My Journey from Taking a Sabbatical to Unlocking my Superpowers

🚐 In 2016, I experienced career burnout and took a sabbatical.

It turned out to be the best thing for my career.

In 2016, I worked in product management and community marketing for global tech companies. It was a promising career path. I loved storytelling and truly enjoyed the opportunity to do that for global brands.

Yet, 6 years into my career, I experienced burnout.

This was my chance to follow my heart and intuition, and do what truly lights me up. 💡 

Today, as a coach, host, and storyteller, and founder of 10nexus, I am on a mission to build a global school and community of leaders, entrepreneurs, technologists, innovators, and creators committed to leveling up together — at work, and in life.

Our mission: to facilitate educational programs, edutainment events, and intentional spaces for our community to connect, learn, and grow together, and share stories of our global community that inspire, uplift, and empower.

❓What about you, have you found your ‘reason for being’? How did you get there?

Follow your passion and walk that road where there might not be a path yet, because that might reveal the best path toward our reason for being — our ‘Ikigai’.

If you’re in that season now, trust it. Follow the breadcrumbs. And know that you’re in great company.

Welcome to Empower Circles. We’re just getting started.

With purpose and power,

Henry V Bao

Coach, Host, Fellow Seeker
