Jessica Lu

Based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Jessica is now a freelance trainer, executive coach and public speaker with a direction of sharing her knowledge and experience to help professionals achieve their peak performance and career objectives.  She is a SIYLI’s certified “Search Inside Yourself” teacher in English and Chinese languages.

Jessica draws on her 20-year managerial and entrepreneur experience in Asia, with expertise on Human Resources Management functions and focuses on people management training and leadership coaching.

After she sold her successful consultancy company (SMART HR Vietnam) to the multinational consulting company (Watson Wyatt) in 2012, she has been embracing her dream life style as a semi-retiree, spending 1/3 of time traveling to see the world; 1/3 enjoying activities for personal growth and relaxation; and 1/3 helping professionals, managers, executives and educators in building habits for effectiveness, work/life balance for performance and emotional intelligence for relationship and peace in mind.

In 2017, Jessica started the Search Inside Yourself Teacher Certificate Training and became the first person certified in this course in Vietnam and Taiwan. To Jessica, the secret key to open the emotional intelligence is mindfulness. In her opinion, only when we practice mindfulness, we can be good at self-awareness, which is the beginning of the journey inwards to notice, understand and handle our own emotions, then to notice, understand
and help others.
