I just came back from Nice, France this weekend! 🇫🇷 I was attending the World Appreciative Inquiry Conference with two of my Case Western University graduate school professors and mentors, the founders of Appreciative Inquiry, Dr. David Cooperrider and Dr. Ron Fry.⠀
⠀
What is Appreciative Inquiry (AI) you ask? It is a strengths based framework used to help organizations grow towards the positive. It is about involving the whole in the discussion allowing everyone to be seen and heard for their contributions in co-creating a better destiny by discovering, dreaming and designing organizational change that is radically generative.⠀
⠀
Dr. David Cooperrider (pictured) has been invited by the UN Assistant Secretary General to facilitate Appreciative Inquiry to foster more global cooperation in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. He has historically facilitated AI with over 500 world religions by invitation of the Dalai Lama to foster greater religous peace. As of last year he led AI with close to 1000 global education stakeholders rethinking how we deliver positive education to future generations — this summit I was a part of! 😊⠀
⠀
As a student of AI, and from my time studying International Affairs @northeastern, it is my hope that I am playing my part in co-creating a more peaceful and flourishing future for our world one individual, team and organization at a time. 🌎 @theflourishingco ⠀

Starting Monday strong with a happiness coaching session with my client, another fellow Husky! 💕⠀
⠀
During coaching sessions with my clients, I use a strength based approach tapping appreciatively into an individual’s potential. Rather than fixating on problems and what is not working, we look at what is working right, where there is excitement and enthusiasm in their life, what parts of life highlight them at their best. By shifting this focus, we grow the areas of our life that are most fulfilling and minimize the emphasis on negative/draining activities. Inherently, we can deepen meaning and enjoyment in our careers, relationships, and health while dreaming big to craft our ideal life.⠀
⠀
I also integrate practices with clients like mindfulness, self-compassion and gratitude scientifically proven to help rewire our brains to become happier and thrive! 😊⠀

Words truly cannot describe how much the #TEDxNortheasternU team has meant to me for the past two years. The level of effort, dedication, and talent exemplified by every single team member to make this half-day event a reality is astounding, and I will miss every single moment. A special shout out to my fellow seniors, and to my most wonderful marketing team!

Thank you all for following my adventures this week! Make sure to follow @tedxnortheasternu on #socialmedia to see photos from the event and videos of the TED Talks from TEDxNortheasternU 2019!

AND THAT'S A WRAP! TEDxNortheasternU 2019 was a huge success, and I cannot be more proud of the speakers, performers, xLab participants, team members, and more who pulled this all together over the last 8 months! #TEDxNortheasternU #Branches #CultivatingConnections #nuexperience

Food. It’s among basic needs with water 💧 and shelter 🏘, but to me it is the gateway to a #culture. Having been fortunate enough to have travelled to countless countries across 5 continents ✈ 🌍, I’ve found that there is no greater unifier than those of our taste buds. I come from a ‘foodie’ family, where we often embark on culinary experiences 🍽 and experiment in the kitchen 👩‍🍳 together. Now that I live in Boston, I’ve learned to recreate some of my favourite dishes with a twist more unique to my personality! 😋

1️⃣ Tomato based squid ink pasta with shrimp 🦐
2️⃣ Tom kha gai (Thai coconut chicken soup) 🥥
3️⃣ Turkey larb (Laotian/Thai salad) 🦃
4️⃣ Hungarian goulash 🥘
5️⃣ Seafood paella 🦀

Surprise! 💥 I'm involved in yet another campus organisation 🙌 I joined the Zeta Mu chapter of Pi Sigma Epsilon (PSE) @psenortheastern in the spring semester of my freshman year (spring 2016).
.
PSE is the only co-ed fraternity in the nation specialising in #marketing, #sales, and #management - and this year we're proud and thrilled to start up PSE Consulting! Throughout the semester, members work on relevant projects with local businesses and campus start-ups, as well as participating in some #volunteering and #fundraising efforts. 💜💛
.
I've had an absolute blast being a Zeta Mu brother, and it's been such an honour watching younger members grow to replace us seniors 👵👴 on the executive board!
1️⃣ My mentor Deanna, and mentee Ananya!
2️⃣ 2018 - 2019 executive board
3️⃣ Our signature fundraiser, Insomnia Cookies Sale!
4️⃣ Brotherhood 🤩

For the past two years, I've had the absolute honour of serving as Director of Marketing for @tedxnortheasternu. Not only has this team and organisation helped me grow as a #marketer, #leader, and team member, but it has also brought friendships and connections that I will cherish for many years to come. I can truly say that I have never met another team that embodies passion, dedication, and determination like the #TEDxNortheasternU team.
.
It has been a phenomenal journey developing a compelling story for TEDxNortheasternU's brand. From being the sole marketer for our 100-attendee event in 2018, to leading a team of 4 to attract 300-attendees for our 2019 event - it's been such a thrill to see our brand and organisation grow on campus. 🙌
.
TEDxNortheasternU 2019 will be taking place THIS SATURDAY 3/23 in ISEC from 1-5PM (doors open at 12.30PM). We'll be featuring 11 diverse speakers 🗣 who were trained for 3 months, entertaining performers🎤, and mindblowing interactive exhibits🚀. You won't want to miss out on this: ticket link is in our bio!

I'm originally from Hong Kong but I grew up at an international school in Shanghai 🌏. Being so far away from my family and friends, I sought a 'home away from home' at NU. Little did I know, @chiomega_nu would come to mean so much more than just another club or organisation on campus. It has been a constant source of strength and support throughout my time in #boston. It has brought some of the kindest and wittiest people into my life. Most of all, it has shaped me to be the woman that I am proud of being today in my final year of college.
Our chapters every Tuesday have provided a space for #reflection as I am counting down to graduation: only 45 days until commencement! 🎓

Good morning world ☀️ and welcome to a week in my life!
My name is Celine Au-Yeung @pablo_penguins, and I am a fourth year senior (#graduating in August 2019!!) studying BSBA Marketing with a minor in Theatre. 🎭
.
I'm taking over our wonderful alumni IG on behalf of @tedxnortheasternu, where we will have the opportunity to welcome THREE NU alumni as speakers at #TEDxNortheasternU 2019. Our event will be THIS SATURDAY 3/23 in ISEC, and we're thrilled to be presenting a diverse program of 11 innovative speakers with topics ranging from IoT to communications, and global healthcare to architecture. There will also be interactive exhibits for attendees to learn from and explore...who wouldn't want to play with drones or a Mars Rover?! Check out our bio for tickets while they last!! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
.
On another note: I'm fortunate enough to be on my second and final (😱) co-op at @bcg! As the Global Digital Marketing & Experience Co-op, I've been contributing to the overall experience of BCG's online channels - I LOVE my team and its experimental nature, and in the short few months that I have been here, I've already grown an incredible amount both personally and professionally. Also doesn't hurt that we have our own barista on 12 but...gotta keep in mind the "BCG 15"!! 🤤

I hope you've enjoyed my IG takeover! If you ever find yourself passing through 🇭🇰, do reach out - you can find me on LinkedIn (Nick Fei). I'd always be up for trading travel tips and itineraries over coffee ☕️ You can also ask me any questions related to aviation in the comments section below. Have a great weekend.

At @northeasternuniversity and through its many experiential learning opportunities, I was encouraged to try different things. The exposure and broad base of experience provided me a great training ground to develop transferable skills: learning agility, empathy, business acumen and critical thinking - just to name a few. All that then led me to many more interesting experiences after @northeastern, and taught me that learning doesn't stop at commencement - it's just the beginning. #lifelonglearning #coop #northeasternuniversity #careerdevelopment #reinventyourself #motivation #hongkong #england #dc #boston #usa

#2: Thanks to the good people at the international coop dept, I was able to create a coop placement out of my experience with the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office for a role at British Consulate General Hong Kong. Planning and delivering the first GREAT Britain campaign that promotes UK fashion design and lifestyle brands.
.
#3: Joined a delegation of students to meet with Boston state legislators and members of congress in DC to offer students' perspective on what the Pell grant and Perkins loan mean to student who benefit from them.
.
#4: Through a Service Learning module, I coached students in the Boston Debate League and organised a panel on campus to discuss bullying at school.
.
#5: Through my favourite capstone class, Advocacy Workshop, we got Governor Dukakis and leading experts to speak and raise awareness around the topic of juvenile sentencing.
.
#6: My first Co-op was with a payment technology startup called LevelUp. Back in early 2012, the concept of paying with your phone was unheard of, and it was a tough sell to the merchants. I did grow a thick skin and developed a tendency to not take no for an answer, though.
.
#7: At NEU I was already surrounded by a diverse group of students and faculty, and that helped me become more comfortable fitting into new environments.

Working at an airline comes with great perks. Not only do you get to meet and work with people that have a singular passion for aviation and travel, you also get awesome travel benefits (in Cathay's case, we have access to 170+ airlines in addition to our own fleet). Sharing with you here some of the places I've visited during my time with #cathaypacific #lifewelltravelled. Talk about #worklifebalance, eh? 🛫 #iceland #kyoto #melbourne #hangzhou #greatwall #beijing #london #almafi #positano #china #japan #australia #england #italy #travelholic
