Surviving death during his escape after the fall of Viet Nam in 1975, he sees the world from a lens of gratitude and has been the foundation for all his hopes, dreams, and vision. His stories demonstrates how volunteerism is the best platform for professional and personal development.

Great, great talk!
What an inspiring talk! Will be sharing with he people I know in business and the kids in business school. So important to remember be able to give back to the community!
Great talk. I agree. Volunteer work is most rewarding when we can afford to do it! Bravo. Anh Tien (Mtl) 👍
Cam on Anh Tien!
Mr. Nguyen, I can't thank you enough for this talk. I've been working for a university in the Atlanta area for 5+ years. I sometimes feel that my job is pointless because people just don't see the importance or volunteerism; they only see service as a class requirement. I grew up volunteering in a variety of different activities, so I know how service can impact the community. I I just wish my students could see the bigger picture! Thank you for renewing my faith in what I do and for inspiring me to peruse my own personal dreams!
HI there,
i should be the one thanking you. I did this Talk and did not promote it to anyone and believe that it will be found by those who will feel the impact and purpose of this talk. You are not alone and neither am I. Know that no matter what others say, people around you have already felt the difference you made (I'm sure of it) and more will feel your impact and will be grateful for your love and compassion. All the best and please feel free to stay in touch! (tuan@healthgenie.ca)
I do believe that VOLUNTEERING makes you as a person you have become now. And we make a difference in this world we live in. :-)
Thanks for the comment! You rock! Keep the love alive )
Dear Tuan Nguyen, I'm Vietnamese and so proud of what you have done and presented. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your message! Wishing all the best!
Appreciate you sharing how volunteerism benefits personal development.
We recommend to our volunteers a learning approach first before venturing out to assist, service and volunteer. People teach, not schools so educational travel is a good way for people to connect and respect the outside world. Robert Newton - Volunteer Project Manager - Volunteer Inns
Thank you so much for sharing Robert! All the best and thank you for being part of making the world a better place!
Inspirational talk, Tuan, you are a gift. Thank you for following your heart.
Meredith Berkich Hi Meredith, Thank you so much for your kind message. Here's to growing while helping others!
I'm teaching a summer school class in which volunteering is a component and I love your thoughts on the subject. I'm using this video to express how important it is for these students to get outside of themselves and start helping others in some way. Thank you for this talk.
Michael David Thomas Hi Michael - I truly feel blessed and gratitude for this message. Thank you for sharing. See you in the community :)
Someone give me the answers for health.
Loved your talk Tuan! still remembering the good volunteer work you did in Nicaragua!
+Gabriela Horbaty My absolutely favourite volunteer project...met awesome cool cats like you!! I love Nica!!!
I watched this more then 10x by my choice thank you 🙏
Rockin' awesome!!! Much love!
Hi Tuan, thank you so much for such inspiring speech. Speaking out loud as a pure Malaysian or rather Asian, our community were taught to volunteer and be helpful since young yet not many of them question why (should we volunteer/be helpful). I was once one of those kids whom just followed until I learned the meaning of paying forward (which is volunteering for a purpose in my perspective) few years back then.
It definitely opens up my mind, that I've never take notice on how volunteerism could make a difference in building one persona. Proudly saying that volunteerism experiences develop me in person. After a year plus of actively joining various events (NGOs, Social Entrepreneur and Corporate), I have come to a determination of building personalities and professional qualities of each & every young gen through volunteering. More like igniting the sense of purpose and direction as a volunteer over here in Malaysia. Currently, my boyfriend and I are kickstarting things at the simplest and most minimum actions by gathering volunteers first. It would be really great if I could get in touch with you personally to learn more about your experiences and insights! :)
hi Isabella! Please feel free to send me an email at tuan@healthgenie.ca. We can set up a skype call with you and your boyfriend!
Hey Tuan, thank you in advance! :)
Great thoughts Tuan. Volunteering really can be a great tool for professional development. I know from personal experience. I hope we in the U.S. can continue to emphasize this platform more.
+Kevin Coriolan Thank you so much Kevin! See you in the global community!

inspring talk, Tuan. Thank you for sharing your story.

Tuan Nguyen I really hope so!
Awesome Tuan. ❤

When i was Young I volunteer all the time, now that I haven't finish my degree yet and i'm working, i feel like I really need to do it again, what do you recommend me for start all over again
hi Maria, I apologize for the delay in reply. If this is not too late, here are a few ways you can start volunteering again. (1) choose an activity you enjoy doing and find an event or cause that allows you to do it or support it. For example. I like dancing. I volunteer for an organization that helps disabled individuals learn contemporary dancing but I also join lets boogie-a-thon and it's dancing and fundraising at the same time and as I mentioned in the video, I started CASCO. (2) find a cause you believe in, list some of your greatest skill sets and then approach events or these very organizations and see how you can lend your gifts to help their cause. (3) launch your own, your way, your style and share it with your friends
Thanks for sharing your experience ! Good speaking in public! How can I contact you?
Taun, I am a college student presenting at a leadership conference in February about how to incorporate service into organizations and I will be sharing this video. Can you give college leaders any advice on how to go about doing that? Also, what benefits can one expect to see from professional, personal, etc. aspects as one begins to actively volunteer and serve others? Thanks in advance!
Hi Masey, Thank you SO much for this message. I'm going to prepare a video reply and upload the youtube link here. Hope I'm allowed to do this! Otherwise, if you can email me at tuan@healthgenie.ca, I can send over the link there.
That would be fantastic! Thanks so much!
Hey! Did this ever happen? I would also love to share it with my students. :)
Hi Ashley, if you can send me an email at tuan@healthgenie.ca, I can send you the link to the video. I do address Masey in the video if that's ok!
so great and useful for me. The voice is so beautiful. Can you tell me why do you talk confident here?
cám ơn em :) when you speak from your heart is how you become more confident. knowing that your thoughts are yours and no one else can judge you.
@@TuanNguyenHealthGenie owww! Amazing I learned Thank you Mr. Tuan , I inspire. Thank you again
-im frm Philippines
i strongly admit that the volunteerism definetly teach you the compasion,harmony, self respect the dignity of labour towards the underpreviledged society. I would suggest all the academic institutes to inculate this kind of attitudes at grass roots level to mould themselves to be grown as a better citizen in the latter days
Hi Madhu! Thank you for your comment and I completely agree. Academia AND corporations, including government!
@@TuanNguyenHealthGenie thank u
If he was unemployed how did he pay for his living expenses? Did he take it out of the money he raised? If so, how much is fair? Thank you
Hi Rose, sorry for the delay in reply. He was laid off and had a severance and then also had insurance proceeds from his late wife.
no problem, thanks!
I deeply feel that this is my calling, if you will.
truly excited for what's to come for you. Please feel free to share the video and the love!
So is he asking people to start a non-profit org, or to volunteer at other people's org?
either actually. It's to be more intentional with volunteerism as it as a powerful tool for personal and professional development.
He was born in 1975? He looks so young! Like he was born in 1995!
+Veg Experiment hahah...Thanks! Mom has great genes!
I have always been looking for voluntourism and have finally found a global community that really has a heart to serve...if anyone would like to know more, can find me on fb @morethebetter
