My 5 lessons from Vietnam

By Peter Sorgenfrei · Founder and CEO coach · 70 founders and CEOs coached across 15 countries

Traveling always brings new perspectives.

After almost three weeks offline in Vietnam, I thought of five reflections I wanted to share with you.

These lessons apply to life in general and your life in business; let me know if they ring true.

New for December: The December Homecoming. Ten weeks, one to one, for 3 founders who want to go into the new year rested and home for dinner. Applications close Friday 27 November.
