Today, I’m reminded of a simple but profound truth: number your days.

My Birthdays used to feel like checkpoints for ambition: endless energy, big dreams, and the belief that I could outrun time itself.
But with age (and hopefully grace), I’m learning a far deeper lesson — the reminder to “number my days, that I may gain a heart of wisdom.”

This year, that truth hit differently.

I’m reminded to recognise the brevity of life, to ask for divine help to live purposefully, and to make the most of each day — not in a frantic, hustle-culture way, but with intentionality.

To shift my priorities away from the trivial and towards what is truly significant, meaningful, and enduring.

Time is fleeting. It’s precious. And it’s not to be wasted on things that won’t matter in the long run.

As I celebrate today, I feel both joy and clarity — a renewed sense of purpose to invest my days wisely.

How about you? What will you choose to make count today?

📘 (Book Writing Journey- Day 3) Many people think writing a book starts with writing chapters. But the truth is—it starts with writing the outline.

An outline is like a blueprint. It gives structure to your ideas, connects the flow of thoughts and ensures that every story, lesson, or concept leads somewhere meaningful.

Without it, you can easily drift—writing pages of good ideas that don’t quite fit together.

When you create an outline, you’re not just listing chapters. You’re designing a journey for the reader. You’re mapping out how to move them from curiosity to clarity, from learning to transformation.

For me, starting with an outline helps me:
✅ Organise ideas clearly
✅ Identify the key messages that matter
✅ Write systematically, instead of randomly
✅ Stay focused on the purpose behind every chapter

This is how I’ve just begun writing my next book — DEEP Conversations, based on the solution-focused change model that has helped hundreds of teams and leaders achieve real results.

The first step is not to write… it’s to design the path.

✏️ PS: My first book was written 8 years ago and mostly written at night, after I put my kids to bed. Now I write with my teenage Josiah sitting behind me, who is sleeping a lot later at night.

💛 The Power of Appreciation in Leadership 💛

This is one of the largest numbers of post-it notes of appreciation I’ve received in a long time.

Each note wasn’t just ink on paper — it was a moment of connection, a reminder that someone noticed and cared.

✨ Appreciation is powerful.

It changes mindsets, attitudes and work ethics.

It lifts the energy in a room, strengthens collaboration and reminds people that their contributions truly matter.

Yet many leaders overlook it.

They think appreciation is “soft”. But in reality — it’s one of the most strategic tools you can use to shape culture.

When leaders intentionally practise appreciation:
🌱 People become more motivated and engaged.
💬 Teams communicate with openness and trust.
🚀 Performance improves — because people feel valued, not invisible.

A simple “thank you” can turn an average workday into an extraordinary one.

So here’s my challenge to leaders today 👇

Don’t underestimate the ripple effect of gratitude.

It costs nothing — but it changes everything.

🇸🇬 Sharing the Singapore Story with HR Leaders from the Maldives

It was a joy to spend time with the EXCO members of the Maldives Association of HR Professionals- MAHRP, exchanging perspectives on what makes Singapore Inc. truly unique.

I knew them for many years after delivering my opening keynote for the Maldives L&D Conference in 2019.

What sets Singapore apart isn’t just its rapid progress — it’s the principles behind it:

✅ A strong culture of meritocracy and accountability
✅ Long-term vision paired with pragmatic ex*****on
✅ Relentless investment in education, innovation and infrastructure
✅ Deep trust between government, businesses and people

These are not just national traits — they are lessons for global companies striving to build sustainable success.

When organisations embrace clarity of purpose, invest in people, and nurture trust, they create the foundation for excellence that lasts.

Ideas shape society, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to exchange ideas with leaders who are shaping the future of work in their nations.

🏅 A Proud Parenting Moment at ACS Barker!

Josiah wins a Distinction Prize at the Honours Award Ceremony in ACS Barker! 🎉

As parents, Janelle and I have always made a conscious decision to be present — to show up for our kids’ events, celebrations and milestones, no matter how small they may seem. Because being there matters.

It’s such a joy to see how Josiah is growing, learning, and taking on more responsibility with every step. Watching him mature reminds us that success is not only about the awards won, but the character built along the way.

So proud of you, Josiah — keep shining and growing in wisdom and purpose! 🌟

It’s official — I’m writing my next book. But this time, I’m doing it differently.

When I wrote Small Steps to Big Changes, it took me just two months of intense, focused writing. The outcome was rewarding, but the process was painful.

I wrote fast and pushed through every late night just to finish. I could only write at night, after putting my kids to bed. But writing at night was difficult. I was so tired and fell asleep on my MacBook many times.

Looking back, I realised something important — I didn’t give myself time to enjoy the journey.

This time, I’m giving myself FIVE months.

FIVE months to reflect deeply.
FIVE months to research meaningfully.
FIVE months to rediscover the joy of writing, not just the rush of completing.

The new book will centre on something very close to my heart — the DEEP Model™, a framework that my company has developed and registered. It has been used in countless organisations to drive real change, grounded in the solution-focused approach.

Over the years, I’ve seen more than 300 examples of tangible results from leaders and teams who applied the DEEP Model™. These are not just stories of improved performance — they are stories of mindset shifts, renewed hope, and people discovering their own ability to create change.

That’s why I believe it’s time to document this work — not as theory, but as lived experience.

The book will explore how the DEEP Model™ helps leaders have optimistic change conversations — the kind that transform frustration into focus, fear into courage, and resistance into momentum.

Because leadership today is not just about strategy — it’s about conversation.

And the right conversation can change everything.

As I embark on this writing journey, I’ll be sharing my reflections and progress here on social media.

Some days will be smooth. Others will be slow. But I’ve learned that growth doesn’t come from rushing — it comes from reflection, curiosity, and courage to stay the course.

If you’ve ever used the DEEP Model™ in your organisation — or if it has influenced the way you lead, coach, or facilitate change — I’d love to hear your story.

👉 Share it in the comments or message me directly. You might just be featured in the book.

Here’s to writing with purpose, leading with optimism, and taking small steps towards big changes — once again.

“Sixteen years later… and my team still remembers the program you ran.”

Those were the words that caught me off guard over lunch.

I was meeting Kwee Eng Leo from Philips again after all these years — same company, still leading her department, still passionate about her people.

As we chatted, I couldn’t help but marvel at how time changes everything… and yet, some things remain — like the impact of meaningful conversations and shared growth.

Catching up with clients over a meal isn’t just about food; it’s about listening deeply. Hearing their challenges, their hopes, and their vision for what’s next.

These are the moments that remind me why I do what I do.

When was the last time you had a conversation that lifted your spirit and made you excited about the future?

May your next one be filled with purpose, excitement, and joy.

The future of speaking isn’t about delivering talks — it’s about creating journeys.

That was the core message I shared at the Asia Professional Speakers Singapore meeting: how professional speakers can transform their offerings from one-off programmes into results-focused journeys that deliver lasting impact for clients.

It’s time to move beyond inspiring moments and start designing transformation.

Thank you, Tim Hamons, for capturing the essence of my talk so swiftly and succinctly.

Your visual summary reflects exactly what we need more of in our industry — clarity, creativity and client-centred thinking.

💡 Why do most speakers struggle to earn well?

Because too many only focus on speaking at events 🎤 … then rushing to find the next one. That model is rare, transactional and simply not sustainable.

After 18 years in this industry, here’s what my team and I have learnt: the real value (and revenue 💷) comes when you go beyond the keynote.

Here’s the progression I’ve seen work:
1️⃣ Keynote Speaking – A one-off engagement. Inspiring, yes, but you’re unlikely to be invited back quickly.

2️⃣ Develop Competencies – Train people to build skills so the keynote message actually works. This can earn up to 20x the keynote fee.

3️⃣ Implement Solutions – Support clients to apply what they’ve learnt and embed real change. This adds tremendous value because most people learn… but don’t apply.

👉 One keynote can lead to multiple engagements and sometimes 20x the original fee.

🚀 The lesson? Don’t just share ideas. Help clients develop competencies and implement solutions so they achieve results.

That’s where true impact – and sustainable income – lies.

Thank you Asia Professional Speakers Singapore, for engaging me to share ideas. Great to have shared the stage with Anna Ong who did a masterful session on her product funnel.

Why does leadership matter so much in creating commitment and alignment?

Because when leaders fall short, teams fragment. Disarray sets in. And the entire organisation pays the price.

Everything rises and falls on leadership.

Weak leadership weakens results.

But strong leadership inspires extraordinary resilience.

I’ve witnessed teams go through heaven and hell for a leader they trust.

That’s why I was delighted to accept Jochen Wirtz’s invitation to speak with his prestigious MBA students at NUS Business School.

I shared three essentials that leaders must master to build sustainable results:
1️⃣ Foster possibility thinking across the organisation.
2️⃣ Identify and amplify useful change.
3️⃣ Spark bottom-up momentum, not just top-down direction.

These weren’t just theories. They were reinforced with real-world case studies and proven outcomes.

If you want stronger results, invest in your leaders first. Their leverage is unmatched — not because of their titles, but because of the influence they carry.
