Find Your Voice Asia. Accepting Who We Are. To fear judgment is normal because we are social animals that needs to feel accepted by our tribe. But as we become more aware of ourselves, we need to grow out of our primitive mind and into the conscious mind. We must CHOOSE how we want to be seen and stay true to our hearts. To clear honestly and clear, we must be truthful. Start with kindness and openness and it’s up to others if they accept us or not. Not everyone will. Accept that too. To reduce fear before speaking or presenting, remember this point. #speakingtip #fear #stagefreight #publicspeakingtips #findyourvoiceasia

Did you know that one in five New Zealanders identifies as Māori, yet many still face deep-seated stigma and misconceptions about their culture? I know this struggle all too well. Growing up, I experienced what it felt like to be whakamā—embarrassed about being Māori. My internal dialogue was shaped by the constant murmur of harmful stereotypes around me: people calling Māori “dirty” or “useless.” It was everywhere, and it weighed on me. But here’s the truth: We are so much more than that. There are countless stories of strength, resilience, and achievement among people of Māori descent—stories like mine that often go untold. The problem is, not enough of us feel empowered to share those stories. We let the stigma silence us, when in reality, our voices are what’s needed to challenge the narrative and inspire pride in our heritage. If you’ve ever struggled with identity or pride in your culture, know this: your story matters, and sharing it can be transformative—not just for you but for those who hear it. Let’s start a conversation. What does cultural pride mean to you, and how have you overcome challenges tied to your identity?

YOUR CULTURE IS YOUR BRANND-How is traditional Korean culture, such as Hanbok and Hanbok tea ceremonies, being preserved in a rapidly modernizing society? By Hugo Keji In South Korea, traditional culture, including aspects like Hanbok (the traditional Korean attire) and Hanbok tea ceremonies, is being actively preserved and revitalized amidst rapid modernization. South Korea's government, cultural institutions, and individuals are making concerted efforts to maintain these traditions while ensuring they remain relevant in a

It's always better to work with what you have rather than fretting over what you don’t. Recently, I had the pleasure of giving a talk at the Philippine Consulate's Paaralan sa Konsulado program, where I introduced Filipino American kids to some lesser-known Filipino superheroes. We dived into the stories of heroes like Darna, Kaptain Barbel, Zsazsa Zaturnnah, Panday, and Flash Bomba. These characters, while not as globally famous as Superman or Wonder Woman, hold a special place in Filipino culture and narrative. What fascinated the kids—and even me—was the common thread among these superheroes: they all worked with what they had, whether it was a stone that fell from the heavens or a magical golden barbell, they used what they had and turned it into something super. During the talk, we discussed how these superheroes didn't waste time wishing for different powers or circumstances. Instead, they harnessed their unique gifts and made the best out of them. Darna, for instance, transforms into a powerful heroine by swallowing a mystical stone, while Kaptain Barbel gains his strength from a magical barbell. Each of these characters found their strength and heroism in the most unexpected places. This struck a chord with the kids and sparked a lively discussion about how we can apply this superhero philosophy to our own lives. Many of us spend a lot of time fretting over the things we don't have, but the reality is that we're capable of doing pretty awesome things if we focus on what we currently possess. Whether it's a talent, a skill, or even a personal trait, there's always something we can leverage to make a difference. So, take a page from the book of Filipino superheroes: look at what you have, embrace it, and turn it into your superpower. You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve when you stop worrying about what you lack and start working with what you’ve got. #WorkWithWhatYouHave #FilipinoSuperheroes #EmbraceYourGifts #mirandism #unapologetic #unapologeticdude

🌕 Tonight, Thailand celebrates Loi Krathong—a beautiful festival where small, candlelit floats are set adrift on water, symbolizing the release of negativity and the embrace of renewal and hope. It’s a powerful reminder of the power of letting go of what no longer serves us. In both our professional and personal lives, we’re bombarded by negative thoughts—most of them subconscious. These thoughts subtly shape our beliefs, habits, and ultimately our behaviors. Yet, negativity isn’t inherently “bad.” In fact, it can act as a valuable wake-up call, signaling that something important requires our attention. Without these moments of discomfort, we’d likely overlook critical lessons and repeat the same mistakes. The essence of Loi Krathong lies in acknowledging these thoughts, learning from them, and then releasing them—so they don’t continue to derail our performance, relationships, and well-being. While this festival comes around once a year, this practice is something we need to embrace daily. If you, your team, or your organization are looking to transform negativity into clarity, growth, and rediscovering your best selves, I’d love to help. Let’s connect. 🌊✨ #LoiKrathong #LeadershipDevelopment #TeamDevelopment #LeadershipMindset

🌟 How I truly understood what does Filipino concept of Bayanihan mean… The other day, I was playing tennis on a court 30 minutes away from home, part of the journey through an unpaved road. 🌿 Mid-training, a heavy rainstorm hit. I had an important meeting afterward and needed to get back home, even though the unpaved road had turned into a mud pit. My motorbike was literally swimming in the mud, but I made it to the main road. 🌧️🏍️ Why bike? In the Philippines, learning to ride a motorbike is essential. I searched for the nearest car wash to clean the mud caked on my tires and between the spokes of my bike. Unfortunately, a blackout had struck the entire municipality, and no car wash was operational. My bike needed to be in good condition to climb up the mountain where I live. 🏞️ As I tried removing the mud with a stick, a few ladies from a nearby stall noticed my struggle. They called their sons, and soon enough, four people were helping clean my motorbike to ensure I got home safely. ❤️ I'm always mesmerized by these acts of kindness. Filipinos won't let you struggle alone 🤗 Even without knowing you, they'll support you without expecting anything in return. Reflecting on this experience, I realized there are some heartwarming lessons we can apply to our business lives: Start with Yourself: Be helpful to anyone who might need assistance. Remember those moments when a simple act of kindness made a huge difference for you. That’s the kind of impact you can have in your professional network. Build Genuine Connections: Surround yourself with like-minded, genuine people. Just like those kind folks who helped me with my bike, true connections are based on caring and trust. It’s not about what you can get, but about who you can support and grow with. 🤝 Build Supportive Networks: A network that supports each other is the strongest. When you have people around you who lift you up, share your challenges, and celebrate your wins, everyone thrives. This unity and mutual support brings real growth. 🌱 Have you experienced similar acts of kindness in your life or business? How did it make you feel?
