Hi, I am Esther Xu.

When we speak through a life,
Our life is a story,
We change lives

I am one of those and I was motivated. Success for any new direction is not easy, but her presentation has revived my hopes.  I can just congratulate her for her presentation, positivity and clearly conveying what she wanted to say. Many speakers fail, but she was a success story.

Your story would touch many people’s hearts, and not everyone would have the courage to share the highs and lows. We should all learn to listen to our body and soul, and reconnect with our inner self as you have suggested. Thank you, Emma

I have attended Esther’s session on emotion management. She not only shared about her own testimony which was really encouraging, but also exercises and activities we get to do during the session. It was really helpful as I got to learn about my own emotions and to learn to focus on it. It was also eye-opening to see the different and subtle skills to use during communications with others and how working on it would really help with improving it. Even though it was through zoom, the message was delivered across really well.

Esther shared more than stories and experiences but also a perspective. A perspective that helps get people out of loneliness and isolation. Reducing that cultural stigma that prevents family to communicate more and reach harmony. It was a very inspirational but also meaningful talk for our group members.

Esther speaks with such warmth and authenticity, quickly establishing a sense of connection and safety with her audience. Through sharing her own story, she draws people to reflect on their own lives, their well-being, and encourages self-love as well as meaningful connection with others. A truly moving and inspirational event. Thank you
