hong Kong to a traditional Chinese family. Despite her traditional upbringing, she managed to become one of the most prominent businesswomen in Taiwan and Hong Kong. However, the male-dominated society eventually caught up with her and forced her to walk away, losing everything except her son. May recently released her first book, Conflict Dance, which chronicles her inspiring journey of healing her relationship with herself and her son and rebuilding her confidence. During the conversation, May explained the differences between the Chinese and Western societies, particularly in terms of the male-dominated society she grew up in. She spoke of her family's background in business, and how she asked her father for permission to lead a project when she was working for the family business. May is now dedicated to helping others rebuild their confidence and heal their relationships with their family and children.

 

May Lam Rocco was born in Hong Kong and went to school in England. She recounts a defining moment in her family when her father refused to let her take over a business project, instead insisting that it was the responsibility of her older brother. This experience shocked her and highlighted the difference between Asian and Western culture. In traditional Asian families, boys are still considered the dominant members of the family, whereas in the West, everyone is considered equal. May Lam Rocco believes that this is an important message to share in her book about her journey and traditional upbringing.

 

May Lam Rocco was a part of her family's business and had always been a voice in the business. However, she experienced a critical moment when her father decided that her brother should be listened to instead of her. This emotional surprise caused her to decide to leave the family business and her marriage. She left the multi-million dollar business and took her son, who was eight years old at the time. This was the second critical turn in her journey.

 

May Lam Rocco experienced a big shock when her father made a decision in the family business without explaining why. This was especially upsetting because she felt like her opinion as a woman was not important. As a result, she decided to leave the family business and her father still called her for a couple of months until she made it clear that her brother should handle the business. Looking back, she realized that her shock was because she was not treated with the same respect as her older brother. May Lam Rocco also shared about her decision to leave her marriage which she knew from the beginning was not the right thing for her.
