CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Team Workshop - Revantage Valuation & Portfolio Team

It was a very fulfilling day spent with the team that does Valuations and Portfolio from Revantage. I was invited to run a series of CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) team workshops from Revantage, starting from this team.

The group of 10 was very engaged and participative. I enjoyed connecting with the group as many of them graduated from NUS Real Estate which was where I came from. I was the senior to several members of the team. Had many curious questions on why I pivoted from Real Estate to becoming a Professional Executive Coach.

Objectives of the session:

1. For each person on the team to gain greater self awareness of their individual strengths and foster mutual respect for others.  

2. For the team to understand the strengths and aspirations of each person to better collaborate as a team.

I’m glad that the team felt that the session achieved the objectives!

Experiential Leadership Program - Facilitation

In one of the rare moments, I get to experience a senior leader opening up to share about a huge mistake made during a high stakes global project. The entire room was immediately uplifted by the story that was told. That set the stage for a week of powerful learning. 

I had a fantastic time of facilitating the last day of the week long learning with Ryan and Alice. 

The goal of the day was to help the leaders put their skills into a time of practice. We created a sandbox to achieve the purpose.

Through the experiential leadership labs and role plays, the leaders get to apply all the knowledge and skills they have learned over the week. Many get to practice navigating difficult conversations, practice noticing their overdone strengths under pressure and practice balancing care for subordinates and being accountable for performance. 

Many realized how difficult it is to listen, to stay open and curious under pressure. The tension experienced brought out so much learning. The debrief was very rich and extremely insightful.

I’m so glad that the design created the heat for the participants. We simply shared our observations on how different ones showed up. 

My goal was to help the leaders become better observers of themselves in how they show up and I felt I achieved that. 

Looking forward to the rest of the sessions scheduled for the year!

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Team Coaching - Events & Spaces Team

Had a wonderful time doing my 7th session with the Events and Spaces team. This time, we decided to go into discussing team and individual strengths and understanding expectations of each other.

As a highly collaborative team, there are always opportunities to rub each other off in the wrong way. The intent of the session was to help different ones articulate what might be important for each individual and to gain greater awareness of self and the team.

Individualized 1-1 CliftonStrengths Coaching

[Bringing Hope and Courage]

I love #coaching because my personal mission is bringing hope and courage to those I meet. Coaching is one of the main avenues I do that.

To me, one of the key distinctions of coaching is that it is a specific conversation about exploring possibilities. It is shifting our attention from the problems faced to the possibilities that surround us.

As an #ontologicalcoach, I have witnessed huge transformation when people engage deep in the emotion of hope and explore possibilities for their own future.

As a cliftonstrengths coach, I have witnessed the joy and delight when people saw their strengths in a new light.

▶ Have you experienced the joy of exploring possibilities of your own future?

▶ Engage a coach with that purpose in mind and you will leave the conversation feeling hopeful.

▶ Coaching is not about problem solving though the process might entail that.

▶ Coaching is done to give you a pair of new eyes to see the world that you have not been seeing.

Ontological Team Coaching - Motion Events and Spaces Team

After a series of new hires, I had the privilege to start a series of team coaching sessions for the Events & Spaces team for Motion for Impact. As the in-house team coach, this is something I really enjoyed doing.

As part of the ongoing Newfield Ontological Team Coaching program, I also had the privilege of getting a mentor coach give feedback to my team coaching sessions to get even sharper in my team coaching practices.

As an ontological practitioner, the team coaching practice and feedback is extremely valuable as I get to observe my own ontological coaching and notice my blindspots.

The team coaching sessions really helped me to see how powerful a team can be when there is high trust and openness with one another and how team members get to be highly performing and highly collaborative.

Discover Your Cutting Edge - Young Adults Experiential Workshop

Organized by Metropolitan YMCA Singapore and sponsored by Hong Kong Land, I had the privilege to facilitate a youth and young adults career workshop with the theme on mental well-being.

Participants were 21-30 years old.

Using the ontological approach, I designed the workshop around the idea of building Self-Confidence and covered 2 key components:
1. Knowing Your Cutting Edge

2. Expanding your capacity for discomfort.

I contextualised the applications towards career development and there were lots of great questions and engagement. There were an experiential experience designed to help the young adults understand how they behave in discomfort. That was the highlight and I’m glad that many walked away understanding what it takes to build self-confidence.
