Completed the marriage mentoring workshop with my wife. A major milestone personally for me. Attending such a workshop does not mean our marriage is perfect and so we can mentor others. Rather, it means to us that our imperfect marriage creates a possibility to encourage others in a similar journey.
This program was designed to be part of a Career Awareness Day for a particular Secondary School. The special part of this program was that within the 200 odd students were 15 high functioning students with autism. It was the first time we are running such a program for a very diverse group of students. From the game, we observed there was a great number of students who willingly reach out to help others achieve the goals. We also saw many students exhibiting strong character traits such as resilience, determination and compassion through out the game. There was also a huge range of emotions being flushed out and there were many intense moments in the Game, which was a huge sign of strong participation and engagement. The game plan went better than expected. While there were areas which can be improved to get even better engagements and partnerships from the diverse group of students, it was overall a day that was very fulfilling. I felt very happy to read some of the comments by the students with autism: “I am very proud to be exposed to new things during the game and I learnt that it takes a lot of hard work and determination to succeed in life.” “I am very happy to make new friends from another school and I learnt that I need to take certain steps in life to go towards the job I want. I am grateful that the facilitators organize such a meaningful event for our job preparations. I hope these help offered can bring me to a brighter future.” “I managed to persuade some people to help me in my business and it succeeded. I learnt that I am a good team player and I can be persuasive.”

In partnership with Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) Singapore, I had the privilege to craft up a customized Education and Career Guidance (#ECG) program that catered to a total of 600 Secondary students. This program aims to help Secondary students explore their future career with greater clarity. Building on the #RIASEC profiling, a key focus by LLI, we equip students with practical strengths and skills as well as educate them on what people in different professions do on a daily basis. The career program featured professionals from the Finance, Tech, Engineering and Arts and Entertainment industry. The overall feedback was good. I’m glad that many students actually wrote that the 4hrs program was too short!

Running 10 concurrent sessions, 21 StrengthsFinder trainers were deployed. This student workshop program had a simple focus: help the students discover their innate talents and apply them in the area of #leadership. This was the first time #StrengthsSchool did an all boys cohort student program so the trainers weren’t sure what to expect. It was definitely challenging to a certain degree yet fulfilling at the same time. Looking forward to the next session with the boys!
Started the year by addressing over 300 parents and share about how Strengths affect our parenting style and how Strengths increase the wellbeing of our kids. This is the 3rd consecutive year I’m doing such a talk and very encouraged that the attendance has gone from 100 in the first year to over 300 this year. Managed to squeeze out some time to field some questions and answers from the floor. Grateful for the opportunity and for finishing the crazy 1st week of 2019 on a high note.
经常会得到邀请到中国和台湾去教优势课程。最近为客户设计个新的产品：优势杯子！这应该是世界第一个展现五大优势的杯子。客户赞好。我们也感到很骄傲！
We often get invited to run Chinese CliftonStrengths (former StrengthsFinder) Workshop in China and Taiwan. Recently, we designed a new mug for a group of Chinese clients to enhance the experience. This is probably the first Chinese CliftonStrengths Mug in the world! Very happy and proud of how the mug can be used to help build a Strengths Based Culture!
