Reflection from Hang Thu Nguyen – Vietnam
Thank you for the first engaging and insightful session. It was a pleasure getting to know you and the team.
Here are the key takeaways that resonated most with me:
1. Use “because” to explain your reasoning
This simple yet powerful tip helps clarify why I choose to do something. It strengthens my critical thinking and keeps me motivated in the long run. Explaining the reasons behind actions also helps align the team with the project’s goals, ensuring better understanding and collaboration.
2. Focus on one thing at a time
In today’s world full of distractions, I’ve realized the value of single-tasking. Focusing on just one task not only improves productivity but also helps me deliver better results. This is a habit I’m now committed to practicing every day.
3. Smile more—especially during interviews
This sounds easy, but in reality, I often forget to smile when concentrating on presenting or public speaking. I want to train myself to smile more naturally, as it helps build connection and confidence during interactions.
4. Review materials within 24 hours to improve retention
Although it requires persistence, I believe reviewing content shortly after learning will significantly boost my ability to remember and apply new knowledge.
The tips shared during the session were practical, meaningful, and easy to implement. I truly appreciate the guidance on how we can learn and grow more effectively—both personally and professionally.
Thank you once again. I’m looking forward to the next session!
Best regards,
Hang
