#leadership #wevealldoneit #professionaldevelopment

In this episode, I speak with Communication Coach Erika Ng. Coming to us from Indonesia, she shares her ex-pat working experiences throughout the years. Together, we dig into...

• The pitfalls of hiring friends
• How far we will go to be in the 'circle of trust'
• Forgiving our inner mean girl
• Toxic tendencies crossing cultures

 Erika's Bio
Communication Coach. Podcaster. Expat.

My mission is simple – I want to help people. Cheesy as it may sound, it's the truth. In a world where we can connect with people at the click of a button, we've also become more divided. I’m from Canada but have spent the past nine years living as a cultural minority abroad. This experience has shone a light on the differences in how people share and receive information, making me realize just how heavily we lean on assumptions in our daily interactions.

Now, I'm based in Bali, armed with the hard-earned wisdom from my time abroad. I work closely with clients, expanding their self-awareness, exploring various perspectives, and equipping them with the communication tools they need to achieve both personal and professional success.

At the end of the day, we humans are social beings, making communication a crucial life skill.

In my free time, I host a podcast called "Self-Help Junkie." Here, I delve deep into topics alongside experts and book enthusiasts, unraveling the challenges they've faced and the enduring habits that have led to their success. Our debut season centers around the theme of romantic love, covering everything from the intricacies of jealousy and shame to the world of erotic massages.

This episode features my first international guest, Matias Sorevik.

Together, we talk about:

• Creating future leaders
• How to best engage our youth
• The power of leading with compassion, not command
• Similarities across the globe in engaging our youth

Enjoy!!

Matias Bio:

I started my professional career in the Royal Norwegian Air Force, and thereafter I studied economic geography. Upon graduation, I worked full-time in Sales and Customer Relationship Management. During this time, I learned essential career skills in terms of leadership, people management and mindset development. My experiences from working in an international and diverse environment, provided me with a unique understanding of cultural differences and workplace communities across the World. 

Eventually, I decided to move onto the field of entrepreneurship and social innovation, that I now work on. Using personal experiences from my school days as a teenager, combined with lessons learned from my professional career and travels across Europe, I work towards helping young people with identifying their interests, develop their leadership skills, and motivate them to find what drives them during their personal journeys.

I believe that there is a solution to every problem, and therefore continuously look for new knowledge to identify new opportunities, and make those available for all, in order to create social innovation and possibilities for everyone.
