E73: Celina Lee Executive, Speaker, and Career Coach

Celina is a University of California Berkeley School of Law graduate and works as an Executive, Speaker, and Career Coach. In our longest and most compelling episode yet, Celina takes us on a journey filled with transformative insights, raw reflections, and invaluable career advice.

Her story begins long before law school, even before undergrad. Celina was born in California, but moved to Korea when she was three years old and finished elementary  school in Seoul. When she moved back to California during middle school, Celina faced challenges that would shape her future in unexpected ways. She shares the fascinating tale of how a multi-hour interview with an MIT alumnus—whom she unknowingly coached into a career change—paved the way for her own admission to MIT. This pivotal moment laid the foundation for her future endeavors

After college, Celina spent a year in investment banking, a detour that ultimately led her to law school. She walks us through her decision-making process, revealing the framework she used to navigate such a major life change. Once in law school, she confronted the all-too-common experience of burnout, only to discover a paradoxical truth: the less she studied, the better her grades became.

But Celina’s journey doesn’t end there. Post-law school, she dives into her experiences in the legal field, culminating in the realization of a childhood dream—writing a book. After years of practicing law at the highest level, she made a bold leap into career coaching, where she found her true passion.
