Happy Friday !

It's been a while since I've wrote this newsletter - and I'm so glad I've some time today to sit down and write to you :)

It's the start of the weekend and you may have a bunch of social events and meet ups. But what if you're just DRAINED? Here are some tips:

👉 Respect your natural energy: you don't need to speak as loud as your extroverted friend. Find your natural style of speaking and socialising.

👉 Take intentional pauses between sentences. This allows your LISTENER to process what you said, and for YOU to take a breather.

👉 Ask questions, so the other person can speak too!

👉 Conserve energy by making subtle reactions, instead of excessive and dramatic ones. I show you how here.

If you're going to a networking event, party, or meeting new people, here are some resources for you to network and connect with people better!

👉 How to connect with anyone, watch here

👉 If you're connecting with people who are different from you esp from different countries... watch this

Apart from that... travel updates ~ I just came back from Laos 🇱🇦 and will be flying to Penang 🇲🇾 this Monday.

Turns out we picked the worst possible time to travel Laos — it was raining everyday and the waters are brown and murky. Some of our pre-planned activities had to be cancelled. Just like in life, circumstances may change our plans. But one major mindset shift completely turned our trip around! Read more in my LinkedIn Post here!

We ended up having so much fun cooking, silk weaving, and planting rice with Susan the buffalo!

Sometimes (in fact most of the time), uncertainty and change can become possibility and fun!

I'll be sharing more about my travels on Instagram Stories here, and meanwhile, I invite you view my newest GUIDE on IG: Global Travel Stories here, where you'll learn some powerful lessons I've received from courageous people from around the world :)

If you've recommendations for good food and adventurey-nature-fun in Penang, ping me and let me know!

As always, If you want to further elevate your speaking and communication and truly Own Your Voice, you're invited to join the Own Your Voice 6-months coaching program, find out more here, or watch my free masterclass to get a clearer idea on what your immediate focuses should be in terms of owning your voice.

Remember, you have everything it takes to Own Your Voice.
