✈️ 26 VOICES. 2 ROOMS. 1 GLOBAL STAGE.

https://lnkd.in/p/g8ZWwwha

Voice of the World 2026 has officially landed.

And honestly, I think we needed a bigger baggage allowance for all that speaking adrenaline. 😂🎙️

I joined World Travelers Toastmasters Club’s Global Table Topics Showcase with 26 contestants, 2 rooms, 6 finalists, and one very important mission:

Speak fast.
Think faster.
Try not to let your brain apply for a visa mid-sentence. 😂🌍

And here are the final results:

🥇 CHAMPION
Joseph Skoda

🥈 1st RUNNER-UP
Eleos Theofilus Gandawidjaja

🥉 2nd RUNNER-UP
Bettyann Peck

Congratulations, Joseph and Bettyann!

And yes, I’m incredibly happy to bring home 1st Runner-Up. 🥈

But my biggest takeaway?

The real winners were the 26 voices who stepped up.

Because this event was never only about trophies.

It was about giving Toastmasters members a chance to experience the heat of the stage.

Think on the spot.
Speak with confidence.
Support each other.

That is what made Voice of the World 2026 different.

📊 THE NUMBERS TELL THE STORY

26 contestants.
2 showcase rooms.
6 finalists.
3 final podium places.
1 global stage.

And behind those numbers were Toastmasters functionaries, organizers, judges, timers, volunteers, room teams, participants, and supporters from around the world.

That is a lot of people making one microphone work. 😂🎙️

We even had a one-hour delay.

Yes.

ONE. FULL. HOUR. ⏰😂

But people stayed.

They waited.

They supported.

Nobody abandoned the flight.

That, to me, is one of the strongest success indicators of the event.

The event report captures the participation and execution.

The recording captures the moments.

But the community captured something bigger:

COURAGE.
CONNECTION.
CONFIDENCE.

And that is the kind of data I like to remember. ❤️🌍

🎥 MISSED THE FLIGHT?

You can still watch the recording on YouTube.

Watch the contestants.
Watch the spontaneous answers.
Watch the pressure.
Watch us try to make our brains work without a PowerPoint. 😂

🚨 GROWTH ALERT: RUMAH BISNIS ANDA SIAP NAIK LANTAI? 🏠🔥

https://lnkd.in/p/gBtyx9SY

Saya suka melihat bisnis bertumbuh.

Omzet naik.
Tim membesar.
Target makin tinggi.

Tapi ada satu pertanyaan yang sering kita lupa:

FONDASINYA SUDAH KUAT BELUM? 😅

Karena kalau bisnis terus naik, tetapi fondasinya belum siap...

Yang naik bukan cuma revenue.

Tekanan juga ikut naik.
Kompleksitas ikut naik.
Drama ikut naik. 😂

Itulah kenapa saya excited dengan Insight Session LINKID kali ini:

🏠 HOUSE OF TRANSFORMATION
🚀 LET’S GROW TOGETHER

Bersama Putu Hartana Wijaya, M.M, ACC kita akan membahas bagaimana membangun fondasi transformasi untuk bisnis dan pemimpin.

Saya tertarik karena transformation bukan sekadar:

💡 Ganti strategi.
👥 Ganti cara kerja.
📈 Kejar growth.

Transformation berarti memastikan rumahnya siap ketika kita ingin menambah lantai.

Jangan sampai bisnis kita sudah mau penthouse...

Fondasinya masih kos-kosan. 😂

Buat saya, growth yang sehat membutuhkan tiga hal:

Fondasi yang kuat.
Pemimpin yang siap.
Arah yang jelas.

Karena bisnis yang tumbuh tanpa fondasi bisa terlihat hebat dari luar, tetapi bikin pemiliknya deg-degan dari dalam.

Dan kalau kita memang mau:

LET’S GROW TOGETHER...

Mungkin malam ini saatnya kita berhenti sebentar dari mengejar growth.

Lalu bertanya:

“Rumah bisnis saya sebenarnya sudah siap menerima pertumbuhan sebesar apa?”

📅 Jumat, 9 Oktober 2026
⏰ 19.30 WIB

Pak Putu akan hadir di Insight Session LINKID.

Kalau kamu sedang membangun bisnis, memimpin tim, atau sedang berada di fase “kok makin besar makin ribet ya?”...

Ini mungkin sesi yang kamu cari.

HOUSE OF TRANSFORMATION.

Kita tidak cuma bicara bagaimana bisnis bisa naik.

Kita pastikan rumahnya tidak ikut turun. 😎🔥

4 SESSIONS. 1 BIG LEARNING JOURNEY. 🎯

https://lnkd.in/p/gvUPuV2i

Four sessions.
Four weeks.
And a lot of questions that made my mentor brain work overtime. 😂

I’m grateful to have completed my journey as a Masterclass Mentor for Design Thinking in IT Infrastructure & Cyber Security from Indonesia at the REP4 × GVSU Virtual Learner Design Summit, hosted by Excelerate.

From September 8 to October 6, I had the opportunity to guide learners as they explored real-world challenges through design thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication.

My role was not to give them the answers.

It was to ask better questions.

Challenge their assumptions.

And help them connect their ideas with real-world industry context.

That included reviewing their problem statements, solution directions, prototypes, pitches, storytelling, and presentations.

And honestly, that is where the fun began.

Because in Design Thinking, sometimes the biggest breakthrough starts with:

“Wait... are we solving the right problem?” 😄

The best part?

Hearing directly from the participants.

Their feedback reminded me why mentoring matters.

You don’t need to build the solution for someone.

You need to help them see the problem differently, ask sharper questions, and build the confidence to find their own way forward.

Ideas moved.

And problems started turning into possibilities.

Now, if you missed the sessions, don’t worry.

The classroom has left the Zoom room, but the learning is still available. 😉

Thank you to Excelerate, the REP4 × GVSU Virtual Learner Design Summit team, my fellow mentors, and especially the learners who showed up ready to question, experiment, present, receive feedback, and try again.

Thank you for trusting me with part of your learning journey.

Four sessions completed.

Questions asked.

Ideas challenged.

Solutions refined.

And yes, my Wi-Fi survived too. 😂

From problem statement to prototype, from prototype to pitch, this was one journey I’m grateful to have been part of.

Until the next challenge. 🚀

✈️ Not Perfect, Still Making a Difference! 🌍❤️

🚀 POLISH & LAUNCH: FROM PROFILE TO PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE

https://lnkd.in/p/gDEn-mTA

Three days. Two platforms. One professional identity.

And hopefully, fewer LinkedIn profiles that say everything except what you actually do! 😂

Today, I wrapped up Day 3 of “Get Noticed: The Professional Presence Masterclass,” with one mission: helping participants turn their LinkedIn profiles and Framer portfolios into a connected, professional presence.

Because looking professional is good.
Communicating your value is better.
Making it easy for people to find your proof of work? Now we're talking! 🎯

🎓 WHAT DID WE BUILD?

On Day 3, we focused on “The Digital Architect: Polish & Launch.”

Together, we worked on how to:

✅ Align LinkedIn positioning with portfolio content.

✅ Strengthen headlines, introductions, and professional stories.

✅ Showcase projects, skills, and achievements as proof of capability.

✅ Connect LinkedIn and Framer portfolios with working links.

✅ Test the mobile experience and make a stronger first impression.

✅ Publish a professional presence that people can access and explore.

The goal was clear. One professional direction, two connected platforms, and a stronger way to communicate your value.

Your LinkedIn tells your story.
Your portfolio shows your evidence.
Together, they make your professional presence easier to understand and remember.

That's what I call a profile with a purpose! 😉

👏 SHOUT-OUT TO OUR DAY 3 PARTICIPANTS

A big thank you to everyone who joined the session and contributed to our learning journey:

🌟 John Okonkwo
🌟 Nasi
🌟 Nkechi Eke
🌟 Annie
🌟 Fizza

Thank you for showing up, working on your professional presence, and being part of the journey.

Every improvement counts. Every clearer headline helps. Every working link removes one more obstacle between you and your next opportunity.

After all, opportunities are great. Broken links are not! 😂

📊 THE WORK DOESN'T END AT LAUNCH

The Day 3 blueprint established a concrete final deliverable:

🔹 One live LinkedIn profile.
🔹 One live Framer portfolio.
🔹 One connected professional presence.

The materials also outlined the final quality checks, including consistent positioning, relevant proof of work, working links, mobile presentation, and public accessibility.

These are practical outputs participants can use beyond the masterclass.

A polished profile creates clarity.
A portfolio provides evidence.
A connected presence makes it easier for others to explore your capabilities.

That is the professional presence we set out to build.

🎥 MISSED THE SESSION OR WANT TO REVIEW THE MATERIALS?

You can revisit the masterclass recording on our official platform and access the learning materials to continue improving your professional presence.

Review the lessons. Apply the improvements. Test your links.

Because publishing your profile is the starting point. Making sure it communicates your value is the real work.

🙏 THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THE JOURNEY

Three days of learning.
Three opportunities to improve.
One stronger professional presence to take forward.

We started with building the foundation. We refined the message. We connected the assets.

Now it's time to put that presence to work.

Remember, your profile gets attention, your portfolio builds credibility, and your professional story opens conversations.

So, polish your presence, launch with confidence, and get noticed for the value you bring.

Because the goal isn't simply to be online.

It's to make your professional value clear when the right person finds you. 🚀

🚀 FROM SURABAYA TO SPACE: NETWORKING TANPA BATAS!

https://lnkd.in/p/gXZsBCeV

Kalau networking biasa cari koneksi, kami berdua sudah naik level. Cari oksigen di luar angkasa! 😂🚀

📸 Foto pertama: Ketemu di Jatim Fest. Kacamata keren, outfit meriah, gaya percaya diri. Tinggal tunggu ada yang bilang, “Mas, ini networking atau mau manggung?”

📸 Foto kedua: Beberapa saat kemudian, kami sudah jadi astronaut!

Tenang, belum ada yang mendarat di Mars. Dompet saja masih perlu persiapan untuk ke Jakarta. 🤣

Tapi dari dua foto ini, saya belajar sesuatu yang lebih penting daripada sekadar gaya di depan kamera.

🤝 THE REAL LESSON: CONNECTION CREATES OPPORTUNITY.

Dalam networking, kita sering sibuk memikirkan tiga hal:

- Siapa yang harus saya temui?
- Apa yang bisa saya tawarkan?
- Apa yang bisa saya dapatkan?

Padahal, ada pertanyaan keempat yang sering terlupakan.

💡 “Siapa yang bisa saya bantu melalui koneksi saya?”

Karena satu percakapan bisa membuka satu peluang.
Satu perkenalan bisa menciptakan satu kolaborasi.
Dan satu hubungan yang dibangun dengan kepercayaan bisa menghasilkan dampak yang tidak pernah kita rencanakan sebelumnya.

Itulah mengapa saya percaya networking yang baik membutuhkan tiga hal:

🎯 BE PRESENT. Hadir dengan perhatian, bukan sekadar badan.

🤝 BE USEFUL. Cari cara untuk membantu, bukan hanya menjual.

🌱 BUILD TRUST. Jaga hubungan bahkan ketika belum ada transaksi.

Sebab, koneksi tanpa kepercayaan hanya menjadi koleksi kontak. Banyak nama di HP, tetapi belum tentu ada yang mengangkat telepon ketika kita butuh bantuan. 😂

Dan siapa tahu, orang yang hari ini kita temui di sebuah acara, besok menjadi partner bisnis, teman seperjalanan, atau bahkan rekan satu misi ke luar angkasa!

🌍 My takeaway?

Jangan ukur networking dari berapa banyak kartu nama yang terkumpul, berapa banyak koneksi LinkedIn yang bertambah, atau berapa banyak foto yang berhasil diunggah.

Ukur dari berapa banyak hubungan yang berhasil kita bangun dan berapa banyak orang yang terbantu karena kita terhubung.

Karena tujuan networking bukan sekadar memperluas lingkaran pertemanan. Tujuannya adalah menciptakan nilai bersama.

🚀 So, siapa tahu kita bertemu di event berikutnya?

Dari Surabaya ke luar angkasa, dari kenalan menjadi kolaborasi. Yang penting, jangan sampai chemistry sudah cocok, tetapi baterai HP habis sebelum sempat tukaran kontak! 🤣

💬 Your turn: Apa satu koneksi yang pernah mengubah perjalanan karier atau bisnis Anda?

Share your story in the comments. Siapa tahu cerita Anda menjadi awal koneksi baru bagi orang lain!

I received information about the Startup & SME 2026 Showcase in Singapore, an event bringing together startups, investors, mentors, and potential business partners.

In the AI era, a great idea alone is not enough. You need communication strategies, an understanding of emerging trends, and the right connections.

Every growing business needs three things:

Remember, networking is more than exchanging business cards. Otherwise, your wallet gets thicker, but your business pipeline might stay exactly where it is! 😄

🎯 WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

• Opportunities to present your startup to investors, mentors, and potential business partners.
• Networking and cross-industry collaboration opportunities.
• A chance to participate in the showcase and receive an e-certificate for selected teams.
• Insights into navigating communication and lifestyle trends in the AI era.
