To this stage today, with a talk aimed to shift one’s perception of vulnerability, Nguyen Thao brings forth a brilliant, heartfelt yet intimate talk entitled ‘Vulnerability: Our Hidden Superpower”. Vulnerability and strength does not seem like it would belong in the same sentence right? But let me tell you a secret…, it’s actually the opposite. You may only know strength as “tough” your whole life, but your hidden power actually comes from something else. Be ready to rethink where strength may come from and how it is the key to unlock new doors. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

In her talk, speaker Phuong Thao invites listeners to an invigorating discussion titled “Coping Uncertainty with Hustle Culture: The Illusion of Control”, where she shares a self-developed concept on how to handle the never ending rush of modern day society. I’m Phuong Thao, a senior at Foreign Trade University majoring in International Business, an IELTS instructor, and a bilingual host/ interpreter for various events, including TEDx events. Over the years, I’ve embraced diverse roles - from student leader, teacher, sales officer, master of ceremony and interpreter - each offering a unique perspective on navigating life in an unpredictable world. At TEDxISPH, I’ll be stepping into a new role as a speaker, and I’m thrilled to share my journey and new perspectives with you. Whether you're a student, a professional, or someone curious about the fast-paced world around us, I hope you’ll join me for an engaging and thought-provoking experience.
