Lim Charis Care Corner
Occupation : Executive
Industries : Social Service
Charis graduated from the University at Buffalo (New York, United States) with a Bachelor (Hons) in Psychology. She is now working with Care Corner Singapore Ltd as a Social Work Executive with the Youth Services. She has been an active learner and contributor in the work with children and youths.

Having the desire to understand children, Charis began working as a Special Needs Education Coach in 2016 for 1.5 years. Through developing individualised programmes, Charis guided her students of diverse learning needs to develop positive communication skills and build resilience.

Charis was drawn to the mental health needs of youths and worked as a School Counsellor in 2017 for 3 years. With the principle that every individual possesses inner strengths to be discovered, Charis helped youths remake meaning of the past, rule over emotional triggers and gain awareness of their choices.

In wanting to bridge the gap between youths dreaming of a better self and becoming that better self, Charis has since began working with youths as a Social Work Executive in 2021. Using an insights-oriented approach, Charis empowered unmotivated students and youths offenders— some facing mental health and family issue — to exercise informed decisions and brave through obstacles hindering growth.

At the heart of her work, it is little about fixing problems, more about inspiring individuals to learn about themselves and inviting them to take ownership of their personal growth and dreams.

I believe in empowerment of women as a society can grow only when women grow! Being a ‘feminist’ to me means being gender equal where there is no criteria of gender before choices are made while providing opportunities. Apart from this I always am concerned about “what world we would want to leave for our future generations - be it values, beliefs, culture or environment. I strive to make small contributions to make this world a better place in my own way.

In my current role as a global leader operations for 27 countries across central and Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Africa with Conservation International, I empower and influence cross-cultural teams to translate organizational effectiveness and operations excellence into actions by spearheading the development and implementation of a operations strategy that provides effective on-the-ground support. I have consistently demonstrated moving the organizational needle from ‘status quo’ to ‘building and driving high performing teams which has enabled the organization to maximize its social and environmental impact.

Earlier in my career, I pivoted from for-profit and consulting organizations to multinational not-for-profit organizations, which not only brought me more personal fulfilment but also empowered me to better human well-being around the world.

My exposure to a variety of cultures has allowed me to closely observe and understand them through their different values and beliefs. I intend to share these insights through my work, interactions, public speaking, and coaching.

More broadly, one of my core values as a professional and a person is giving. This could be giving through my finances, my experience, my time or through my actions. I truly believe that I am blessed to be in a position to give. I bring this giving philosophy into action not just through an impact-driven organization but also by sharing my learning, wisdom and experience with individuals, leaders, and executives through coaching.

My work keeps me on my toes, but I love decompressing with a glass of wine, a great book or long walks in nature.
