In a busy world inundated with information overload, how do you communicate in a way that stands out, captures attention, and motivate action?

In this session, you will learn that it is a lot easier than you think when you realize just how the brain works. Using stories can help you stand out and capture attention, e.g., drive social media post engagement.

You will be able to engage your stakeholders emotionally, motivate willing actions, and move them to positive responses.
You will take away this skill set that has helped generate more sales and better business results for your effort.

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

“Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Man” is a phrase that has evolved over centuries to describe the observation that, often, the right leader emerges from the crowd to suit the challenge at hand.
Yet, clearly, it doesn’t always happen.
So what education, morality, and emotional intelligence give society the best chance to spawn good leaders when they are needed?
We explored the phenomenal changes that have occurred - even in the last six months - to what is needed in new leadership:
- The skills of managing people working from home, often part-time, unsupervised
- The pressure exerted by a pandemic raging through the world
Handling slippery supply chains that are whimsically upset by political decisions
- Rewarding a workforce getting daily offers of alternative jobs
- Making the disciplines of sustainability and diversity coexist with law and order
- Educating all employed people in technology, regulatory compliance, compatibility

Why are so many working harder but feeling less secure?

This session unpacks the economic shifts behind stagnant wages, rising inequality, and the growing pressure on workers in today’s fast-changing economy.

Explore how automation, AI, and shareholder primacy have reshaped income sustainability—and gain practical strategies to build financial resilience and long-term wellbeing in the new economy.

Although mentoring in the workplace has been there for a long time, the way it is structured is sometimes complicated.
Sometimes supervisors are required to be mentors and sometimes mentoring is really another word for managing performance.
What are the best ways to set up mentoring in the workplace?

“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.
