This cover caught my eye in the airport bookshop recently as I raced for my next flight ... (Being late for a flight doesn't mean there's not time to stop at a bookshop, of course.) So I flicked through it to see if it was worth buying. Short answer: yes. I haven't read it fully yet but what I thought was interesting was a list called Top Lessons to Lead By ... The top one is: “To tell great stories, you need great talent.” And the next one is: “Now more than ever, innovate o

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

​What is it that successful people know that you don't? Ever wondered that? I did! For many years. People seemingly no smarter were getting much further ahead and succeeding at a much faster rate in their careers. What did it come down to? Luck? Some secret piece of knowledge? I share with WomenLines what I learnt that answered this for me and changed everything!

I rode over 2200km last week to Buriram, in the remote reaches of eastern Thailand, to watch the MotoGP for the first time. I was expecting to learn and write about speed as a competitive weapon in your business. Instead, I find myself writing about managing fear of failure. This was triggered by t

​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

​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

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

​Most people know how important sales is to the success of any business. That's why it is critical that the business owner and his/her team understand the importance of bringing in the sales and making the necessary plans and action early on in the business. I always remember in all the training and mentorship classes that we attend with our business mentor, he would always remind us to focus on sales.
