In my workshop, “Life Journey Options” participants will walk through their “journey options” via drawing, narrative and story telling. A highly interactive session, they will explore possibilities of what the future might hold for them.
For thousands of years, human beings have used drawing and story telling to share knowledge and tell stories of themselves or others. I find that in career conversations, they are able to relate their past experiences, identify possible actionable items, successes, articulate gaps, learnt lessons, potential derailers and the most important part – their career journey.
A powerful approach to an individual’s career management, I have used this to:
1) re-positioning a C-Suite from his corporate life to now an entrepreneur (finding his passion after being MSS-sed)
2) identify possible symptoms of sitting on a dyslexia spectrum for a junior manager (he struggles with his job)
3) support job search of a client who has specific niche skills and experience in O&G (she landed a fantastic job with above market salary).
I only have limited five (5) slots between now to end of the month. Please DM me for a confidential discussion.

Personal brand will happen – with or without your input.
When you are on a journey towards achieving that personal success in life, and the world is a busy place, personal branding communicates what you are to the world. It conveys the POV, adding on a different dimension on top of your resume. It carries brand promises and what you bring to the table.
Fresh graduates need to learn how to transit from the world they knew to a brand new world of work. Re branding themselves is crucial at this early career point.
For those who are exploring new opportunities, how would you present yourself to potential hiring managers that you have what it takes to perform?

I came up with this tips after spending some research, interacting and conducting private workshops on scammers since 2012. This post is dedicated to my young network who have been buzzing me with questions on how to detect fake profile. There is no hard and fast rule, some LinkedIn users are just not sure how to manage their profiles, and they might end up with empty profiles or saying the wrong thing during interaction. That is the caveat.
Always trust your gut feels when there are red flags.
1) Profile picture looks photoshop-ed. Too good looking and with a heart tugging theme – a great looking picture with a child, a dog, a cat.
2) They quickly request for an off-line chat
3) For some strange reasons, most scammers work as an engineer in oil and gas company (and don’t know what is upstream or downstream, or spell engineer). Some state they work for banks and is not aware that Citibank has rebranded to Citi years ago
4) Misspelling, bad grammar – ‘I work as a Lutnen Conel”.
5) They ask you what you do you do when your profile is pretty clear on that
6) They ask for money.
Happy networking, peeps!

“I hate my previous job. The boss shouts at me all the time. He allows his blue-eyed boy to come in late and gets great performance review every year. I hate it so much that I resigned. I wish I will get a better job than this crap. And I don’t care what other people say.”
This kind of posting has its place in Facebook, not in LinkedIn. And, you better lock down your profile as well and pray that potential hiring managers or future bosses do not discover your feed.
Still don’t give a sh*t?
Think again.
Unless you plan to retire and live like a hermit with plenty of resources to live on, your postings on social media will be there forever. In fact, your questionable posts and pictures might last longer than you are. Future employers will think twice about hiring you. Behaviour like that are not tolerated. If you had posted something unprofessional like that, chances are, you might do it again.
Pick your battle venue.
