Succession isn’t just about passing the baton — it’s about building the track for the next race. In this reel, Dr. Kevin Cheong breaks down how multi-generational family businesses often falter after the second generation, when cousin-consortiums replace sibling-leaders.

He offers practical wisdom: if the business isn’t growing as fast as the family, conflict is inevitable. His strategy? Equip the third generation with entrepreneurial muscle, give them their own “kingdoms” to lead, and let them earn their own trophies.

“𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘴 — 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘰𝘰.”

𝐒𝐨𝐋 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 2025 – 𝐃𝐚𝐲 3 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐩

The final day of the Global SoL Forum brought us back to the heart of this gathering: culture, connection, and collective action.

We began with a Fireside Conversation on Culture Regeneration with Bel Villavicencio, Tebogo Mogaleemang, hashtag#TruongPhung, and Ranganayaki Thangavelu, exploring the question: What in your culture would you like to share with others on the journey of personal mastery? Their stories reminded us that mastery is always rooted in culture—and those roots can sustain global healing.

“We often forget that we are part of the very system we want to change. If we don’t see ourselves in the problem, it’s hard to be part of the solution,” Tebogo reminded us, grounding the morning in responsibility for both self and planet.

From there, participants moved into two transformative workshops: Robert Steele and hashtag#KateDore facilitated Navigating Collective Impact with the Sustainability Compass, offering tools to align action with ecological and social values. Meanwhile, Yong Kiat Peter Seah guided Generating Connections and Actions Toward A Flourishing Future, a space to link insights across systems and translate them into action.
The day closed with an energizing keynote from Alan AtKisson, who urged us to embrace optimism—not as passive hope, but as active belief in our ability to shape a better future. His talk, “2026 Ahead,” was a call to step forward with courage and clarity.

We ended in a circle of reflection, where voices from across the region shared what gives them hope: spaces like this, where solidarity becomes a lived experience. With that, the seed of a SoL Vietnam Community was planted—an intention to carry this spirit forward, rooted in local leadership and global solidarity.

✨ The truth echoed as the SoL Global Forum 2025 Vietnam closed: real change begins within, and it grows through community.

𝐒𝐨𝐋 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 2025 – 𝐃𝐚𝐲 2 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐩

Day 2 at the 𝐒𝐨𝐋 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 2025 in Vietnam was all about going deeper—into ourselves, our leadership, and the systems we are part of.

We began the morning with two 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐬. In one room, participants explored “𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳” with Stephen Gianotti, Dr. Patricia Gianotti, and Dr. Hoh Kim. In another, a smaller group joined “𝘗𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺,” a reflective session on uncovering the unseen obstacles that hold us back from leading with clarity and authenticity.

The afternoon opened with a powerful Fireside Conversation on Community Impact, hosted by Robert Steele, featuring guest speakers Jimmy Pham AM-MBA, H.Doc Bus- RMIT, Nguyen Cong Niem, and Nguyen Thu Hue. From building social enterprises to leading grassroots initiatives, each shared how personal mastery sustains long-term commitment to community. Their stories reminded us that deep impact always begins with inner clarity and purpose.

Later, we welcomed Adam Kahane for a 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘏𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘴, followed by a 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 with Stephen Gianotti on what it really takes to collaborate for change.

Adam challenged us to rethink how we engage with complexity, reminding us: “𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩—𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴.”

He left us with a simple but profound invitation: work with a crack. Look for that one place—however small—where something can shift in your organisation or community. Then begin there.

The day closed with a warm 𝑫𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝑺𝑻25, where reflections continued over food, laughter, and new connections.

From inner awareness to systemic action, Day 2 bridged the personal and the collective. As we head into the final day, we carry the energy of honest conversations, courageous questions, and a shared readiness to lead differently.

𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐋 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 2025 – 𝐃𝐚𝐲 1 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐩
Day 1 of the Global SoL Forum 2025 in Vietnam was nothing short of inspiring.
We began with a powerful Welcome Address by Mdm 𝐂𝐚𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐢 𝐍𝐠𝐨𝐜 𝐃𝐮𝐧𝐠, Chairperson of HAWEE, and Stephen Gianotti, SoL Global Chairperson. Their remarks set the stage for a day of learning, reflection, and connection, reminding us that lasting change begins within.

The morning Fireside Conversation on 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺, moderated by Tara Kimbrell Cole - Leadership Coach and Systems Thinking Consultant, brought together Chris Freund, Tina Thao Tran, PhD, MBA, and Tassinee Vajarasthira. They shared candid reflections on how self-mastery shapes leadership. Tassinee put it simply: “𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥—𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺—𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳.”

The afternoon featured the interactive Workshop “𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦”, co-facilitated by Dr. Ramesh Ramachandra and Poorani Thanusha, with case insights from Quang Nguyen and Cao Khanh Chi. Participants explored leadership dynamics through a live business case, uncovering practical lessons for navigating organizational change.

Momentum carried into the evening with a thought-provoking session on Impact Velocity, led by Poorani Thanusha, and the Opening Keynote by 𝐃𝐫. 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞. Peter reminded us that personal mastery is the foundation of collective transformation. When asked about reconciling the paradox between organizational impact and environmental harm, he emphasized embracing creative tension, confronting contradictions, and holding a shared vision as essential practices.

We ended the day with cocktails at 𝐌𝐚𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐰—an evening of connection and community, weaving the relationships that will sustain this journey.
Day 1 was rich with insight and exchange. The stage is set for the conversations, practices, and collaborations to come.

Talent Leadership Crucible

Dr. Ramesh Ramachandra, DBA, will bring decades of entrepreneurial
leadership, and advisory experience into this workshop. As Founder of
Talent Leadership Crucible, she has coached and guided family enterprises
and corporates across Asia through transitions, conflict, and succession. Her
deep grounding on entrepreneurial mindset, innovation and family business
makes her a unique voice in demonstrating how culture change and personal
mastery interlock to transform organisations from within.

Poorani Thanusha, principal consultant at Talent Leadership Crucible, will
complement this with her expertise in designing leadership journeys that
awaken purpose and align teams toward collective impact. With a strong
background in leading transformational programmes across industries and
countries, she focuses on how leaders can activate their highest aspiration.

Their workshop, Taking The Path of Least Resistance, A Business Case,
highlights the inner shifts needed to drive meaningful culture change,
offering leaders pathways to reimagine governance, succession, and growth
through authenticity and resilience.

This session emphasises why transformation cannot be imposed externally
— it must be cultivated within leaders themselves and embedded into the
DNA of organisations.

The SoL Global Forum 2025 will be held from 26–28 September in Ho Chi
Minh City — the first time this global gathering takes place in Asia. Over
three days, leaders, practitioners, and changemakers will explore Personal

Chris Freund’s personal journey of transformation will set the stage for the
fireside. To reshape Mekong Capital’s culture, he will show how personal
breakthroughs ripple through teams, organisations, and ultimately Vietnam’s
private equity landscape.

Tina Thao Tran’s story will represent the next wave of leadership in
Vietnam. As PNJP CEO and PNJ Vice Chairperson, she will reveal how
personal mastery has given her access to find her own place at the table
and define the impact she wants to cause. Dr Thao shares how personal
mastery is the very first step of being an effective person and a role
model for oneself, the team and in society.

Tassinee Vajarasthira will bring the deeply personal dimension of mastery.
Known as Khun Waew in Thailand, she will share how her spiritual journey
and leadership at Abbra Corporation converge, offering lessons on building
companies that embody both resilience and humanity.

Moderator Tara Kimbrell Cole will connect these diverse voices into a
coherent story about leadership in practice. Her ability to translate insight
into actionable reflection will ensure participants understand how mastery,
when practiced daily, transforms not only leaders but the systems they serve.
This fireside will demonstrate that personal mastery is not an abstract
concept but a lived practice — one that will shape how industries,
communities, and families thrive in the decades to come.

The SoL Global Forum 2025 will be held from 26–28 September in Ho Chi
