Stories
From

Mekongers

Applying Jeromosity and
Springthrough at NTL to cause
breakthroughs.
Looking back, I still remember
my first encounter with the
NTL’s leadership team back in
October. It was a déjà vu
feeling, with lots of flash back
from Traphaco. The leadership
team of NTL and Traphaco
shared many similarities. They
are from the same generation,
educated locally in Vietnam,
speak very little English and
have a very “old school” style
of leadership/ communication.
Quang Harry Porter
It was relatively easy to
generalize.

However, I have decided that they should be
given a fair chance/ a fresh start to demonstrate
their capabilities. I started on a blank page and
see them as our partners (many of them also
own shares in NTL) and that we all have a
common goal of helping the company to realize
its Vision. 4Q2017 was an eventful quarter at
NTL. The company delivered great breakthroughs
in the key VDI elements of Drivers and Annual
Milestones (bottom-up budget for 2018 with
significant inputs from individual branch
managers), KPIs (KPIs for 2018 fully cascaded).

“EXPERIENCING
THAI PLUM
TRANSFORMED
MY LIFE
FOREVER”
– Thu Ha
What made you decide to go to Thai Plum?
Before visiting Thai Plum, I had only known the
village through M. Giang about M. Giang’s own
experience that has changed her life. M. Giang’s
Before was a person suffering from personal issues.
M. Giang’s After is a fresh and energetic person.
That made me feel curious.

You mentioned that Thai Plum experience has changed
M.Giang. And that made you feel curious enough to
come. Anything has changed in you after the visit?
I realized that what I thought before about the state of
“be-here-now” was wrong. I thought that it was
impossible to achieve the state of “be-here-now”. But at
Thai Plum, not just the monks but also the guests, and
even animals here seem to show me that “be-herenow”
state is real and very possible to achieve.
Since the day I left the village, each time I have negative
feelings, I immediately practice “singing-meditation”. It
works. Now, my new-me says that we can change
everything. Life is a flow. Life is simple. And I will go with
the flow!
Thank you!

First time experiencing the new way
Drawing is not about thinking to
draw, but about drawing your
thinking, your feelings and senses.
of drawing

This experience made me feel stress-free and limitless
boundary. I do not have to try to draw beautifully. That
opens space for me to draw freely and creatively. The
coach and the way the coach coaches remind me of
the beings of Six Forces. It is “Now Lover”. This was the
first time in a space with music, and all feelings come
from music, I imagined many things while listening to
the music. Also I saw many of my colleagues’ feelings
through their drawings. From that, I understand myself
better and also my colleagues better. Like the case of
M. Giang, I always saw M. Giang as an energetic and
talkative person. But now I saw another dimension of
Minh Giang – a person who is deep. I hope we will
have more workshops like this one that would bring
new perspective and interesting experience to
participants.

“I CHOOSE US”- Relationship
and Marriage Coaching
A healthy marriage has deep and widespread
implications. It not only affects the married couples,
but also their children and grand-children. A marriage
that is based on “Love-connecting” not only lasts, but
also develops, and brings unlimited benefits to the
family and to society.
