It has started. Be part of our Asian journey.

It all started in Manila, Philippines, where I was surprisingly given a microphone and was asked to give a speech. I was chilling. I got a lot of nerves. I didn’t know what to say or do. After four years, here I am travelling Asian countries speaking to different foreign groups and organizations.

<h2>First Stop: Global Brunei 2010</h2>
Enterprise Asia sent me an email inviting be as a speaker in their event. I said yes.

Here's how my Brunei speaking engagement started:
<blockquote>Dear Mr. Lloyd A. Luna,

I am delighted to inform you that Enterprise Asia is convening the above forum and I am writing to officially invite you to deliver a presentation as well as share your expertise at the event.

Enterprise Asia’s Global Brunei 2010 will be held in conjunction with the Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards 2010 at the same date and venue as above. We would be especially honored to have you to share your expertist on the topic: Session Five- Panel Discussion: Focusing on emotional intelligence in the workplace will create a better synergy for entrepreneurs in a global market.

National Entrepreneurship Forum is conceived from the growing need for Asian entrepreneurs to connect, create a synergistic business environment and take sustainable actions to propel Asian business to greater heights. It is a gathering of Asia’s top entrepreneurs to network, share experience &amp; knowledge, and identify regional challenges and opportunities to lead Asia in its entrepreneurship agenda.

Through this forum we strive to create an Asia that is rich in entrepreneurship as an engine towards responsible, sustainable, progressive economic and social development, and we strongly believe that you have a wealth of experience and expertise to deliver exactly what the delegates need; your presence will provide immense inspiration for them.

Expectedly 200 business leaders comprising of about 100 local and 100 international delegates (Asia Pacific countries) will be attending this event. We hope that this initiative will be able to help to promote Brunei as one of the investment destination in Asia.

I would also like to add that all speaking slots are 35 to 45 minutes max. Attached here the programme agenda for your viewing. Please note that the bullet points are mere guidelines and may be amended to better reflect the content of your presentation. Kindly take note that this is a draft copy. You are also free to propose some topics that you think will be relevant.

I do understand that you must definitely have a very busy schedule, but an indication / tentative decision on whether or not you would be able to speak within the same or next day would be very much appreciated.

If you need any clarifications, which could help you make a decision on this invitation, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am looking forward to a favourable reply.
Attached is the programme draft for the above said forum, and brief introduction about Enterprise Asia and the forum for your understanding.

Thank you.

LLOYDLUNA: I'm excited to do this one not only because I'm going to speak in front of Asia's finest entrepreneurs. This will be my first time in Brunei. I only know this country through social studies books and maps.
<h2>Second Stop: Brand You First</h2>
Personal Branding Asia initially invited me to attend the event as a delegate. A potential delegate-turned speaker, I’m very happy to be part of the roster of wonderful (and great) international experts on personal branding.
<h2>Third Stop: Asian Publishing Convention</h2>
I’m a self-published author and started my publishing business with a very little fund, without a strong reputation, and without any experience. In Ho Chi Minh City, I’ll talk about “Creating A New Publishing Mindset.
<h2>Fourth Stop: Manila International Book Fair</h2>
Now, this is great. I was given four slots during the three-day event. The organizer also allowed me to formally launch my latest book, The Internet Marketing Handbook.
