Pauline Nguyen

Escaping Vietnam on a handmade boat as a young child, Pauline and her family fled communist reign to eventually land on Australian shores. But for the Nguyen family, it was jumping from the frying pan and into the fire. A childhood shaped by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and physical, emotional and mental abuse ensued – what Pauline now dubs as her ‘training’ to the life of mastery she now leads. This is the detailing of Pauline’s road to founding the world’s most awarded Vietnamese restaurant, Red Lantern; the hardships, the burnout, the resurrection and the triumph, incorporating all that Pauline has learnt along the way.

NAVIGATING THROUGH CHANGE AND DISRUPTION

Recent times have shown on a global scale that there are no certainties in life and that disruption is inexorable; yet Pauline’s message shines through the chaos. As she says, “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is the choice.” Pauline truly knows at a cellular level that courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. As a winner of the Telstra Australia Business Award for Medium Business and as an original Rare Bird (Australia’s Top 50 Influential Female Entrepreneurs) Pauline has a deep, vital understanding of what it takes to lead from the front. Speaking from direct experience, Pauline shares her invaluable skills of self-mastery, courage, resilience and grit, and how these traits are the ultimate foundations to personal and professional success.

HOW TO BECOME A WEAPON OF INFLUENCE

Named as one of the ‘200 Women Who Will Change the Way You See the World’, Pauline understands that if you want to influence others, it starts with the person in the mirror. “This is about self-mastery,” she says, “Not only our mind but our heart, health and soul.” As the critically acclaimed author of two best-selling books, Secrets of the Red Lantern, (winner Debut Writer of the Year) and The Way of Spiritual Entrepreneur (winner Best Entrepreneurship and Small Business Book of the Year) Pauline shows that possibilities are infinite and abundance inevitable when you embody the weapons of influence.
