In many computer games including Pokรฉmon or Brawl Stars, characters often have the ability to power up and finally unleash their โSUPERโ. In some sense, this idea reflects our own talents as well.
Iโm a catalyst. I enjoy helping participants discover their talents, find the spark they need in a workshop setting. I do that on a regular basis and some are large groups.
My โSUPERโ is different. ๐
In some sense, the unlocking requires me to work with a smaller group (not larger than 15pax). I combine facilitation with teamcoaching. I often feel like this is when my โSUPERโ is unleashed. ๐ฅ
With smaller groups, I have time to go deeper. I can coach and I can call out othersโ โSUPERโ. I love seeing the delight and joy when I do that.
I was very energized when I travelled from Singapore to Jakarta. This CliftonStrengths session was for a selected group of six individuals from different countries. Participants were from Singapore, Sri Lanka, India and China.
The individuals were coming together for the first time to connect face to face and to work on a specific project. My goal was to help them understand their talents and to use them collectively and collaboratively.
I had great fun! ๐คฉ
CliftonStrengths for Career and Vocation Exploration - Vocare
๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐
Over a decade ago, I left the pastoral vocation. I remembered vividly how I stepped into it in my twenties.
Vocare was a program created and designed by Anglican Diocese of Singapore to facilitate those interested to explore the full time #calling. Whether the role is pastoral, creative, caregiving, administrative or teaching in nature, it was a time for the participants to listen, reflect and ask questions.
I was invited to travel from Singapore to Johor Bahru, Malaysia to facilitate a CliftonStrengths session to help each participant discover their #strengths and understand how they can be useful for ministry work.
The session was highly customized.

Got to share some personal stories and grateful that the opportunity to prepare and share brought back many memories.
I deeply respect the vocational work of religious workers. These people built our communities and societies more than they are given credit for.
My best wishes to each participant to take each step by faith and be #courageous in the road ahead.
Emerging Leadership Program - Coaching skills with Corestrengths
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐จ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐
Leadership is developing awareness of our autopilot mode especially in how we show up at work and under conflicts. Awareness practice allows for conscious and adaptive behaviors to be better leaders in the long run.
This was a key learning for quite a few of the participants in the 4.5 days emerging leadership program that finished before the National day weekend.
Participants came from different APAC countries including ๐จ๐ณ China, ๐ฎ๐ณ India, ๐น๐ญ Thailand, ๐ฎ๐ฉ Indonesia, ๐ฒ๐พ Malaysia and ๐ธ๐ฌ Singapore.
One of the themes was focused on developing selfawareness and selfmanagement as a key leadership competency.
We did a lot of coaching conversations to practice empathy๐ซถ๐ผ and at the same time holding people accountable for their performance ๐
Had another great time of partnership and co-facilitating with Damien O'Malley. His humor and strong people engagement complements my direct and laser coaching style with candid feedback.
How are we like when we are on autopilot mode as leaders, parents, spouse etc?Inviting you to reflect together.

CliftonStrengths Teambuilding and Collaboration - Workforce Singapore
Did a full day CliftonStrengths workshop for the WSG Partners and Operations team. Focused on team building and how to leverage the talents to be more effective. As an operations team, it was extremely hard for everyone to come together so the opportunity created was treasured by the whole team.
There was great feedback and I was delighted to spend the day with them.
CliftonStrengths Youth Leaders and Volunteers Program - MYMCA
Organized by Metropolitan YMCA Singapore and sponsored by Hong Kong Land, I had the privilege to conduct a youth and young adults leadership workshop together with David Gil.
Glad to see that the youth and young adults found the workshop engaging and there was a high level of participation.

This statement was shared by a Singaporean leader when I asked the room โWhat makes a great leader?โ
It was my first time hearing this response after two decades of leadership work.
And it is very refreshing and deeply inspiring. That moment struck me deeply.
๐คHow much did this person walk the talk?
Out of curiosity, I interviewed (discreetly) two members in the same room. Both had great feedback about this leader and how happy and engaged they are at work.
โ
Lovely.
How did I experience this person through the whole day? Surely such a nugget of wisdom had to come from one who practice this truth consistently.
That leader made me (a facilitator) feel safe to engage freely. There was curiosity to learn, to hear my pov. That leader also created a space where people engaged deeply and freely. There was much openness and vulnerability though-out the day.
โ
I experienced safety.
This was a whole day workshop at NUS Central library diving into #StrengthsBasedleadership. Using the data, we unpacked why some leaders meet followersโ needs and why some donโt. We explored how leaders can specifically meet certain needs of the teams through customized actions and behaviors based on the teamโs CliftonStrengths data.
It was a delightful day spent. Time flew by very fast for a full day workshop and that is always a good indication that we were in flow mode.
