This is where we get up close and personal with the topics you've asked for. Take some time to read through the categories and choose the best fit for you and your business.
We don't play small in this arena. It’s time to work.
From the moment you are born, you are influenced and moulded by the people around you and your environment. So whether you had a good childhood or not, we can say that our parents/ guardians play a big part in our upbringing. For example, I grew up in Singapore in a conservative Chinese...
The phrase “We don’t know what goes on behind closed doors” is often used to express the view that we shouldn’t judge or make assumptions about others and must be fully informed of the facts (as far as possible) before making conclusions.
This has long been a...
Our idea of creativity is constantly changing, but when you think about it, creativity has always existed. You can go back to the Ice Age period and see drawings on the walls and the stories they share. We were born to create.
These days, we can use our creativity to communicate our...
Are you returning to the office after working from home for a few months?
Did you have a 'business uniform'?
Did you have a 'casual' uniform?
Has the office 'dress code' shifted to a whole new look?
Are you feeling overwhelmed about what to wear to return to the office?
Trust me, you are...
Life can get so cluttered, both physically and mentally, that you don’t even realise it. One of my immediate goals in life is to be able to have more freedom. It includes simplifying my living spaces and mind so that I have less stuff to manage daily, both physically and emotionally....
I first found Randi's story in the most unlikely of places, browsing the LinkedIn platform. Usually reserved for discussions around B2B sales, commerce, recruitment and strategy, Randi's utterly candid real-life journey stood out to me like a hot pink beacon, and I knew I needed to reach out to...
Now that air travel is what it is, it’s more important than ever to carry less.
One thing that stresses people out about travelling is packing.
I used to be one of those people.
I eased my stress about packing by bringing everything with me. I was a chronic over-packer. And, if the...
It can be a good thing…
The notion of authenticity and tapping into one's greatness to own your truth has been dominant in recent years. While this is true, there seems to be an asterisk when it comes to introverts. The prevailing wisdom is "you can be who you are, unless you're an...
The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities. I feel sure that we are all an advocate of these efforts and...
What do you think of when you hear the word happiness?
Many people have a complicated relationship with joy. It's perceived as something 'out there' or something to work towards or obtain when we have something better to be happy about.
Spoiler alert, If you make it so, you'll quickly find...
In 1988 there was a catchy little song titled, Don't Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin. Of course, I'm singing it in my head right now, LOL. While the song's title isn't bad advice, we can't unconsciously steamroll ourselves with positivity.
Most of us were told to smile, put on a happy face, stop...
It was early in 2006, and I took the train from central Modena back to my hotel after a day of solo sightseeing.
It gets dark early in Italy during winter, and although it was only 5:30 pm, it felt and looked like 9 pm. I entered an empty carriage except for two women sitting together (I assumed...

Fashion is something we all deal with every day. Even those who don't think they take part in fashion still have to put some thought into the clothes they choose every morning; it's part of our self-expression.
I liken choosing our daily outfit to pick & mix; so many...
