Endorsement for the “Governance Skills for Business Owners” Program

A Motivational Reflection by Mr. OU Kim Seng, President of Cam Bird’s Nest

In Cambodia’s fast‑changing business landscape, small and medium enterprise owners carry the nation’s hopes on their shoulders. Every day, they build jobs, support families, and keep local communities thriving. Yet, as markets evolve and competition rises, passion alone is no longer enough. What separates a business that merely survives from a business that truly scales is governance — the skill of leading with structure, clarity, accountability, and long‑term vision.

This truth was powerfully affirmed by Mr. OU Kim Seng, President of Cam Bird’s Nest, after completing the course “Governance Skills for Business Owners” under CEO Master Club. His reflection is not only an endorsement of a program, but a wake‑up call for every Cambodian entrepreneur who dreams bigger than today.

Mr. Kim Seng shared that he was deeply satisfied with the program, describing it as truly special for reshaping how business owners prepare themselves. Like many entrepreneurs, he had previously operated with one main goal: to make the business grow and move forward. He believed that thinking like a CEO was the peak of leadership. But through this course, he discovered that sustainable success requires more than a CEO mindset — it requires a governance mindset.

Under the guidance of Senior Mentor Mr. OM Seng Bora, the course opened his eyes to the “big engine” behind every strong company: shareholders, boards of directors, and clear governance systems. Before joining, he admitted he did not understand the real mechanisms of partnership, shareholding structures, or how co‑ownership should be organized. He could see the problems, but not the principles that solve them.

The program helped him realize something transformative: behind successful businesses, there are always rules, frameworks, and governance principles that guide decisions. These are not theories for giants only — they are practical tools for real Cambodian businesses. In Mr. Kim Seng’s words, this course is not exclusively for large companies; it is for every business owner who wants to grow with stability and dignity.

For small business owners, governance may sound like a “big business” concept. But in reality, governance is what protects your business from chaos. It helps you define who decides what, how profits are shared, how accountability is built, and how leadership can continue even when challenges come. Governance turns a founder‑dependent business into a system‑driven business — one that can expand, attract partners, and survive across generations.

CEO Master Club exists to make these advanced yet essential leadership skills accessible to Cambodian entrepreneurs. Through structured training, mentorship, and a community of growth‑minded owners, CEO Master Club equips members to move beyond daily firefighting and into strategic, life‑building leadership.

Mr. Kim Seng’s journey is a mirror for many. If you are working hard, dreaming big, and feeling that your business is ready for the next level, this is your moment to invest in the skills that will carry you there. The “Governance Skills for Business Owners” course is not just a class; it is a turning point — from running a business to leading an institution.

To every small business owner in Cambodia: your ambition deserves a stronger foundation. Join CEO Master Club, learn governance, and build a business that is not only bigger — but better, stronger, and built to last.

“This course is truly extraordinary. It helped me understand that real business growth requires governance structures — shareholders, boards, and clear principles — not just the mindset of a CEO. And this is for every business owner, not only large companies.”
