Motivation tips on
Channel News Asia
Companies spend fortunes to raise employees’
motivation, through awfully complex systems...
What if we managers had lost touch with the ‘natural’
drivers of people’s energy?
Then, what if we could (re)ignite just a few, most
simple actions in our daily-management, to boost our
co-workers’ motivation... and our own?
1-2-WIN Executive Coach Jean-Francois Cousin is
currently focusing on sharing those ‘natural’, simple
motivation tips for all, and for managers in particular.
On http://www.executive-coach-thailand.com/mediaroom.html,
you will find his articles in several media
and his radio/TV interview on Channel News Asia.
And, he will devote a public workshop on this topic
on 16th February in Bangkok.

Magical Bangkok by Night
Since November last year we have a new
tour: Bangkok by Night (Tour 6). This
tour shows you a very different Bangkok
than most of us know. By night Bangkok
is an almost magical place, right out of
a painting from Anton Pieck. By day
Bangkok is hot, very busy and crowded.
By night Bangkok is completely different:
quieter, cooler and more relaxed. The illumination
makes it into a true fairy tale tour!
This tour departs from the Grand China Princes
hotel at 18.00 hrs, and returns there at 21.00 hrs. Price
per person is 950 THB, children under 12 get 25%
discount.
Members of the NTCC and their guests receive 200
THB pp discount.

STV TRANSLATIONS New
Year’s Concert
Once again, a large number of people from the
Dutch community in Bangkok attended STV
TRANSLATIONS BV’s traditional New Year’s Concert.
Together with music impresario D&M Music Studio,
STV presented an appealing programme featuring
several young, talented Thai musicians.
They performed works by European
composers such as Mozart and Roussel, as
well as contemporary Thai composer Dnu
Hantrakul.
An informal gathering took place after the
concert in the garden of the Goethe Institute,
where STV’s guests drank a glass of wine
and enjoyed each other’s lively company.

offices in Amsterdam, Bangkok and Paris. STV has
been organizing a variety of cultural events since the
