Do you often find yourself setting the same New Year resolutions year after year simply because you didn't achieve them last year?

In the weeks leading to a new year, many of us optimistically set new year resolutions hoping to motivate ourselves towards new goals, routines, or habits.

However, in a short couple of weeks, we often find ourselves having trouble adhering to these resolutions. But what if you could learn a few simple tricks that could help you stick to and achieve those goals?


This is a workshop like no other where you will also learn :
- How to set effective goals
- Develop habits that stick, even in these pandemic times.

We are living in an increasingly VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) World. The pandemic that is sweeping the globe is just the latest example of the new normal. What started out as a health crisis has metamorphosed into a financial crisis. Many have lost their livelihoods as the economy has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. 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?


Entrepreneur as a career choice, is it... or not? Come find out for yourself…
Join Anuj Jain, Co-founder & CEO of Startup-O, Bernadette Cho, General Manager of Entrepreneur First (EF) Singapore, and Yen-Lu Chow, Co-founder of Asia Institute of Mentoring, serial entrepreneur, angel investor and social change maker, in a fireside chat to explore the topic of Entrepreneurship as a Career Choice.

More often than not, people get stressed out when deadlines loom and the mountain of work seems to be getting higher. However, contrary to popular belief: it’s never about the amount of work per se; the stress comes from a feeling of having lost control.

Stress can dampen staff morale, reduce productivity and lead to depression and anxiety. Yet we all need a certain degree of stress in order to achieve peak performance.

In this workshop, you will learn what are the four factors; Perspective, Autonomy, Connectiveness and Tone, that cause stress, and how to restore balance and turn that “stress” into positive energy to help you perform better and achieve greater success and happiness in life.

A video on the benefits of mentoring to partner with the article from http://learningyourdevelopment.com entitled Mentoring: A Win-Win-Win for Mentees, Mentors and Organisations at http://bit.ly/1gMMrBc

“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.
