Most of us want to be happy.
Have you ever wondered what is really in the way of being happy?
Let's find out more about:
- Why are so many people unfulfilled and unhappy?
- How can we get more fulfillment and happiness?
- What do we really need to do to make this happen?
We shared the key reason why most people are unhappy, and what is the construct of finding our path to happiness, and exactly how we can apply The HAPPY™ Coaching System for Self-Discovery to learn more about ourselves in order to be happier.
As we look beyond the volatile 2020 into the new year, do we want to be stuck in fear and anxiety or look forward with hope and confidence? How can we take actions to become more self-aware, reframe our mindset in shaping our perspective, and build habits that will help us achieve them?
This is an introduction to the key concepts of The HAPPY™ Coaching System to learn how we can use it for self-discovery, which will be followed up with further webinars to apply it to careers, teams, and organizations.

In the current COVID-19 crisis, many jobs and business opportunities are wiped out resulting in many feeling lost and affected financially. Also, because of the lock-down situation, social media and the online space have become the primary communication channel which led to it being overcrowded with lots of “noise”.

How do you then stand out from the crowd? What can you do to showcase your value to prospects/employers by cutting through these distractions?

In the upcoming session:
- Pick up practical tips on ways to build your personal brand
- Learn to leverage on LinkedIn and online mediums to boost your outreach

Join John Bittleston, Founder Mentor & Executive Chairman Terrific Mentors International and Yen-Lu Chow, co-founder, Asia Institute of Mentoring, in a fireside chat moderated by Lita Nithyanandan to explore one of the most pressing topics of our time: What We Want From New Leaders (in a Post-Crisis World)?

The leadership challenges of our time have been vividly exposed and accentuated by the current pandemic sweeping the globe. In this inaugural fireside chat organized by the AIM United Against COVID-19 (UNACOV) initiative, we explored many leadership (and mentoring) questions:

- What are some of the top qualities we expect from a leader during times of crisis and change?
- Do good leaders need to be good mentors too?
- Can mentoring help develop a good leader? How?
- Does a great leader equate to a great mentor? Why?
- How can we influence more business leaders to become mentors?
- How can we find a suitable mentor?
- What do you think of the ''pay it forward' approach to mentoring?

With no definite time-frame for a COVID-19 vaccine in sight, the road ahead of us looks to be long, winding, and fraught with uncertainties, difficulties, and challenges.

“It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that is very applicable to mentoring.

Our “village” has never been more necessary than it is today. We live in a fast-paced, instant information, and pressure-packed world.
Mentees also go through different stages in life, play multiple roles, that require different types of mentors, and at times more than one mentor for different parts of their life. Different mentors, with their own unique set of skills and mentoring expertise, can work with mentees to give them a well-rounded and multi-faceted mentoring environment.

This discussion is about collaboration and partnerships you need to build as a mentor with your peers to support your mentee in the best way possible.
