What I have been doing recently

It has been a while since I blogged and many people asked me about what I have been doing recently.

To answer, here are some of the things I have been doing since end of last year in no particular order:

• Networking, finding leads, talking to many people and doing due diligence for my future job. Finally, I finalized my plan to move back to Vietnam to work in operations for a young online company.
• Preparing for my transition from every front, namely work, home, family, etc.
• Training and coaching some people to take up my current tasks when I leave.
• Preparing for a new member of my family. We are expecting another baby by October.
• Lots of project works and traveling (mainly to US). We finally took our Business Systems Consulting services to mainstream and position it to many big corporations.
• As a part of my USGuide volunteer activities, helping MBA applicants (mainly US applicants) to plan their career and ask critical questions about if and how MBA could help, as well as doing some mock admission interviews. Lots of works, interesting moments and many success cases.
• Networking and planning with my mentors, friends and colleagues about future contact.
• Consolidating my experience and knowledge, generalizing methods and tools for wide application scope.
• Identifying gaps in my knowledge and skills, starting to fill in some and setting up support network for each area. I also practice Precision Questioning after taking a workshop with Vervago.

Transition is a fun process though I have been through many, and again, I will strive to live up to the challenges to prove who I am.

Hi A Tien,

You haven't blogged for so long! I kept checked it out for a while but didn't see any new update, so I thought you stopped writing already :)

So you will finally come back to Vietnam! I kept wondering what was your final plan, and just e-mailed you to ask just last Friday. Where will you locate then?

And you will definitely live up any challenge, I'm sure.

P/S: Is there anyway I can get an update whenever you have new entries, just like the friend system in Yahoo 360?
