🎄✨ Greetings from Taiwan!

As I immerse myself in the festive spirit here and take a short Christmas holiday break here surrounded by family and friends, I'm reminded of the importance of taking a moment to breathe, reflect, and cherish those we hold dear.

This year has been filled with growth, challenges and most importantly – learning and countless memories. I'm deeply grateful for each and every one of you to have played a part in this, whether in our professional collaboration, sharing of ideas, or simply an exchange of kind words.

I hope this holiday break serves as a beautiful reminder to all of us to be kind to ourselves. Let's find time to rejuvenate, laugh, and create lasting memories as we power into the year ahead.

Wishing you and your families, teams, and loved ones a heartwarming Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with boundless joy, opportunities, and prosperity in 2024! 🎉❄️

Happy Vietnamese Teacher's Day! 🌟 Today, we celebrate the cherished occasion of "Ngày Nhà giáo Việt Nam," embraced by students, parents, educators, and communities throughout Vietnam.

In my almost 20-year corporate journey across leadership development, HR, and learning roles, the opportunity to teach and positively impact lives is a treasure I deeply value. Whether in my 4-year leadership coaching/consulting practice in Vietnam or my HR role with a prominent Korean educational organisation expanding in Vietnam and the region - Contributing to this noble cause has been a genuine gift and privilege.

On this special day, we extend heartfelt recognition to teachers in Vietnam and worldwide, expressing gratitude for their dedication in shaping minds and futures.

Let’s not forget - In the realm of professional growth, teachers, coaches, and mentors can be indispensable guides:
➡️Teachers lay foundations, imparting knowledge and discipline for our chosen fields.
➡️Coaches refine abilities, offering specific insights as our ‘thinking partners’ and provide real-time '360 feedback' to enhance our careers.
➡️Mentors act as trusted advisors, providing long-term support, sharing life lessons, and inspiring us in our professional journeys.
Together, these pillars of professional development guide us from novices to experts, emphasising that success is a collective effort.

Happy Teacher's Day! 🎉 Let us continue to celebrate these guiding stars that inspire us all! Let us value the spirit of learning and inspiration – as teachers and students. 🍎📚

Have you found your teacher, coach, and mentor? Embrace their guidance, for they hold the key to unlocking your true potential.

At its very heart, this transition requires a view along with an appreciation and awareness of managing People, Process and Stakeholders.” ⁣

It was fascinating to run an immersive and experiential program with a group of cross-functional managers, representing key talent for British University Vietnam . ⁣

During these workshops, participants appreciated the importance of looking beyond their immediate ‘horizon’ to break perceived barriers and ‘reimagine’ ways of communicating, collaborating and influencing others.”

It was fascinating to cover this topic with a group of mid-level managers from a leading German automotive equipment manufacturing organisation here in Vietnam. During this workshop, I asked a department head about some observable behaviours from her teams, which reflected this mindset.⁣

We agreed that this mindset is characterised by i) Thinking (and Seeing) Big ii) A willingness to take risks and iii) Operating in a manner.⁣

Harmony isn’t Homogeneity!

During a recent leadership transition program with mid-level executives from a leading Asian beverage company, we had some interesting discussions about the Type Indicator and its applicability.

As part of the department, these leaders are often required to engage in ‘high stakes’ conversations, while delivering to demanding stakeholders and customers in a deadline riddled world of actions and projects.

After an interpretation of their individual or (from the questionnaire results) and a better understanding of and during the workshop, there was a general consensus about three things:

1. Awareness is an inside-out journey of discovery; It begins with Self first, and Others later.
2. This discovery is never an 'exact science' and can never be 'superimposed' on others.
3. During this discovery and related conversations (requiring us to demonstrate persuasion, influence, empathy and 'big picture' thinking) we may sometimes have to choose between 'stepping back' or 'powering ahead'.

As an , I often like to make the case that this exercise goes far beyond seemingly 'pigeonholing' individuals into four letter personality labels.

Far from it, it is one of the most relevant, practical and dynamic personality-based frameworks with universal applicability for a wide range of leaders and professionals across experiences, roles and levels.

To put it simply – The journey of , and (using MBTI) can help provide a common language for , and *****on in , while appreciating , and

As a trusted and to organisations here in Vietnam and Asia, N-TWYNE Leadership, I have often had interesting conversations around:

- Designing and career development ecosystems, which truly enable effective, experiential and 'boundaryless' learning

- Offering individuals and teams a unique set of learning experiences and paths, which most closely resemble their natural career and role progression over time

- Helping individuals and teams ‘take charge’ of their own (and others’) learning through connections and communities of practice

With this in mind, I am happy to announce our partnership with Surveys & Simulations. Starting with Quarter 1, 2022, we have successfully deployed this tool for a series of learning engagements with some of our valued client partners here in Vietnam.

This unique platform has truly been a towards , and learning experiences.
