Pandora’s box has opened. We are past the point of no return. The world turned upside down. Whichever way you want to describe it, our world broke in 2020. Individuals, companies, and countries scrambled to deal with a constantly shifting and uncertain environment. Thankfully, with vaccines now being rolled out, a return to some form of normalcy is on the horizon. But a return to normalcy does not mean a return to business as usual.

I have had the pleasure of being part of the Global Shapers Community for the last two years. And during this time, it has been an a lot of fun. There is no shortage of colorful characters here in the Hong Kong hub, and together we’ve organized panels, meet the leader sessions, fund raisers, and retreats. Covering topics from sustainability, mental health, asylum seeker-refugees, and basically any other topic in-between. We’ve laughed, cried, and played.
