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?

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.

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.

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!

Feedback on the AIM/EnactUS event on Mentoring in the Social Sphere.

“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.
