The Master’s degree has transformed me as an individual and professionally. Personally, I was especially disrupted by the notion of business ethics and social responsibilities in business context during these courses. I was also confused and felt lost about understanding the meaning of empowerment in gender issues. I posed many questions about my identity as a Korean Canadian, my subjectivities as a business owner, an English teacher and an academic-driven individual, and my values and beliefs, which were seated in myself and my leadership for a long time. However, going through the stages of deconstructing and intervention, I could refine and redefine my position as an immigrant woman in Canada, and my leadership approach from transactional to transformational and servant leadership principles.
