Awkward Turtle At Work

Final episode of the series, I had to leave the best till last. Sonalie aka the Green Queen is on the podcast to share her story of starting the Green Queen. We spoke on some of the harsh reality women faces through education, the workplace and the general society. All these experiences nudged her toward taking a risk into starting her own business. 

No doubt Gen Z has a very different perspective on the world, let alone the workplace. Anushka is in her Final Year and is the CEO and Co-founder of many social-driven businesses. Her university experience was coupled with the madness of COVID and various world-changing events in this period. It is only right to hear what their thoughts are on the world of business and work. 

Storytelling is really the basis of this podcast, I wanted to bring real life stories to share with lovely humans in the world and what better way to get someone who is an expert at this! Imogen is a story ninja and award-winning writer. She co-founded Three Wise Sheep Productions to create film and television content that puts women at the front and centre of the story - which got her to attend some really cool film festivals! 

Pursuing art as a career is tough wherever you are in the world. How about being in a city like Hong Kong where Finance is at the heart of everything, and corporates careers are the most sought after? I met Jonathan Jay Lee last year at my TEDx talk and it was incredible to hear his story, the way he sees Hong Kong and his perspective on work and education is admirable. 

Having a lifestyle media platform online seems to be everywhere nowadays, but what was it like 13 years ago when this format of online media was almost unheard of?! Listen to the story on how she founded The Honeycombers! Chris is now ready to take it to the next level, lifting other Entrepreneur up by starting a community over at Launchpad - essentially giving us what she wished she had when she first got started! 

It does seem like the future of work will look a lot like working from home. It now seems silly that we don't invest in our home office! This week I want to bring a real-life example on how ‘finding your passion' really works. Kei Kei is a Certified Office Ergonomic Specialist, the Founder of EKOBOR – a company specialised in ergonomic furniture. Her passion came suffering from severe back pain during her pregnancy. She studied the correlation between health and correct posture, she started to explore and studied further on ergonomics and now Kei Kei's mission is to bring health and wellness to workplace through EKOBOR! 

Picture this. You wake up tired and you are late. It's a Monday morning and you have a presentation with your boss. You feel groggy and down. You just had to sprint to make the train. On your way out, someone bumps into you and someone's card was stuck in the ticket machine. Your day is now ruined, in fact, this is going to be a bad week until Friday night. I am sure we've all been here so many times before. Well, Gen is here to tell you on the podcast, we can put an end to this. 

Singing and making music is one of the top skills I wish I had! I have always been so envious of people who can do both - so this week we have Jodie Chan on the show, who is an independent Singer-Songwriter in Hong Kong. We talked about how music came to her life, why she decided to pursue it now after entering the world of tech in her day job, how she expresses herself through music and what she has learned along the way! 

WE ARE BACK! After a short break over Christmas and New Years - the Awkward Turtle pod is back! Let's kick off the show for 2022 with yet another amazing human who I had the pleasure to meet to through sport. Shannon is an ex-spurs (I know, this is painful for me) player in the UK and she's now out here in Hong Kong as the AIA Ambassador and Global Football Development Coach for Spurs. We of-course talked about how great Arsenal is (I wish!) but in all seriousness, we talked about how she got involved in the game, what challenges and barriers she has to face as a female athlete in a male-dominated industry, the great work she did for the game and what life after professional looks like for now.  

Todayyyy! I am going to sing my own praises for a few minutes if I may. This is going to be the last pod of the year and I want to recap on where this podcast has taken me and all the amazing experiences I had. Obvs will be talking about the Tedx experience too if you are interested! Anyways, wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you in 2022! ❤️

I was honoured to be alongside the hosts of In The Changing Room and KELY Support Group (This Hong Kong Life). The panel was of-course hosted by the wonderful Regina Larko who we had on #14 - the founder of #impact. We had this great discussion about the magic of podcasting, and some Q&A at the end with our live audience! We had such a great chat on stage, we thought we should share that with all our listeners, so here it is, enjoy! Follow GUEST on:#impact_ https://www.instagram.com/hashtagimpact/ In the Changing Room_ https://www.instagram.com/inthechangingroompod/ ‘This Hong Kong Life' Podcast by Kely Support Group_ https://www.instagram.com/kelysupportgrp/ Want to share your story?

We can all agree that the current school system is great for pumping out workers, but do we also agree that a linear school system may not be enough for today's world? One of the key messages of this pod is to inspire humans to really think what it is they want, and this week we have a Brain Coach explaining why that is paramount. Follow GUEST on:Instagram_ https://www.instagram.com/jocelthem/?hl=en Youtube_ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQAm7AlSKTAyZI83f5XxaQ LinkedIn_ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jocelynbrady/ Twitter_ https://twitter.com/jocelbrain Website_ https://www.scribestorystudios.com Want to share your story?

Really, how important is a degree? Jonaed Lqbal | Founder & CEO, NoDegree.com #23 They say that Education is the key to success. So des your Bachelor Degree determine how successful you will be? Does not having a degree mean you will not be successful at all? For me going to school means more than just learning academically, it also means to learn about the importance of hard work, team work, how to communicate with different people, how to exchange ideas and learn self-awareness - which ironically I feel we are lacking very much in the world right now. I have Jonaed on the show this week, the Founder & CEO of Nodegree.com, an online career resource for people without college degrees. Jonaed wants to remove the stigma attached to people who choose not to pursue a college degree. He believes intelligent people come from all backgrounds and experiences, every job contributes value to society. Follow GUEST on:Website_ https://www.nodegree.com Instagram_ https://www.instagram.com/nodegreepodcast/ LinkedIn_ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonaed Facebook_ https://www.facebook.com/NoDegreeInc/ Want to share your story?

In today's noisy world, it's easy to lost sight on what we really want. There are distractions everywhere. I have been thinking about finding a mentor, but I don't really know what is mentoring? Why should I get a mentor?

There is still so much stigma around aspiring athletes or entering sports as a career. Today we have 陳婉婷(牛丸) who is the first-ever female football coach to have led a professional men's football team in top flight football.

Podcasting is growing to become one of the mainstream media platforms, we are seeing more and more celebrities and sponsors getting in the game. The beauty of podcasts is the intimacy you can get directly with your audience, but there is still an apparent gap in the types of stories we are getting, so Jerry took it upon himself to build a media company to amplify the voices of Asian Americans. Here is our chat about how he left the corporate world to pursue his passion! Follow Jerry on:Instagram_ @Jerryjwon https://www.instagram.com/jerryjwon/ Club House_ @JerrywonLinkedIn_ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerrywon/ Just Like Media_ https://www.justlikemedia.com Want to share your story?

Hello Humans! Welcome to new and improved Awkward Turtle - Season 2. The Awkward Turtle - At Work. This podcast is all about people, passion and profession. With me, your host, Emery.Now, the reason why I wanted to do a podcast about work, is because I have realised something quite bad and unhealthy. I have realised 90% people I know hate their jobs and hates Monday. And I am sure you know what I mean. Work is always a word we avoid during evenings and weekends. But why should it be this way. Work is huge part of our identity as a person, it shapes our lifestyle and our communities so imagine how much more fun we can have if we actually loved our jobs?!
