Resilience and Mindset: A Singapore Story Shared Abroad
Q: You’ve conducted training across the region. How does Singapore’s story show up in your international work?
A: I’ve conducted various courses and talks in Asia, such as Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand etc. In every session, I highlight the mindset of our early Singapore leaders.

It makes me proud as a Singaporean to carry this message abroad.

A: Singapore’s greatest strength lies in our mindset. It’s one of unwavering resilience—never giving up, even when the odds are stacked against us.

As a parent myself, I don’t just teach concepts—I live them. Whether it’s resilience, communication, or emotional management, I bring authenticity and lived experience to every session.
Q: How do you stay on top of your game in such a fast-evolving field?
