Let me share with you my personal story, a journey from confusion to living in harmony with my life's purpose. This journey has dramatically changed my life.
Background
I was born, as Hai Vo, just after the Vietnam War, in a time of turmoil and change. My father was a boat refugee, and I did not see him for four long years. When I was six, I arrived in the Netherlands, a strange country where I grew up between Dutch and Vietnamese cultures. I struggled to understand where I belonged, and during my childhood I carried a lot of unprocessed emotional pain.
Career
I graduated from TU Delft with a Master's degree in Technology, Governance and Management. After graduation, I lived for no less than 11 years in countries such as South Africa, Ukraine and United Arab Emirates. My career took me into the world of IT entrepreneurship, outsourcing and digital transformation consulting. I learned to do business in diverse cultures and environments. Most of all, I found joy in training and coaching young professionals with great potential.
Personal Crisis
When I reached the age of thirty, I experienced a personal crisis. I struggled with health problems, relationship problems and even bankruptcy. I was at a turning point in my life where I had to rediscover my own value. Almost everything seemed lost except my own identity.
