THRIVING IN THE NEW NORMAL
(2nd program)
An online Coaching Program with the Power of a Community
30 Nov - 16 Dec
After months of coping with ever stricter and stricter directives we have entered a new phase in Vietnam.
But what is it going to look like? Certainly not look like the world we left behind a few months ago with kids still learning from home.
What is our New Normal going to look like? How can we shape it?
These 6 Group Coaching Sessions over 3 weeks are your space to reassess your priorities, and to take control of your life again.
We’ve all coped with things we never thought we would need to cope with in the past few months.
Women, in particular, have been juggling our work with home schooling and housework.
BUT we are getting ready to create our New Normal!
Let's do this together!

SPARK! CONNECTION
- 4th Online HAPPY HOUR
31 AUGUST 2021
Resilience is our learned capacity to cope with any level of adversity and to bounce back.
Our guest at our next SPARK CONNECTION Happy Hour Huong Dang had to practice her resilience since she was a little girl. This Pandemic, however, has added unknown challenges: how to continue running her social enterprise HopeBox to provide income for survivors of domestic violence? How to, in her other role as the Director of Strategy and Partnerships at another social enterprise, KOTO, keep up a 20 year long success story of providing skills training for underprivileged youth - when your restaurant can't welcome foreign tourists anymore, and later needs to close because of continued lockdowns?
How do you not give up, but keep your spirits up to keep on going?
Social connection is one thing that makes us more resilient; and in this spirit I'd like to invite the women+ in my network to stay connected.
We're meeting again online next Tuesday, the 31st from 5.30-6.30pm ICT.
Our Happy Hour is an intimate and energizing place – our way to stay connected, spark new connections, relax, and share stories of how we're keeping our spirits up in these exceptionally trying times.
Join us to listen to Huong Dang's stories and to share yours.
THE TALKS OF EMPOWERED ROSES

The live fundraising event “The Talks of Empowered Roses” intends to share inspirational stories from successful women, despite the difficulties or disadvantages they have faced during their journey.
The event’s aim is to raise funds for Little Rose Warm Shelter, a safe place for underprivileged girls between the age of 10 to 17 years old - where they can live and continue their studies to experience a better life.
Joining us in the event are 3 remarkable women who have achieved significant success in their respective fields:
* Pham Thi Thu Thanh: a former para-athlete & gold medalist from Vietnam.
* Irene Ohler: co-author of the book “Ba Trieu’s 21st Century Daughters”.
* Kelly Vo: Head of Philanthropy Services at LIN Center & creator of the podcast “Dear Our Community”.
In addition to their success, they have spent a great deal of time devoted to building better communities; be it through their own means, or by inspiring others.
