How do I top May 2022? I wont even try.
June was still a great month. We travelled around Vietnam, working in HaNoi, Sa Dec, SaiGon, Hoi An, and Da Nang. We are seeing that Cherry is gaining some celebrity in Vietnam
Not long ago, Teal Unicorn consisted of Cherry and I, with occasional help from expert friends. We are enjoying closer and more regular support from three of those friends who work with (not for) us now, as Associate Consultants: Huynh Thi Hang, Tran Duong, and Thi Thanh Hoa Dao. You can call them Hang, Duong, and Hoa. Welcome to Team Teal!
It is so wonderful whenever we get together with our tribe of clients, followers, and friends. Back in Vietnam, we have been catching up with them after two years away, in Teal Tribe get-togethers
We ran our new game, the Doily Studio, twice: one test run and one with 27 people. We love it.
We still managed to blog quite a lot, including in Vietnamese too. Here are the English blog posts for June:
Amber are an online training company who are one of our new favourite clients. Here is a case study.This must be one of the fastest organisational improvements in Vietnam. Mostly over a period of just three months, Amber Academy have advanced in a series of incremental steps.

Companies that lay off staff in order to maintain profits need to look long and hard at their values. So should those who remain working there – you’re next.
I continue to struggle to convince people that probability doesnt tell us much. It’s not based in data, just guesswork. The future has never happened before. Nothing can tell us what is going to happen next.
I’m the first to pile it on McKinsey. I’ve been rude as hell. I use them as a negative case study in my consultant training.
At the same time, the content they produce is good.
