"If You Love What You Do, You’ll Never Work a Day in Your Life." – Marc Anthony   Achieving this level of job satisfaction isn't easy, but finding joy and motivation in work that allows me to utilize my skills for the success of myself and others is a great place to start. I'm excited to announce that I'm leading a new project, #Polaris, aimed at delivering career guidance programs to fellow Singaporeans/PRs. Having navigated through a period of unemployment and career uncertainty myself, I'm passionate about helping others plan their careers effectively to avoid the hardships I faced.   Work is a crucial part of our lives, yet many of us lack a career plan.

Developing global talent relies on sending top talent into emerging markets early 🌍 💼 This coincides with the strong need for 'purpose' that talent pools have today 🔥 In my own experience, having the opportunity to work abroad has been very purposeful. 👉 You can learn new ways of working (and compare them against what you are used to) 👉 You can work with diverse teams to innovate more creatively 👉 You can collectively contribute to global companies becoming high-performing. The purpose comes from ensuring that you are having a wide-impact on the world and society. Sending your high-potential talent abroad to work...could be one of the best ways to develop them; presents them purpose... ...and can help them to perform effectively and retain within the business. Did you ever want to be sent abroad early in your career? #expat #talentdevelopment #highperformance

Dear Followers, As we embark on a new week, let's fill our minds with positivity and our hearts with determination. At Weena Trading Asia Investment Company, we believe in the power of smart decisions, adaptability, and unwavering focus. In the dynamic world of business, it's essential to stay on course and prioritize what truly matters. By minimizing distractions and making swift, informed choices, we've witnessed remarkable growth in our company. Successful collaborations with customers and suppliers are a testament to our dedication and expertise. Vietnam's thriving economy presents a wealth of opportunities. The increasing number of digital nomads and European middle-class individuals seeking a better quality of life is a clear indicator of its potential. We're excited to be at the forefront of this trend, working with companies from Russia and Iran to facilitate trade and investment. One of the significant advantages of doing business in Vietnam is the absence of import taxes on Russian products. This favorable economic climate has created a fertile ground for growth and expansion. While the cultural landscapes of Asia and Europe differ, it's important to recognize that the people of Vietnam and Thailand possess a straightforward and pragmatic approach to life and business. This directness can be a refreshing contrast to the complexities and uncertainties often found in Europe. The current political and economic climate in Europe is undoubtedly challenging. The proliferation of fake news, excessive taxation, and the detrimental impact of green policies have created a sense of instability. It's no wonder that many Europeans are seeking refuge in more stable regions like Asia. Vietnam's immigration policies offer a stark contrast to the turmoil experienced in Europe. Our well-managed borders and commitment to safety and security provide a stable and welcoming environment for both residents and foreign investors. The growing relationship between India and Vietnam is another positive development. As India's economy continues to expand, its citizens are increasingly exploring business opportunities in Vietnam. The availability of cheap oil and gas from Russia further fuels the region's economic growth. If you have questions about Vietnam or other Asian countries, please don't hesitate to follow us. We're committed to providing you with valuable insights and information. Let's embrace the new week with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. Together, we can achieve great things. Best regards, Stefan Wooning Business Director Weena Trading Asia Investment Company LTD Hanoi Vietnam

🌟 Today is International Men’s Day: Honouring Men’s Contributions to Society 🌟 Today, we celebrate the vital contributions #men make to society—especially those in the resource, mining, and transport industries who keep #Australia moving. These men power our economy, provide for their families, and play critical roles in their communities. From extracting the minerals that fuel our energy needs to ensuring our infrastructure gets built and maintained, their efforts shape the country we live in. #InternationalMensDay is a chance to reflect not only on these contributions but also on what it means to be a positive role model. This year’s theme, “Positive Role Models,” is close to our hearts at NB Industries. It aligns with our core value of “Share and Solve,” where mentorship, mateship, and creating a supportive workplace are key. We also recognise the challenges men face. In Australia, male #suicide claims one life every three hours—a stark reminder of the need to address not just mental health but also the pressures men face in their roles. Today, we honour their strength and resilience while committing to doing more to support their well-being. Join us in celebrating the men who power our industries and inspire us to work together for a better future. Mick Selby Director, NB Industries
