  • No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work by Liz Fosslien

    No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work by Liz Fosslien
    Jan 18 2023
    We are emotional beings and this is what differentiates us and most of the time this makes or breaks how we perform a certain task. Which makes me remember what my superior told me in my previous workplace. He said that it’s not the work that is challenging but the people that make it challenging. I looked at him puzzled at that time, not saying anything back since I didn’t want to get shouted at or hit. But thinking about it now, it does make sense. What we will discuss today is a practical book for better managing the emotional side of work and building the skills needed to enhance performance to keep growing by managing the negative emotions and finding motivation when there seems to be none.

    Dare to Lead by Brene Brown
    Dec 21 2022
    We all at one point in time played leadership roles in our personal or professional lives. And maybe there is a high chance that we fell into one of the many leadership traps that exist in our modern culture today. Some of the common ones may be that we had to look strong and couldn’t admit a failure, or maybe we failed to tell the truth because we didn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings, or maybe we said something that offended someone when it wasn’t our intention. And these things happen more than often because there is an ideal leader portrayed in society. But the book that we will discuss today will dispel the common myths and misconceptions and show how true leadership should be through vulnerability, values, trust, and resilience.

  • The High 5 Habit by Mel Robbins

    The High 5 Habit by Mel Robbins
    Dec 14 2022
    I have been reflecting a lot on how my own culture affected who I am today. And being an asian, who has absorbed and studied different cultures, I realized that I deal with a huge amount of self-limiting beliefs that hinder me from doing a lot of things. And it seems like most asians - specially the ones that live in Southeast asia deal with this. So whether you are dealing with your own self limiting beliefs, or know someone struggling with self limiting beliefs, this discussion might be useful for you.

    Lead Yourself First by Raymond Kethledge and Michael Erwin
    Nov 30 2022
    I hear from a lot of people that they want to practice being servant leaders. As good as it is as a concept, most of the time, trying to practice this takes a toll on the leaders since in the process they tend to neglect themselves. And I have even talked to some leaders who feel guilty when they take the time or take care of themselves. And it happens to the best of us. I also experience this from time to time. This is why I always remember this book. It is a great reminder that I go through over and over again.

    The Invincible Company by Alexander Osterwalder
    Nov 2 2022

    The culture of hustling and working hard to find crazy new ideas has been the “in” thing because of all the startups and success stories out there. And this has been taking a toll on most companies. Think about it, how many times have we been told to innovate, or seek new markets? And maybe even we have caught ourselves saying the same. This in return also burns us, our peers, or even our employees in the long run. And makes the company forget why it exists in the first place. So what should we or the companies do to be successful? Here is a discussion exploring the secrets of successful companies that do better without “disrupting” or continuously seeking new markets.
