Living and Leading with Gratitude and Grace with Chau Lui of Paris Jewellers
In this episode of the FoundHer Series, Carrie Scollon sits down with Chau Lui, the co-owner of Paris Jewellers, a women-owned, Canadian jewelry company that has grown to 22 locations across four provinces.
From humble beginnings, Chau’s entrepreneurial journey is one of resilience, hard work, and a deep commitment to family values. Chau shares how the family business began with a dream and a dictionary. Her immigrant mother with no English, trained to be a goldsmith and eventually opened a small jewellery store in rural Alberta. Chau was taught the importance of grit, family, and doing things with love. Her mother’s quiet strength and perseverance shaped a leadership philosophy: “Let your actions speak so loudly that I can’t hear your words.”
As Paris Jewellers has grown into the 29th largest retail jewelry chain in North America, Chau’s core principles of hard work, integrity, and gratitude have been the foundation for success. She asserts that your belief in yourself must always outweigh anyone else’s opinion of you. She also emphasizes how gratitude can shift your perspective and drive you to do meaningful work, as demonstrated by Paris Jewellers’ commitment to supporting communities and raising over a million dollars for women's and children’s charities.
This podcast episode highlights valuable life lessons echoed in the company's core values including how gratitude can transform your perspective and your business.
