Finding Peace in a Frantic House: A UNACOV Well-Being Fireside Chat
As 2020 comes close to a wrap, we looked back at how the COVID-19 situation has created a disruption in lives everywhere that we have never experienced before. “New norms” came one after another. When work-from-home measures first started, many wanted to go back to the workplace. Months later, 8 out of 10 then wished to stay at home (Straits Times, 11 Oct 2020) even as workplaces are reopening. School holidays descended upon us again and this not-so-new norm of having almost every family member in the house all day long will be here to stay.
While our family members may be our closest and dearest, the last few months have been trying times for most families. Many have felt either:
“I do not have space for myself”
or
“Everyone is getting in my way”
or
“Responsibilities seem endless.”
Personality differences, children’s misdemeanour, parental restrictions - everything got magnified. Our home, which we should be our Home Sweet Home, became at times a
FRANTIC HOUSE
Deriving insights from “Mindfulness – a practical guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World”, the life-changing bestseller by Prof Mark Williams and Danny Penman, mindfulness instructors Ming Hui, Charlene, and Khai Imm discussed how Finding Peace in a Frantic House, beginning from our own house.
In this session, participants:
* Gained an understanding and awareness of the workings of the mind that contribute to the franticity in their lives.
* Learned how mindfulness helps them bring awareness and to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.
* Learned simple mindful breathing exercises as a useful tool for daily use..

We may be entering a global depression. The future seems more uncertain than ever.
In this brave new world, entrepreneurship has been touted as a career of choice, and entrepreneurship has become one of the most pursued career choices globally. But is entrepreneurship for everyone? Could it be overrated as a career choice, glamorized by the media in “rags to riches” stories, an easy get rich path to money, fame and IPO? Does every entrepreneurial journey have a happy ending? Is there a dark side to entrepreneurship?

Redesign Your Life Through Clarity - UNACOV Career Webinar
Free preview
Synopsis
“Like a diamond, the more clarity we have, the more value we bring.” - Ruth Saw
The current world is changing so rapidly that it causes one to compare, compete or even get confused. How do we navigate life effectively through change and yet step into a fulfilling, satisfying life?
Clarity is key. It is the future of ‘personal authority’. Finding clarity has become a necessity, not a good-to-have. Just like shooting an arrow, we pull back to find clarity so that we can propel forward with speed. More than ever, we need to look within to find that clarity.
COVID-19 has given us this opportunity to settle and find the clarity we need, to create the future we want. Clarity will free us from comparing ourselves with others. It will help us to move past our doubts to step into our destiny.
In this webinar, you’ll find simple exercises to understand yourself and practical insights on finding clarity that leads to action.
Discover how to:
Know yourself, your possible strengths and blind-spots
Influence others just the way you are
Uncover your why
Create a clear path of action and maximise your time
Feel liberated and find the confidence to be who you are meant to be!

Learning Circle - It Takes a Village
“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.
