Thai Regional Summit Recap

Monday, January 07, 2013


Day 1

The magnificent Thailand played host to South East Asia’s greatest event of 2012: The 2012 Synergy Regional Summit. The land of smiles welcomes Team Members from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. In all, more than 1,000 energetic Team Members participated in the event, where they trained with top medical practitioners, shared interesting ideas, and experienced Synergy’s latest products in this exciting 2-day event!

And for such a great event, it’s only fitting to hold our regional summit in the most impressive Centara Grand at Central World. As one of the largest hotel in the Asia Pacific, Centara Grand is a 5-star hotel that offers excellent service and delicious feasts. The center’s dynamic design was inspired by the unique shape of a “Blooming Lotus” that combines the symbolic theme of the four elements of life: water, fire, earth and air. 

Such symbolic design aptly describes our progress, particularly in South East Asia: We bloomed with harmony in the midst of different cultures, languages, and religions. It created the most prefect atmosphere for our staff and Team Members world-wide, and this is what Synergy WorldWide calls a real network marketing!

Welcome Party
The summit kicked off on Friday evening with a lavish and warm welcome ceremony where we greeted Team Members from all 6 countries up stage. Accompanied by their respective flag bearers, Team Members were invited to walk up the stage with pride and glory, each representing rising leaders of Synergy WorldWide. Looking on at the sea of crowd in the Convention Hall, one cannot help but feel mesmerized and awed by the grandeur and majesty of such momentous evening, knowing surely that Synergy WorldWide is steadily growing stronger and confidently making its mark in South East Asia.


Synergy Worldwide executive management gave heartening words of encouragement to all Team Members, thanking them for the growth in the South East Asia region. President Dan Norman, Regional Controller Lawrence Choo, and General Managers Erwin Dumalang and Suphaphong Jantaraweeragul welcomed and encouraged Team Members to continuously strive for growth in Synergy WorldWide.


What ensued subsequently is a series of interesting programs installed specially for our Team Members—a series of entertainment by their fellow Team Members. Each country prepared unique and special performances to showcase our diversity. From Thailand, Pearl Executive Pavita Intasiri took the stage and performed “RUM CHUI CHAI PRAM”, a classical traditional royal dance in Thailand. The hall quickly turned into a deafening silence, with Team Members watching attentively as Pavita Intasiri strode gracefully across the stage while traditional Thai music played in the background. 
 

Other performances include live acoustic and vocal performance by Indonesia, vocal performance in Bahasa Indonesia, Thai, Vietnamese and Tagalog by Singapore, TOM TOM ethnic dance by Vietnam, and to mark the end of our special performances, a Thai Blessing Dance from Thailand.

Day 2
On the next Saturday morning, we brought in a pool of international experts to train our Team Members. The day was packed with rigorous training programs by product experts, doctor’s interview, motivational speeches by top leaders, and new product launches.

Training with International Experts

Session 1. Product training by Marketing Director Jenny Chen from Singapore: In line with the theme of our Regional Summit “H.E.A.R.T.”, Team Members were introduced to a series of “heart healthy” products, ranging from ProArgi-9 Plus, Omega-3 a.k.a. Fish Oil, CoQ-10, Garlic and many more. We also introduced one of our latest products launched – The Chlorophyll Soap.

Session 2. Doctor’s Interview with Dr. J. Joseph Prendergast: What does one give to meet with the famous Dr Joe? Well, anything. Team Members get an up-close and personal encounter with Dr Joe himself during the 2 hour interview session. Team Members learned much about ProArgi-9 Plus from Dr Joe and they returned as more knowledgeable distributors.

Session 3. Business sharing by international leaders: We had some special guests from Korea- Double Presidential Executives Hwang Yoon Tae and Hwang Han Tae. Sharing their inspirational stories with our Team Members, the Hwang brothers inspired and motivated Team Members to continuously strive for success in Synergy.


Presidential Executives Dr. Hardjanto Anggahusada and M. Rasyid from Indonesia also took the stage to encourage and share with Team Members their keys to achieving success. Both Dr. Harjanto and Rasyid told Team Members to be bold and follow their dreams to succeed.
 

Session 4. Health Sharing by Thai Boxer Buakew Bunchamek: Thailand Muay-Thai Boxing sensation, Buakew Bunchamek attended the summit to share with our Team Members his secret to a healthy and fit body. Buakew Bunchamek is a former Omnoi Stadium champion and two time K1 champion who has been in the ring for almost 22 years.


Rising Stars: The Recognition Evening
And perhaps the highlight of the day was the Recognition Evening. Team Members who achieved new rank advancement were invited up the stage to receive their pins and awards. The highest rank was delivered to Thailand’s Ponpavit Wongprasert who just achieved the Emerald Executive rank in October. During this star-studded evening, other honourable mentions include Pearl Exectives Pavita Intasiri, Nutthapol Maleewat and Ua-arri Tornueng from Thailand as well as William Goh from Singapore.
 

The summit ended with a beautiful performance by Khun-In, Narongrid Torsa-nga’s most famous Thai music performer. He played the “Ranat”, a type of wooden xylophone indigenous to Thailand.

In all, the 2012 Regional Summit was a great success. Team Members returned with greater passion and enthusiasm, to continue their Synergy journey, and to ultimately leave a legacy.

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
