CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Leadership Team Coaching - Partnerships and Collaboration

Had a fabulous time facilitating a team session and coaching a group of very established leaders using #cliftonstrengths (formerly known as StrengthsFinder). Many flew in from overseas so we had a chance to do the session in person rather than having a hybrid session.

The emotional and mood space of the team was perfect for learning. Many shared openly and vulnerably. Each person intentionally slowed down, listened to others and had time for personal reflection.

I had fun designing the short session, listening in and observing the dynamics. I deeply believe the insights and feedback generated through the session will bear fruit for many of these leaders.

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Leadership Team Coaching - Collaboration

Ran a hybrid team coaching session for a team of regional leaders using #CliftonStrengths (formerly known as StrengthsFinder).

Did a one word check in at the start and words like “curious, excited, grateful” came up. The mood of the team was perfectly set up for learning and I believe the team’s mood contributed to me feeling strongly engaged as well.

We explored how to leverage strengths more effectively for collaboration. We also explored the shifts that are needed for a more intentional strengths based approach to leadership. It was great fun.

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Leadership Motivation Talk - Emotional Intelligence

Did a hybrid session a few days ago on integrating strengths intelligence (using #cliftonstrengths) with emotional intelligence for over 50 HODs from Singapore Tourism Board. This is the 16th time I have done equipping for the same organization. Thankful that I can have trust from them.

1. We had discussions in small groups. The energy level went up significantly. One of the greatest values from such a session is the opportunity to process and share with others how their strengths are expressed at work.

2. We explored leadership scenarios and how strengths operate in context.

3. We explored emotional contexts and how strengths are affected depending on the emotional contexts of individuals and teams.

It was a lovely time.

Best of all, I bumped into friends who I have not met for many years. It is both a privilege (and a weird kind of feeling) when I run a session and there are friends sitting in as participants.

Staying In Your Cutting Edge - Strengths Workshop for Learning Festival

Was invited to speak at a learning festival last week. The coordinator and I deliberated if we should do a short talk about the power of using CliftonStrengths or StrengthsFinder tool.

We went in another direction and I ended up doing a mini workshop that lasted an hour. I facilitated a group of staff from the aviation sector to explore their cutting edge contributions and qualities. The feedback was great and I am thankful for the opportunity to help people get clarity on some of the biggest contributions they can bring regardless of context.

Self Leadership and Career Workshop - University Students

{Self-Leadership & Career Workshop]

Employers are looking for talent. Often, attributes that employers hope to see in candidates include a great attitude, a strong sense of ownership, resilience etc. Self-Leadership is so needed at the workplace and is a kind of work that every employee needs to do but often neglects.

I do feel that this topic is one that is severely neglected / under-explored or discussed in schools. I see this as a big gap in how we prepare our future generations for their career. And I often wonder why little is being taught about the nature of inner work / self work when it has such huge implications for collaborative work, trust building, communications in the workplace.

I had the privilege to run a workshop for students from James Cook University recently. It was designed to help the students understand how self-leadership is strongly connected to our career goals. I am passionate about investing in the future generations and I see this as a huge part of nation building.

Check out what this workshop covers in this short video.

Energy Management and Well Being Talk

[Manage Your Energy, Manage Your Life]

Energy in our body is the fuel needed to sustain performance. Many are reporting that “they generally feel tired all the time” in this current season. Managing our energy in a holistic way is all the more important to avoid burnout, disengagement and win our fight against our mental health challenges. Not just mental health, we need to pay attention to physical health, emotional health and spiritual health (or what most termed as purpose).

This was a 40 minutes Energy Management and Well Being Talk for a group of 80 finance staff from a large retailer in Singapore. This was also my first face to face talk since 2019. I love helping people take ownership in different areas of their lives so I’m very grateful for opportunities such as this to live out my personal mission!
