Mya Thandar Oo @Maya (Chief Sales Officer Myjobs.com.mm) We all can make a difference. Although a little step of kindness cannot change the entire world, it can yet change a world of at least one person. Therefore, we shall not stop making little kind steps towards each other, regardless of the circumstances. Make the decision to extend kindness. Warm someone's heart today, now. Pass it along and never underestimate the power of life's universal values.

My name Ms. Mya Thandar Oo is a passionate traveler and lover of people. I graduated with a Master of Law (LL.B, LL.M) 2006 in East of Yangon University, Myanmar. I was one of the alumni of Draper University (Silicon Valley) 2020 and PEACE- Myanmar Center in Yangon from 2015 to 2019.

I am a freelance trainer, motivational speaker, corporate advisor and diversity advocate. I conducted the sales ethics training, personal branding and leadership skill, and gender-based violence training coordinated with the other community-based organizations in Myanmar. I was on a mission to help organizations, leaders and individuals to “Break the Bias' ' and reconsider the potential of themselves and their teams, outside of the societal expectations which might be holding them back. As an expert in gender equality and empowerment, leadership development, and unlocking the potential of people. I have an inquisitive and innovative mind for education, with a strong business acumen, international outlook and unfailing energy and commitment for accounting.

I have developed and instigated a number of different innovative tertiary educational programs. I am working to promote diverse women and gender women Leadership roles such as women’s rights, Human rights and gender rights, civic & political engagement. What makes me qualified to do this is my experience with the Islamic community and diverse communities of how to build leadership and peace building. This is important to Burma because minority groups including the Rohingya ethnic group have to have rights to participate in transition to democracy and Human Rights for Justice. Recently, I was awarded a Myanmar Women Leadership 2021 (CMO Asia). I have been shortlisted for Women Icon Power by the Women Council affiliated with Times Women Award 2022. I have been Mentor for the 2022 mentorship program for Deep Global Shapers Yangon (GSY).

This International Women’s Day, I was exploring how we, as women, have the power to support other women to rise up, not just in our local communities and networks but right across the world. With a specific focus on the economic empowerment of women, supporting women to become economically independent is one of the most effective pathways to lift entire communities out of poverty. We’ll explore different ways that Myanmar women have made their contribution to the world by backing women overseas to build their own micro businesses so they can support their families and begin to break the cycle of poverty in their villages.

Identifying the high level of stress and overwhelm experienced personally and by working mothers, who wanted to find a way to make a difference to their daily lives. She dedicated her career to helping professional working mothers find more freedom and fulfillment through coaching in wellbeing. By the mission to find answers to why the daily juggle for balance between work and life is so elusive for women in high pressure roles in leadership positions across a diverse range of industries.
