A recipe to a successful mentor-mentee relationship

“Access to knowledge is easy, but access to wisdom is difficult.”

- Kym Huynh

Founder of WeTeachMe and EO Melbourne’s Past President

What is the best recipe to a successful mentorship experience? There may be many ways to make the most out of the mentorship program, but for John Paolacci, Director at KMG Advisory, and his mentee Kym Huynh, it was more than just learning how to deal with their respective businesses but it is also about enhancing their perspectives in life and contributing to their personal development.

During their most recent mentorship sessions, John invited Kym over to his house and prepared his father’s gnocchi with him. Kym watched John closely while he cooked gnocchi in his kitchen. Kym found meaning and inspiration from this experience.

A Reflection: EO Melbourne’s “Our Best Year Yet!”

In retrospect to the year 2020 and how it has become one of the most challenging years in modern times, EO Melbourne Past President Kym Huynh recalls how it has affected the chapter and highlights the lessons that the experience has brought to him.

“Think of that one thing that when you achieve it, will make you want to jump up on the table, pop open a bottle of champagne, and start dancing.” This was the picture that Kym painted when he wanted people to consider what needed to happen for the 2019/2020 year to their best year it. It also coincidently happened to be the EO Melbourne’s 2019/2020 theme.

What quirky hobbies do entrepreneurs have?

Hobbies can help an individual learn new things, acquire additional knowledge, declutter the mind, bond with people who share the same interest, and warm the heart. Hobbies are beneficial to the physical, mental and emotional well-being of a person, especially to entrepreneurs and business leaders.

Intriguingly, some entrepreneurs have quirky hobbies that show us their fun side that we do not get to see most often. EO Melbourne members share their interests when they’re not on their laptops immersed in their business.

Music Makes Better Entrepreneurs

How has music played in your personal and entrepreneurial journey? For some, it helps relieve them of stress while others use it to pump some energy into their day.

Entrepreneurs live busy lives as it is, which are often filled with stress and pressure from various angles. With the challenges that the current crisis brings and the uncertainty that the future beholds, they need more than ever to turn to methods and solutions that can contribute to their mental health. Music is one tool that brings energy to a lethargic mind and respite to a weary soul.

Let’s get a closer look at WeTeachMe Founder Kym Huynh, Koh Living Director Tui Cordemans, Liston Newton Advisory Director John Liston, and Marketing Melodies CEO and Founder Dean Cherny on the role music has played in their lives.

President's Update - May

From the President

Dear EO Melbourne,

Reflecting on what I most want to share with everyone this month, an idea my mind turns back to is that of service. From the contribution I have witnessed Member-to-Member as we collectively lean on each other (“we are stronger together”), to being witness to our Board ideate, plan and execute on our 90-day Member Support Plan and thinking beyond, to watching our Chapter management team learn how to navigate the technologies of webinars and think outside-the-box, to Past Presidents and tenured Members appearing out of the woodwork to support, guide and lead, one word that encapsulates the entirety of the above is “service”.

President's Update - April

From the President

Dear EO Melbourne,

EO is here for you. As we approach renewals, if a Member wants to stay in EO, EO will find a way to make that happen by combining 3 support packages: (1) Global; (2) Local; and (3) Scholarship Fund (to provide renewal relief for those severely impacted by COVID-19).

On Friday, 8 May, we will announce the Local Support Package and information on how to access the Scholarship Fund if your business has been impacted.

President’s Special Update on Sustaining EO Melbourne Through the Crisis #2

From the President

A single hand can easily break a lone stick, but if the same hand, or even both hands, gather many sticks into a bunch and then attempts to break them, the task becomes more difficult. Similarly, when we stand together, we become ever stronger, collectively smarter and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges. One thing I know with certainty is that we never need to navigate life’s challenges alone.
