From Feeling Lost to Finding the Right Career Path đź§­

Every meaningful journey begins with a question.

One month ago, together with the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, SCT Foundation (Switzerland) and MyEQ Center had the privilege of sharing an inspiring workshop with students exploring one of life's biggest questions:

How do I know which path is truly mine?

Instead of starting with careers, we started with something deeper — self-understanding.

Throughout the workshop, Prof. Kaya and Prof. Christiane invited students to look inward: to observe their emotions, question their assumptions, and recognize how feelings quietly shape every decision they make.

Because finding the right career is never just about choosing a profession. It begins with understanding who we are.

Looking back at these moments reminds us of a timeless truth:

The greatest education is not giving people ready-made answers, but helping them discover their own.

It also reminds us why emotional intelligence should begin much earlier. The self-awareness, resilience, empathy, critical thinking, and emotional balance young adults seek today can all be nurtured from childhood.

Our heartfelt thanks to the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, all lectures, all participating students, and everyone who made this meaningful journey possible.

May every encounter become the beginning of another journey toward greater self-understanding. đź’™

“The Isolation Room” at Age 20… and the Challenge of Decoding Emotions from Age 12

1. A profound reflection on overthinking among young adults

Last week, MyEQ had the honor of partnering with Dr. Dang Thi Quynh Anh and the Student Association of the Faculty of Finance at Ho Chi Minh City Banking University (HUB) to organize the specialized seminar: “Overthinking: Inside Your Mind.”

The event inspired deep reflection through the presence and teachings of the founders of the SCT Foundation (Switzerland) and the UCM Teaching and Research Center, Professor Francis L. Kaya and Professor Christiane Muller. For the first time, hundreds of university students were introduced to the multidimensional approach of Symbolic Language and Emotional Intelligence.

Some of the “inner codes” explored during the seminar:

đź’§ Water and Emotions

More than 60% of the human body is made of water. In Symbolic Language, water represents the flow of emotions. Emotional Intelligence is about bringing awareness and wisdom into our emotions so that this flow does not become blocked but instead becomes a powerful force for making wise decisions and achieving authentic success in every area of life.

🧠 The “Inner ChatGPT”

Each of us possesses an extraordinary living computer within. It stores our memories, thoughts, emotions, and actions. Learning how to access and clear this inner database allows us to connect with the wisest version of ourselves.

🚪 Breaking Out of the “Isolation Room”

Christiane Muller highlighted a common psychological pattern among young people: locking themselves inside an emotional “isolation room.” Because of painful or disappointing experiences, we close inner doors, suppress emotions, and become trapped in cycles of overthinking.

🌟 The Law of Resonance

Even when we do not express them, our thoughts and emotions continue to radiate outward and are subtly perceived by those around us.

⸻

2. From the University Classroom to the Reality of Adolescence

As we listened to the students’ concerns, one reality became increasingly clear: overthinking and emotional isolation do not suddenly appear at age 20.

They are often the result of emotions that have accumulated over many years without being identified, understood, or expressed during adolescence (ages 10 to 18). When a teenager closes their bedroom door and stops communicating with their parents, they may already be building their own “isolation room.”

Rather than allowing young people to carry these emotional burdens into adulthood, parents can equip them with practical tools to understand themselves and navigate life more confidently.

🌱 MyEQ’s AtoE Summer Online Journey (Decoding Emotions), designed for youth ages 7 to 18, helps participants develop:

A – Awareness

Understanding the emotional flow within themselves so they are not overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, or fear. They learn how to transform and direct their emotions toward genuine happiness and fulfillment.

B – Balance

Learning how to access their “inner computer” and transform negative thought patterns that fuel overthinking.

C – Courage

Breaking the bubble of isolation, reconnecting with family, building self-confidence, and learning to make decisions with the presence and confidence of a true leader.

Sometimes, the greatest legacy parents can leave their children is not material wealth, but the ability to understand themselves, master their emotions, and move forward with confidence.

👉 Parents are invited to send the keyword “ATOE” via private message to MyEQ to receive personalized guidance on the summer program best suited to their child’s age and emotional needs.

MyEQ extends its heartfelt gratitude to the professors and students of HUB for their warm welcome. We wish you continued success in applying Emotional Intelligence to your studies, careers, relationships, and daily lives.

The "Air-Lock Room" at Age 20 and the Vital Need to Decode Emotions at Age 12

​1. This past week, MyEQ was honored to partner with Dr. Dang Thi Quynh Anh and the Youth Union of the Finance Faculty at Ho Chi Minh University of Banking (HUB) to successfully host a specially designed seminar: "Overthinking: Inside your Mind."

​The program brought profound resonances thanks to the presence and guidance — filled with pure love and wisdom — of the two founders of the non-profit SCT Foundation (Switzerland), Prof. Francis L. Kaya and Prof. Christiane Muller.

For the first time, hundreds of outstanding students were introduced to the multidimensional thinking of Symbolic Language and Emotional Intelligence.
​The "Inner Codes" decoded in the lecture hall:

​💧 Water and Emotions: Over 60% of our body is water. In symbolic language, water represents the flow of emotions. Emotional Intelligence is the art of bringing "intelligence" into our emotions, preventing that inner flow from being blocked and turning it into the power to make decisions that lead to true success in all aspects of life.

​🧠 The "Inner ChatGPT": Each of us possesses a highly advanced "living computer" within. It stores all our memories, thoughts, emotions, and actions. Knowing how to access and declutter this "data" is how we communicate with the wisest version of ourselves.

​🚪 Breaking out of the "Air-lock room": Prof. Christiane pointed out a very common psychological state among young people —locking themselves in an "air-lock room." Due to negative past experiences, we slam the doors shut and suppress our emotions, leaving our minds trapped in a loop of Overthinking.

​🌟 The Law of Resonance: Even if you don't speak them aloud, those suppressed thoughts and emotions still silently radiate and are felt by everyone around you.

​2. From the University Lecture Hall to the Emotional State of Adolescence

​Listening to the concerns of the students, MyEQ deeply realized a truth: The "Overthinking" syndrome or the state of locking oneself in an "air-lock room" does not suddenly appear at the age of 20.

​It is the direct result of suppressed emotional data that was never "named" or decoded during adolescence (ages 10-18). When a child slams their bedroom door and refuses to share with their parents, that is exactly when they are building their very own "air-lock room."

​Instead of letting children carry these chaotic emotional burdens into adulthood, parents can equip them with a solid "psychological filter" right now.

​🌱 MyEQ’s AtoE (Decoding Emotions) online summer journey is specially designed for ages 7-18, helping young people develop:
​A - Awareness: Understanding the flow of emotions (water) within themselves so they won't be drowned by anger or anxiety. They learn to purify and navigate their emotions so this flow can truly radiate genuine joy and happiness.

​B - Balance: Knowing how to access their "inner computer" to clear out negative thoughts and stop overthinking.

​C - Courage: Breaking the "isolation" bubble to reconnect with family, and confidently making decisions with the presence and aura of a truly exceptional leader.

​Sometimes, the greatest legacy parents can leave for their children isn't material wealth, but the ability to master themselves.

​👉 We invite parents to inbox MyEQ with the keyword "ATOE" for a consultation on the most suitable summer learning path for your child's age and psychology.

​MyEQ sends our deepest gratitude to the lecturers and students of HUB. We wish you all a clear, pure flow of emotions and success in applying Emotional Intelligence to your career, love, and life!

A Compass for Guiding Young People to Build Their Future with Confidence

On the morning of June 10, at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF), two international experts and founders of the non-profit organizations UCM and SCT, Professor Francis L. Kaya and Professor Christiane Muller, led an inspiring and thought-provoking discussion with students. They were joined by Ms. Phan Linh, psychologist, lecturer, and Director of MyEQ Center and UCM Vietnam.

The theme, “Finding Direction for the Future: Moving Beyond Confusion and Discovering the Right Path,” highlighted a concerning reality: many young adults enter their twenties feeling uncertain, disoriented, and lacking a genuine understanding of themselves.

According to the experts, this feeling of uncertainty when facing important life choices is extremely common. However, the deeper issue is that many young people have never been given the tools needed to understand and accept these emotions as a natural part of the learning process and the development of personal qualities. This involves exploring their interests, clarifying their values and priorities, and learning how to observe themselves and reflect on their emotions in relation to collective resonance.

For the first time, UEF students became aware that they are not merely scrolling through hundreds or even thousands of emotionally charged messages each day that subtly influence their thoughts and unconscious decisions. They also gained a clearer understanding of the collective dimension of the network of information and relationships that continuously interweaves personal life, education, and career development.

Professor Kaya encouraged students, regardless of their year of study, to begin today by creating a plan that includes a list of twenty companies within their field of interest where they would like to work. The more clearly a person puts their reflections on paper, the easier it becomes to understand why certain professional environments are attractive to them and how these are connected to their interests, strengths, and the areas they still wish to improve within themselves.

The application of the Law of Resonance, illustrated through university life and the visualization of a future work environment—including relationships with managers, colleagues, and collaborators—provided valuable insights for everyone involved in supporting young people.

The feeling of “confusion” at the threshold of adulthood does not appear spontaneously. It is often the result of an adolescence—or even a childhood—during which a genuine emotional compass was missing. When the questions, pressures, and inner challenges experienced between the ages of 10 and 18 are not listened to, recognized, and properly supported, young people may carry a sense of disconnection or uncertainty into adulthood.

Conversely, when children learn from an early age to observe themselves, recognize their strengths, and manage their emotions, they gradually develop the confidence needed to build their future without fearing academic or social pressures. The greatest gift we can offer young people is not to prepare a ready-made path for them, but rather to provide them with the ability to find their own direction, along with a space where they can experiment, measure, adjust, and develop their own abilities.

On this occasion, MyEQ offered five individual psychological consultation sessions, along with valuable support opportunities for UEF students who may need assistance. These services are provided by a team of emotional intelligence specialists who have been trained over several years by Professors Kaya and Christiane Muller according to internationally recognized standards and certified in their field.

We sincerely thank the faculty members, leadership team of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF), the students who attended, as well as every member of the MyEQ team and the volunteers who helped sow the seeds of emotional intelligence within the university environment and contribute to building our collective future.

Lost in your 20s because you forgot... your favorite color?

​This morning (June 12), at the "Future Direction: Beyond Confusion, Finding Your True Path" university talk, an auditorium at HCMC University of Technology and Engineering fell into a mindful silence before a profound question: Why do we need to transform our Emotions into true Intelligence?

​In a fast-paced digital era where everything is simply "swiped" past, one brave student stood up to share their own story. They realized that for the past 20 years, they had completely disconnected from themselves. They rejected their past, couldn't remember who they used to be, and didn't even know their favorite color or food — they didn't know what they liked at all.

Their dilemma was deeply moving: "When I don't even know who I am, how can I navigate my future, find my true path, and truly resonate with the organization I'll be part of?"

​Our EQ experts Prof. Francis L. Kaya and Prof. Christiane Muller highly praised this courage. Prof. Kaya encouraged the entire hall: Daring to stand up and ask a question is the exact moment you open the door of opportunity for your own life.

​He gently posed a thought: "If you don't know your favorite color, how will you choose a logo color for your brand when you eventually start your own company?" Prof. Kaya advised the young audience to close their eyes, feel the colors they love, and bravely revisit past memories — both positive and negative — to view life as a book with many chapters. Past difficulties serve as the very foundation that guides our present and future.

​...
​He emphasized: When we are sensitive, what we need most is knowledge about human psychology and behavior — something schools rarely teach enough of. We often think we understand ourselves and others... but the truth is, it's never quite enough.

​Without a deep understanding of our inner world and psychological shifts, our future choices — from career to marriage — will remain superficial, easily leading to regrets or repeating the unhappy mistakes of those before us.

​This morning's university talk served as a profound guidance. To prevent young people from falling into a state of "disconnection" and uncertainty in their 20s, the journey of understanding one's mind must begin during adolescence.

​This is exactly why MyEQ Center continuously strives to create profound training programs and experiential spaces, empowering the younger generation to integrate Emotional Intelligence into designing & building their own Dream Life.

​🌱 If you are raising a child aged 7-18 and want to help them "decode" their inner world before they step out into the vast ocean as global citizens, do not miss the opportunity to meet Prof. Francis L. Kaya and Prof. Christiane Muller in our upcoming special event:

✨ SCT Foundation Mission in Vietnam 🇻🇳
Today, Christiane Muller and Haritha Nayak had the honor of leading a workshop on workplace well-being and emotional intelligence for physicians, surgeons, and executives at the prestigious Viet Duc University Hospital in Hanoi.

Recognized as Vietnam’s leading surgical hospital, Viet Duc performs nearly 70,000 operations each year and serves as one of the country’s most important referral centers for complex surgical cases.
In an environment where dedication to serving others comes with immense pressure and significant human responsibilities, healthcare professionals increasingly recognize the importance of developing practical tools to maintain balance, strengthen resilience, and continually renew themselves from within.

The workshop explored the role of emotional intelligence in supporting personal well-being, effective leadership, and healthier workplace environments within the healthcare sector.

🙏 An inspiring moment of sharing, reflection, and learning with women and men who dedicate their lives to caring for others.

Do you believe that happiness is the foundation of every great leader?

💙✨ Dear parents and future-builders,

At MYEQ Center, our focus goes beyond developing Emotional Intelligence (EQ) for children and teenagers. We also partner with organizations and businesses to drive a shared, greater mission: cultivating exceptional leaders who know how to build happiness anytime, anywhere.

On the morning of June 3, 2026, MyEQ hosted a special workshop featuring the co-founders of Source Code Technology - SCT Foundation (Switzerland), Prof. Francis L. Kaya and Prof. Christiane Muller, alongside more than 30 managers from CANIFA — Vietnam's leading fashion brand. This session was a powerful testament to the fact that EQ is not merely a "soft skill" — it is the core element that shapes outstanding leaders and pioneering, sustainable businesses.

As Prof. Kaya emphasized: "Teams are truly fortunate when they work for a company that prioritizes mental well-being and EQ development." Pioneering companies like CANIFA understand that Emotional Intelligence is the key to unlocking the vast potential within each individual, fostering a joyful work environment, and cultivating the true spirit of breakthrough growth.

We shared two deeply meaningful hours engaging in practical activities. Mr. Nguyen Quoc Khanh, L&D Manager at CANIFA, shared: "The workshop's content was profoundly meaningful for our entire staff. After the event, our team gathered to share their most memorable takeaways." This further affirms the immense value of EQ in team bonding and collective development.

If today's top leaders are constantly nurturing their EQ to create a reality where logic and emotion (IQ and EQ) are in perfect harmony, building the foundation for a vibrant, happy future in business... what should we be equipping our children with — the future leaders of their own lives?

MyEQ believes that the journey to raising a happy leader begins with understanding and mastering emotions from an early age.

(To discover how to nurture your child's Emotional Intelligence and guide them to become an exceptional future leader, we warmly invite parents to join our Free Parenting Talk: "Decoding the Emotions of Adolescence" in Hanoi this Sunday morning, June 7, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Please check the first comment for details and the registration link!)
