Mindfulness: a nice to have; or an essential life tool?
I made an assumption that since I lived in Asia, those around me would have a good grasp of what mindfulness was. After all, it did originate from this continent. I assumed wrongly. Singapore is a multicultural, vibrant place that encourages innovation and professional development and because of this, there is a strong community of start-ups and innovation lead companies – producing one of the world’s stronger economies. Like all educated societies, the emphasis has been on o

How valuable is that last 10%?
Just about everyone, including the intern, can perform the first 80% of any job assigned to them. That’s the easy part. (And it’s entry-level table stakes by the way.) Think of painting a large wall. A relative novice can cover most of the middle section in paint adequately. Most people can and could go even to the next 10%. But many choose not to. But the next and final 10% of any job from 90-100% becomes increasingly -- maybe exponentially in some cases -- harder. More deta

Do you want to be more focused & productive at work?
One of the biggest challenges for professionals is remaining focused and productive in a fast paced environment. Some days, it can be relentless! With a constant flow of emails, meetings, requests it's like a machine gun coming at you. And that's without any setbacks or problems that occur along the way! All of these things give you little time to actually deliver any work! In an interview with WellteqI shared a way to remain focused even in adverse situations. Click here to

Are you afraid of Failure or are you...
Ever been afraid to step boldly forward on something that you know would bring you success? BUT because success is never guaranteed, your fear kicked in to stop you. Here's the thing, it's not always the fear of failure that stops you. There is also such a thing as fear to succeed! I know, it sounds so counter-intuitive, right? Listen to Celebrity Author, Zai Miztiq talk about exactly this as she's experienced it first hand! Successful people are successful, not because they

What do Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein and Mark Zuckerberg have in common?
Possibly a few things way beyond us mere mortals. But the answer I'm looking for is ... [drum roll please] ... They all wore the same clothes everyday. Think about it. Steve Jobs: black Issey Miyake turtleneck sweaters, blue Levi's jeans, and New Balance sneakers. Mark Zuckerberg: grey T-shirt, blue Levi's jeans, black Nike sneakers. Einstein: grey suit. Now Jobs actually had 100 of those turtlenecks hanging in his Californian closet, and Zuck has at least 20 identical grey t

Do You Want Awesome Senses Like Superman!
This is an excerpt from CNN news on the AirAsia QZ8501 crash. In the AirAsia disaster, the system that regulates the plane's rudder movement kept malfunctioning because of a cracked solder joint. Aircraft maintenance records found it had malfunctioned 23 times in the year before the crash, and the interval between those incidents became shorter in the three months prior to the crash, Indonesia's National Transport Safety Committee said in a report. "Subsequent flight crew act

Add this One Word to Your Life to Create
Your Destiny!
The bible has many verses revealing about our true identity in relation to God in the form of metaphors. Here are some of them: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple. Galatians 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Who

Will you use KODAK film to take your daily pictures today?
Do you like average results or above average results? If you like to have above average results then read on and ask yourself these questions. • Do you feel that your current employee training in sales or leadership development is not having significant effect on your sales or the business? • Did it motivate them to sell more or do more?

How to Make Your Customer Feel You’re A Close Friend In 3 Minutes?
We were launching a new product 3 in 1 coffee sachet, a fighting brand to counter the new product launched by our major competitor. Because we were the market leader with more than 60% share, the competition came out swinging. They got several popular artists to endorse their brand. In just 2- months they were available in supermarkets, hypermarkets, most “sari-sari” stores (they call it “warung” in Indonesia). I estimated they had a coverage of 250,000 outlets in 2 months. T

How to Default Your Mind to be Always Positive?
“The quality of our life is determined by moment-to-moment state of our emotions.” -Anthony Robbins True story taken from a Florida newspaper: A man, after fighting with his wife, decided to work on his motorcycle on his patio to clear his head. His wife was in the house in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle and somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The man, still holding the handlebars, was dragged through a glass patio door and along with the

Winners Have a Bias for Action
Be 100% Responsible for Your Life When Gabby, my first-born, came home from the hospital, I cradled him in my arms and danced for joy with my wife by my side. I was all smiles, as he came out a normal and healthy baby. In stark contrast, Nicolas “Nick” James Vujicic was born on December 4, 1982 and as he shared, the first reaction of his mother when she saw him was: “Take him away” Nevertheless, his parents came to their senses and took care of him. Nick Vujicic was born in M

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF TYPOS AND HOW WE CAN DEAL WITH IT?
This was shared to us by our editing mentor and I felt that this will be worth sharing and would resonate with most of our clients. With so many tasks, sometimes we tend to ignore editing when we send emails or share articles, even I am guilty of this... I remembered a post from my life coach on the wrong spelling & how she had reacted to that. In the professional world, people tend to be more critical on this and might have some cost implications to our business. WHAT ARE TY

How To Become A Genius In Your Field Of Business
Willpower/self-control is the ability to act the way you want to act when you find yourself in challenging situations. Take for instance a counselor who is handling anger, shouting and insults from patients. The normal human response to someone shouting is to fight back, be angry or run away. When counselor have been trained in staying calm, they have the "self-control" to do their job professionally with virtually no return of anger.
Because the mind "goes back-brain" (int
