What we know now and what we know pre-COVID has drastically changed. Everything we thought was the norm is now a pleasure - including eating out! This week we have someone who turned their passion into a business - he simply started by making meal prep for his sister as a side project and it quickly turned into Grams 852. Here is how he did it!

How to become an artist in Hong Kong? Jonathan Jay Lee #34

Awkward Turtle At Work

04/18/22 • 37 min

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.

Awkward Turtle At Work

08/21/23 • 26 min

One of the best conversations I’ve had so far on the show & I will be splitting this up into 2 episodes!

Everyone is talking about safe spaces, but how do we actually create them? The schools need them, the workplace need them, and frankly in society. As always we chat about these topics with the Asian perspective:

Failure and the power of ‘I don’t know!’
The intergenerational gap in the workplace
The ‘human’ skills we need to hone in on

Joanna is Director of Hotung Mills Education Foundation. She is the Founder of the KG Group, which has seen over 80,000 young people pass through its doors, and alumni are studying at prestigious universities or working in a wide range of fields worldwide. Prior to this she worked at PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Marks and Spencer, Head Office, London.

Joanna has degrees from the Universities of London and Warwick, and is a Licentiate of Trinity College London. She is an Arts Advisor to the University of Warwick, and a Board Member at The Women’s Foundation, Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong, Youth Diabetes Action, Playright Children’s Play Association, and the Hong Kong Arts Festival.

Among many awards, she is winner of South China Morning Post Women of our Time and the American Chamber of Commerce Women of Influence Entrepreneur award.

#11 - Mabel Lau | Calligrapher | You have to try a lot of things

Awkward Turtle At Work

06/13/21 • 40 min

What’s in your head when you hear Chinese Calligraphy? A retired old man who studied Chinese Literature? This is further from the truth - Mabel doesn’t see knowing Chinese as the basic requirement in Chinese Calligraphy, nor you have to be old. Chinese Calligraphy is so much more than just writing words, it is an art that can help meditate, a medium to express personal beliefs and feelings! Since Mabel turned her weekend interest into a passion, she has already gain strides in the business world with Chinese Calligraphy, and I might start taking this up myself!!!

Awkward Turtle At Work

11/20/23 • 36 min

On this special Trans Remembrance Day, we are thrilled to bring you our final episode for now, featuring the remarkable Schuyler Bailar. In this conversation, we dive deep into Schuyler's newly released book, 'he/she/they,' a powerful exploration of their personal journey and experiences as a transgender individual.

As we honour Trans Remembrance Day, we celebrate the resilience and strength of the transgender community. This episode serves as a platform to amplify voices and foster understanding. It's a reminder that everyone's story is unique and deserving of respect and recognition.

Although this may be our final episode for now, it's not a goodbye! We're grateful for the incredible guests, insightful conversations, and the support you've shown us. Stay tuned for more inspiring content as we continue to explore diverse perspectives and celebrate authenticity.
