I’ve been following Allan Pease for over 20 years reading his books and listening to his CDs. I have had the privilege of speaking to him for over three times. He shares with me his very candid story of how he experienced cancer more than once and his new book will be departure from the usual. “The Keys: How To Get Everything You Want In Life” his soon-to-be-released book talks about his depression despite being a motivational speaker. One of his […]

I had plans to write about other things this week but something pertinent has happened in the workplace. This is of course regarding this interview that has resulted in us being compounded. I am drawing parallels to this with how I’m raising my son. And with that, I am reflecting how my parents raised me up. It was a different generation of course where they imposed their rules and you listen. No questions asked. Whether you follow their advice is another […]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iccscUFY860 I saw this ad last month and you have to give it to John Lewis for really tugging at the heart strings (and purse strings!). Christmas or festivals in general can be wonderful or bleak-ish depending on where you are mentally. More recently, I attended the wedding of fitness instructor Noel Chelliah and SEA gold medalist Kimberly Yap. I always cry at weddings but this was extra special for me. Just six months back, Kimberly was involved in an accident […]

I’ve had season parking where I work for a few years now. So it’s season and not reserved parking. What this means is that I have to find my own parking spot. As I go to work fairly early, I usually go to the lowest floor where there are no other cars and I have my choice parking spot. This is a wonderful spot where I am literally 10 steps to the lift. So although it’s not my spot, it’s “my” […]

I wrote this article in September for the December issue of Baccarat. I finally got hold of the magazine today and realized how much I needed to read it myself. I’m feeling crappy, upset, needy and insecure. I know the tools to get back on track but I just don’t feel like it. Yes, there will be days like these! I needed the reminder that tomorrow will indeed be a better day. Again?! Given a 2-month deadline to write this article, […]

Every year I have an almost similar interview with Action Coach Jeevan Sahadevan. Every year around November we’ll be talking about setting goals for the new year. Even though we’ve been through it for a few years, I always get something different because of the different stages of my life. My state of mind is always different. This year in particular I’ve been especially motivated having been in a sort of slumber for the last two years. Designing An Incredible 2015 […]

You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it’s evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world Before you think I’m about to be seditious, I’m talking about a revolution of a different kind. That said, together the revolters do change the country and the world. I’m talking about the Entrepreneur Revolution. One of the most mind-blowing books for me this year would have to be […]

I never thought this day would come. And no, I can’t say I know any of her songs! Ms Swift however has a reputation of using every break-up as fodder for her next song. I bet she secretly works towards a break-up. Why am I bringing this up? I seem to be most “inspired” when my heart is troubled and no, it’s not necessarily a break-up or unrequited love. Just everyday scenarios where I catch myself being bothered by something. Life […]

Well, it’s not JUST about the money. Having met with so many businesses, the ones who have lasted seem to have a bigger vision, that extra something. I’ve always felt that you need to be benevolent to go into business if you want to be in it for the long haul. I guess benevelonce comes in many forms. I then came across Carol Sanford who wrote the book “The Responsible Entrepreneur.” She outlined four types of entrepreneurs. Each with a different […]
