Forbes Contributor

Lalamove

I joined as our first L&D hire and transitioned to leading the Talent Development arm which included the following global functions: Culture, L&D, Internal Communications, Employee Engagement, and Employer Branding.

As our Lead Trainer, I taught over 200+ hours of leadership workshops across Southeast Asia for our C-Suite, Country Heads, new managers, and rising stars. I developed a Leadership Training Program that helped new managers increase their employee engagement levels by up to 50%.

Head of Culture & Talent Development

VMAGROUP

I worked with clients (Apple, Google, HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Blackrock, etc.) to support their recruitment initiatives and helped place top marketing and digital talent in their ideal careers. Many of my candidates went on to receive multiple offers and increase their salaries by up to 100%.

In this role, I reviewed 1000s of resumes and learned exactly what different recruiters and hiring managers were looking for in their ideal candidate. I apply this knowledge to help my clients with their current job search and interview process with Workhap.

Senior Recruitment Consultant

I partnered with Simon Sinek & co to help F500 companies to discover their 'WHY' and become more purposeful and people-centric organizations. We helped clients in the technology, retail, non-profit, and financial services sector think differently about their brand values and helped them build mission statements they were proud of.

I was paid to test drive, promote, and play with the latest and greatest Sony gadgets before they were released to the public. Yes, BEST JOB EVER.

Did you know we spend an average of 3 MILLION MINUTES WORKING in our lifetime?

I don’t know about you but that is way too long to be stuck in a job you hate. Good news for you though, that’s where I come in to help!

My name is Sho Dewan, and I am a career coach, LinkedIn Top Voice: Job Search and Careers, and content creator. I am the founder and face behind Workhap — a career coaching and training company that reaches 1.5+ million people everyday with our content and have been featured on Forbes, CNBC, Bloomberg, and more.

I haven’t always been in these shoes though. I kickstarted my career in corporate and had a lot of the same roles that I see my clients with today. I worked in consulting in Big 4, handled marketing campaigns in global tech firms, and got my first taste of people development, recruitment, and HR while working with Simon Sinek. But even when I had these fancy titles and big salaries, I wasn’t fulfilled. And after working with thousands of people, I realized that I wasn’t alone here.

Most career advice tells you to play it safe, find a stable career, and move up the corporate ladder.

I say: EFF THAT!

The best careers are sometimes the ones that scare you, get you excited to do something big, and really take full advantage of the talent that makes you YOU. I hope I can inspire you to go after what you want and land that ideal career you deserve — work that makes you happy.

How can we help you do that?

As always… ROOTING FOR YOU!

Not every “meh” job is a bad job, my friend.
Sometimes it’s just not your dream one (yet).
 
Cus here’s the thing...
you don’t need your dream title, dream boss, or dream pay right now to know you’re in the right place.

If you’ve got these 6 green flags, you’re def not stuck. These are signs you’re doing better than you think: 


✅ 1. You’re learning every day
↳ You’re gaining new skills, solving new problems, and thinking sharper.
↳ You’re not stuck,  you’re stacking experience that’ll pay off later.

✅ 2. The challenges energize you (not drain you)
↳ You feel proud of your work and talk about it with energy.
↳ Bad days happen but if the overall vibe fuels you, that’s a win.

✅ 3. You have room to think and make moves
↳ You’re not micromanaged or boxed in, you’ve got autonomy with clear goals.
↳ Freedom at work = belief in your potential. That’s a green flag.

✅ 4. Your feedback actually lands
↳ People ask for your opinion and actually consider it.
↳ If your voice is heard and valued, your presence matters.

✅ 5. You feel seen and appreciated
↳ Your boss thanks you, your team notices your effort, and you feel trusted.
↳ You’re more engaged when your work gets acknowledged. Keep showing up.

✅ 6. Your job supports your life not just your bills
↳ You’re not just surviving weekdays and living for weekends.
↳ Even if it’s not the “dream job”  it’s helping you build your dream life.


So if you’re not totally in love with your job right now… that’s okay.

If these green flags are showing up, you’re on the right track.

Your “dream job” might just be the next one and this role is the reason you’ll be ready for it. ✨✨✨

Don’t have to wait for 2026 to… start!

We all know the new year is going to be filled with parties,
an overflow of people at the gym,
and more work at work than we expect.

So why not get started on what you want to change now, before all the hecticness begins! 

It’s def not always easy.
BUT I realized, the earlier we start and stick with it, the easier it gets. 


Great words by @yuch.studio on IG

If no one has told you lately… proud of you 🙂

5 years ago, you were just dreaming of being where you are now…
and you might not feel it but you're now def that person younger-you would be hyped about.
So keep going. You’re way closer than you think.


Share this with a friend who has been quietly putting in the work and the results have shown! 💪

This is why you’re not getting promoted 😩 

And it's not because you’re not working hard enough… you’re just not doing enough small talks!

Also, yes making small talk is kinda just code for kissing 🍑 to the right people. But hey, it does work!

Have you also seen this play out in your career?

You gotta learn to play the game if you wanna get ahead. 😉 

And a big part of the game is meeting people you don’t know and staying connected with them.

I spoke at my alma mater recently and still remember those students who came up to me to exchange their thoughts and contact info...

and I’m sure it’s those same people who are going to go on to achieve their big goals.

Look, I get that it’s scary but it’s just part of the human experience!

Have you ever gotten any big opportunity through networking? Share it in the comments.

Are degrees dying?! 🫣

No I don’t think so but data shows that hiring managers are caring less about about brands and degrees…

And more about actual experience!

So best case scenario is that you have BOTH:

✅ strong education with a good brand

✅ experience in your related field

But experience doesn’t just have to be corporate and paid experience!

It can be volunteering, side hustles, helping out a friend, different projects...

all of it is EXPERIENCE.

What’s your take on degrees in this day and age?

Happy Thanksgiving from Vietnam! 🇻🇳 

First time in a while to be away from home for Thanksgiving but nice to get some sun and rest with my wife (our one year anni too!)

I’m finding that as each year passes, I am finding myself to be “busier” and tbh I don’t think that’s a great thing.

Because I realize the busier I am, the less present and grateful I tend to be.

So I’m calling it out now to challenge myself to chill tf out more and count more blessings. 😇

Here are 7 of them I am thankful for in no particular order!

1. My team who make work fun and genuinely good people to be around 

2. Being remote (still the biggest thing most ppl want today in a job!)

3. Working on stuff that younger me would have been like whoa we get to do that! 🤯 

4. Friends and family that root for us and want us to win

5. My wife and all the goodness she brings to everyday life 

6. Vietnamese food — yeah pho is great but bun cha, banh mi, banh xeo, the list goes on!

7. Being able to move my body and being able to do this 🦵 pose

And of course these platforms like LinkedIn where we can connect with strangers on the internet over a photo. And cheer each other on!

So to less busy-ness and more gratitude. Happy Thanksgiving to you, my friend!

What’s the one thing you’ve been waiting to start? 🙂

If it’s been on your mind for weeks… It’s time. 

You don’t need a plan, you need a push.

You gotta start even before you're ready.

It might suck at first, BUT I promise you, you’ll grow faster than you think.

Here's the secret to getting paid more:

Have a boss that you like and who also likes YOU.

No, this is not about being the favorite. It's you making things easier for them by doing these:


1. Make their job easier

↳ Don’t wait to be told. Offer help before they even ask.
Send this: “Hey, I noticed X might be falling behind, want me to take a look at it?”


2. Be a time-saver, not a time-sucker

↳Cut the fluff and focus more on the convo. 
Before every meeting, write this at the top of your doc: “What do I need my boss to decide/do?”


3. Know what they care about

↳ Ask: “What’s the #1 thing you’re focused on this month?”
Then link your work directly to that goal. Show them you’re on the same page.


4. Share team wins, not just personal ones

↳ Try this: “This helped us move faster toward [team goal]. Just flagging it!”
You’re not stealing the spotlight, you’re showing you care about the bigger picture.


5. Always bring good vibes

↳ If something breaks, don’t just say “hey it’s broken,” 
say this instead: “Here’s what’s up and here’s 2 things we could try.”


You don’t need to be besties with your boss...

but if they trust you, that gives you new opportunities like: 

✅ better projects, more freedom, and extra support when stuff hits the fan.

Let's go and make your boss notice you more! You got this, friend.
