We learned a new slang at our NovaLearn Team Summit last weekend: "𝗚𝗔𝗦!"
According to our Director of Sales (who learned it from her son), it means "That's awesome! That's great!!"
So... our first question is: 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵? 😬
Because if we did, then our first-ever NovaLearn Team Summit was definitely 𝗚𝗔𝗦.
This summit was an idea from our Co-founder & CEO, Sara, who believed it was time for all of us to step away from our screens and spend time together in the same room.
So we flew our team into Kuala Lumpur from Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Vietnam. For some of us, it was the very first time meeting in person after months (and for some, years) of working together through screens.
Over the past 1.5 days, we talked about where NovaLearn is headed next. We challenged ideas, debated decisions, solved problems, laughed over silly inside jokes, shared meals, and got to know the people behind the messages and video calls.
One thing we kept coming back to was this: working across different countries, cultures, and life experiences isn't always easy. We each bring different perspectives, ways of thinking, and ways of working. But instead of seeing those differences as obstacles, we embraced them. We asked ourselves how we could communicate better, support one another more, and become a stronger team - not just for ourselves, but for the educators, schools, parents, and students we serve.
Because at the end of the day, NovaLearn isn't just built on products or technology.
It's built by people who genuinely care about making education better.
We left Kuala Lumpur with clearer plans, deeper trust in one another, and a shared belief that we're building something meaningful together.
Looking forward for the next one 💜
