Wong Yu Jin

UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL
Use challenges and adversities to reveal and elevate your life 

In the toughest of times and darkest of challenges, we still retain one freedom – the freedom to choose the meaning given to any event, no matter how disruptive or devastating. This meaning in turn, will define the person and the path he or she takes, which ultimately leads to success or failure. One cannot control what happens to one in life, but one can always control what one will feel and do about what happens to one.

Through a flowing storyline interspaced with lessons, Yu Jin will narrate his tumultuous journey from being at the height of the corporate world as a successful lawyer and investment banker to burning out and trying his luck in the world of entrepreneurship. He lost his life savings, borrowed hundreds of thousands, lost all of it and along with it, his wife and his health. He tells of his tale of alcoholism, depression and ultimately a failed suicide attempt.

Yu Jin then brings his audience on an emotional roller coaster ride of first rebuilding his mind, then his body and ultimately his business. He shares yet another challenging story of a business partner who went rogue, took all he had and forces him to start over again. He ultimate triumphs and is now an award-winning speaker and owner of 5 successful businesses.

An expert story teller, Yu Jin shares powerful lessons on how one can become mentally tough and not just bounce back, but thrive in any challenging situation. Great for industries or corporations facing challenging times.

Keywords: mental toughness, resilience, challenge, disruption.

POWER UP, BUILD TO GROW
Build a successful organization by focusing on each individual

To build is to put together several parts to form something bigger or significant. In order for a company to be successful, each individual employee must tap into their inner resources and strive for peak performance.

In a highly interactive and a powerfully energetic keynote, Yu Jin will get everyone to seek their “orenda”, a force believed by the Iroquois Indians to be present in all objects or persons, and to be the spiritual force by which human accomplishment is attained or accounted for.

Yu Jin will narrate his story of how he lost his health through the devastating events in his own life and gained it back to become the cover model of Men’s Health. He quotes various research and example of how the body and mind is deeply connected. In order to achieve peak performance, one must optimize both the body as well as the mind. Only then can one attain one’s true potential.

Yu Jin demonstrates how movement is key to not only getting the body healthy, but also to switch emotions and open up the mind. Combined with specially crafted music, he expertly engages audience to participate in his movement activities with energy and enthusiasm.

A magical combination of music, movement and invaluable lessons, this keynote will leave audience energized and empowered. A perfect kick-off or ending keynote to any conference.

Keywords: peak performance, high energy, motivation, inspiration.

TRINITY OF SUCCESS
The skillset, toolset and mindset for long-lasting success

In order to succeed, old-school skills such as great communication, strong networking and deep subject knowledge are insufficient. While they are essential to success, in this fast-paced 21st century disruptive times, we need to have two more elements – the toolset and mindset.

The toolset refers to the readily-available but often underused instruments available for modern day executives. Digital products, automation, software, artificial intelligence and social media are great tools only if one makes full use of them. Yu Jin demonstrates how a disciplined approach to using tools, especially online ones, is the only way that one can reap true benefits for success.

The mindset refers to how we must believe that qualities or traits are not simply a hand we are dealt and have to live with. Our circumstance is just the starting point for development. All of our qualities are things that can be cultivated through effort.

In this interactive talk, Yu Jin will ask probing questions like “Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide deficiencies instead of overcoming them? Why look for friends or partners who will just shore up your self-esteem instead of ones who will also challenge you to grow? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you?

Yu Jin will demonstrate that the passion for stretching oneself and sticking to it, even when it’s not going well, is the hallmark of success. Combined with the right skillset and toolset, the Trinity of Success enables people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives and become the best versions of themselves.
