We don't play small in this arena. It’s time to work.
It's like I've had an epiphany.
As schools and businesses prepare to re-open and return to regular business working hours this week, we could be forgiven for saying it is appropriate to remove the Christmas decorations and return them to their storage home for the next 12 months. The questions...
Dear CEOs,
As I write this, I can notice the chill in the air. The leaves have slowly but surely started changing colours, and I feel a bit of disbelief that we're already in the last quarter of the year. Halloween and pumpkin spice lattes signal that Christmas music will be in the air...
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...
Recently, someone posed the following question to me, which many of us can relate to.
"I started back at the gym (insert any activity) and went regularly for a few months and then I gradually stopped going. I haven't been back and I'm feeling really down about it. What advice do you have?"
I...
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...
Procrastination is one of the biggest killers of dreams!
I think it's safe to say that we've all got at least one dream lurking in our minds that we'd love to have come true. When the magic of a dream first touches us, we're filled with excitement and inspiration. Hours drift by as...
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...
When I was asked to write this article, the brief was 'How to end the year strong!'. I thought - Why is the emphasis on ending the year strong when actually, you need to prepare for the following year to begin strong?
As entrepreneurs, we all get into this hype and mindset that January is a slow...
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...
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...
Motivation is the term most often used to describe why a person does something - the driving action behind human behaviour. It is often linked to goals or behaviour used to initiate a favourable outcome for the person involved.
Self-motivation helps you do what you do. It's linked to...
Self-love, what is it?
Before we learn how to cultivate self-love, we need to understand what it is. It means accepting yourself fully, treating yourself with kindness and respect, and nurturing your growth and well-being. Self-love isn't selfish, but it's selfish if you only love yourself....
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...
It's hard to believe we're halfway through the year, yet here we are!
As we move into the Summer and start looking forward to having some time for rest and relaxation, now is the perfect time to take stock of how the year's going for you.
All too often, we leave checking in on the things we...
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...
