This is the purpose of our CSpeaking gym - providing an international fun supportive environment and insightful training with best practices to help you train the 7Cs muscles to make a difference in life.
Why us - CSpeaking gym?
Have you ever asked 'Why some people can speak naturally passionately and then making a great impact while others don't feel even comfortable for speaking?' (yes we see that in people from all walk of life - children, adults, men, women, engineers, teachers)

If you are here, I believe you know somehow you have potential to master speaking skills or other things in life. However, you may feel that you lack confidence, encouragement or insightful guidance to do so. Or maybe you feel alone on the journey and you need a supportive environment to accompany with you on the journey. Or if you are already a confident speaker, you want to help others do the same so you want to learn the insightful training from experienced speakers to do so.
If you feel that you have any of the above needs, CSpeaking gym is for you!

Our FOUNDER's story:
"It is impossible. Be realistic. Remember you are just a girl from the countryside. Stay home, get married and have a bus load of kids.”
That‟s what people always told me when they heard about my dream of studying abroad to open my mind and learn how to help people. I was the most stubborn kid in my village so I just stubbornly believed “It is possible”. I was determined to live my life my way. I kept trying my best everyday thanks to my family who inspired my determination since I was a kid.
My family saved me three times - from a kidnap experience, from a serious accident which I lost one litter of blood, and drowning in a river. I just told myself if death did not take my life away that many times, I had to live beyond just for me. I felt bitter when seeing my family struggle with life despite how hard did they work. My parents would have four different jobs to raise up four kids. My siblings had to live my hometown at the early ages to stand by their own two feet. I told myself I had to make them feel proud of me.
With my dedication (or people call „stubborn‟), from an almost kidnapped kid, I entered the top university in Vietnam („Bach Khoa‟) with the intention to master Technology and Science that would help me serve my mission in helping people better. After graduating from my university, with Samsung scholarship I became Samsung employee. I had a chance to then train new staff that made me realise how much I loved empowering people by training and speaking. I also set up a soft skill community-based business with my friend in which we devoted all our passion/time/money to empower our members to enhance their speaking skills. Although the business didn't go well, I left to study Masters in Spain and then worked for a Dell partner in Malaysia. This was when I had professional training to be a trainer/speaker to empower others to step up in life. I thankfully got great mentors in my speaking community and then got a first prize in an International Public speaking contest in 2016. At the same year, I published my first book to share my slogan for living - inspired by my siblings.
I decided to quit my consultant job to really find a way to fully work in training and writing to empower others' voice. I went bankrupt. Thankfully the mission kept me on track, I managed to join a project with a Belgian NGO and later on got a top British government scholarship to go to the UK. Once again, I got chances to raise my standards in my speaking and writing career in the UK thanks to all of my mentors and speaking community there. This inspired me to publish 2 other books to share my journey.
Living and working with people from all walks of life, I have seen inspiring stories of people who have succeeded in life despite their backgrounds and circumstances. I realized they all shared a common characteristic: their empowering mindset and determined action to develop themselves, speaking the truth about themselves and contribute to society.
I am upset to see young people - especially in developing countries like Vietnam - limiting themselves by the social norm of life studying to get a good job and yet not happy. I am upset to see those potential leaders trapped in the same routines of every-day life. I am upset to see their passion for a better life limited by the numbers on their paycheck and their own limiting beliefs.
Day by day I wake up and the quest of empowering people to believe that they can as long as they never limit themselves, take action and add values to life. Looking back to my journey I can see speaking plays an important role in helping me speak up the truth about me, share what I have learned to support the people in the same journey. I definitely feel I am a better version of myself and still on the way to be better. I would like you to join me to speak up your truth, unleash your potential and make a different in life.
The project CSpeaking Gym is a project to empower your passion in speaking and developing you as a better leader/person and yes with dedication and right environment, you can, we can. Lets do it together!
With love,
Talk soon,
Jen,
