I have an idea...

"I have an idea..." one of the most common phrase we hear day today. Some of these ideas cheer us up and gives us something to laugh about and bond over. Whereas, some ideas really get us thinking that of the potential value in it. Having an idea may just be the answer to "Where Do I Start?" Find out more in this session where we explore the intricacy of ideas and how to turn them into something viable and tangible.

What is Mentorship WeCan?

Mentorship WeCan is a project series under the Young Professional Network Brunei (@ypn.bn), hosted bi-monthly over a weekend where members of the public are welcomed to have a discussion with other like minded individuals over specified topics moderated by the mentors of YPN.BN who are key in the field.

Over the past quarter, we have sat down with over fifty (50) individuals from different walks of life and demographic. Students, fresh graduates, newly employed, entrepreneurs, businesspeople, lecturers, retirees, and even government officials have joined us in our table talk. At the table, we strip away your titles and statuses, and all that remain is your individuality and experiences. Everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts and emotions in a safe judgment free zone.

During our Mentorship WeCan sessions, we aim to practice empathy, authentic engagement, and actively work on the social issues the community is facing.
