Grow your network
and your ideas
Whether you’re seeking knowledge, inspiration, or are looking to meet more like-minded people, there’s always something worthwhile happening here at Dreamplex.
ONLINE WEBINAR
Your mental wellbeing is incredibly important to Dreamplex. And while there will always be things you can't influence, there's an even greater amount of exercises you can do to feel mentally strong at work.
Join us for Wellbeing at Work [Part 2]: Design your Dream Job.
The premise of job crafting is that you don’t always have to change your job to enjoy going to work. In fact, with a few small changes, you can turn any job into a job you love doing.
Job crafting allows you to look at what your current routine and scope are, and then redesign it in a way that aligns more with your purpose & passions. You do this by altering the tasks you do, the people you work with and the way you perceive your job.
(To successfully “job-craft,” it’s very helpful to understand your purpose. After all, even if you could design your dream job from scratch, it helps to know what that dream is. It's therefore good to complete the "Purpose" workshop first, but absolutely not required.)
At the end of this session, you'll be able to take on the new work week (and all those that follow) with more structure, more meaning, and more positivity.

ONLINE WEBINAR
Your mental wellbeing is incredibly important to Dreamplex. And while there will always be things you can't influence, there's an even greater amount of exercises you can do to feel mentally strong at work.
Wellbeing at Work [Part 1]: Finding Your Purpose.
Studies show that having a clear purpose in life can help you live longer. Simply knowing why you do what you do, helps make every day (at work or otherwise) more meaningful. You'll change your perception of the job you're doing and feel less stress and anxiety. As a result, you're scientifically proven to live longer.
But what is purpose exactly? And how do I find mine? That's the topic of this one-hour interactive session on Purpose at Work. You'll learn the basics behind why purpose matters, and spend time crafting your Ikigai – a Japanese concept that helps you find your "reason to get up in the morning."
At the end of this session, you'll have a stronger sense of how to work with purpose and make every day more meaningful. And if that ends up giving you a few extra years to live, that's a win-win!

There is little doubt that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is affecting every aspect of our lives. Observing public health measures and reducing exposure to the virus are required to slow the spread of this disease. No one knows how long these virus safety measures will need to stay in place, but it presents a perfect time to protect and improve your health while practicing social distancing. Healthy eating and staying fit is especially important for keeping your immune system in top condition.
So, during a time like this, how do you stay healthy and fit? Most health advice can be boiled down to simple behaviors, like eating a balanced diet, exercising and getting good sleep, right? So how do we keep that up while navigating COVID-19? How can we eat right when we’re living on non-perishables? How can we work out when we’re stuck at home? How can we sleep when we’re anxious about how this will pan out? Anxieties that are not only health-related but also business, work related.
To answer these questions and more, we’ve put together this webinar in partnership with Jio Health Clinic. We will cover everything you need to know about the virus, infection prevention, and also plenty of useful tips on working, cooking, learning and staying physically and mentally healthy at home, and at work. There will also be a Q&A session - a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you have from a team of professionals equipped with the knowledge to help.

Schools, businesses, restaurants, gyms, and many other establishments across Vietnam have been asked to close their doors in an attempt to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people are staying home and many companies are practicing social distancing to “flatten the curve” - essentially to slow down the potential spread of the disease within the community.
As a company leader, It is extremely important to monitor this situation as it develops. All team members should work together to manage the spread of this virus among workers and others within your work environment. Not only that, but also keep check of everyone’s mental wellbeing as people undergo additional stresses during this time.

No matter how many words you learn, if you don’t feel confident speaking English, you still don’t get anywhere. Poor pronunciation (how your English sounds) is the difference between knowing English and confidently speaking it.
Native English trainers are often not familiar with how to learn a new language with different tones. Trainer Andy Le understands both Vietnamese and English. Using the Pimsleur method of communication learning, the training focuses on the similarities and differences between the two languages. By having pronunciation at the heart of this training, in just a few sessions, your speaking and listening will drastically improve.
By learning English with Andy Le, you will be able to:
About the presenter
Andy has had over 13 years of experience in training English. During his time teaching, he discovered consistently that pronunciation was the biggest obstacle Vietnamese learners face. Most can read and write to some degree, yet this didn’t mean that they could communicate in English effectively.
With his insight, Andy decided to spend his time focusing on pronunciation and found that it drastically improved students’ communication. Since then he has dedicated over 8 years to develop a pronunciation training course that has helped thousands of people from Vietnamese students, office workers, doctors and even students returning from overseas.
Andy was born in 1984 and immigrated to the USA with his family when he was just 5 years old. He is currently the director of communications for Cao Thang International Eye Hospital.
