I hope that by mentoring someone and sharing my story, I’m able to inspire and guide others in their personal and professional journeys. At 47 years old, I’ve been through two retrenchments, one mid-career change, one professional decision that I regretted and one transformative decision to take the chance to make a change, which all contributed in one way or another to who I am today. That one regretful decision sucked me into what seemed like a spiralling abyss. It took a lot of effort to get out of it. I have done so, and I’m in a much better place today. Throughout my life, I’ve had to live with my parents’ expectations, or rather, what I think are their expectations of me as the oldest, which then influenced my own expectations of myself. I’ve come to peace with it, and am today feeling more fulfilled because I focus more on the purposeful impact that I can make. I hope that my experiences will help my mentee gain clarity and confidence in their personal and professional lives.

"A leadership team that is committed to role-modelling the desired culture. People’s relentless quest for knowledge and growth. In this age of constant change and disruption, if your organization was missing any of the 2 ingredients, cross your fingers very hard that you have either a rock solid patent filed or monopoly of the business you are in!"

The statement above sums up my engagements with all clients whom I am privileged to work with; the discovery of the 2 critical ingredients highlighted. I founded CY Haberdashery in 2020 to focus on two critical elements in the area of leadership development practices; content curation (instead of creation) and impact measurement.

What is more rewarding than seeing people learn, develop, and grow, knowing I had a part in enabling their success? For more than 15 years, I have helped organizations translate their strategy into leadership behaviors, capabilities, and mindsets that allow their leaders to change and accelerate business impact.

Having lead the Leadership practice at BTS in Asia for some time, I continue to partner with them as an associate as I do believe in the transformation journey that BTS is on. We partner with clients to design and deliver powerful learning experiences for leaders across all levels in an organization. Context and experiential learning makes the difference in whether change will happen or not. This is naturally described by Neuroscience’s findings of how emotional circuits in our brains are best activated when we experience different moments. And, when learning is conducted over time, through learning journeys, a new habit is formed and change takes place.

Concurrently since 2020, inspired by friends around me who are all doing their bit in response to COVID-19, I responded to the invitation to be a volunteer as one of the founding members of i-Connect Health & Wellness sector, driven by CREST. It provides me an avenue to utilize my knowledge and experience to help innovative start-ups in the health and wellness sector commercialize their solutions, while advocating for collaboration between the government, the industry, the academics and the civil society.

Having lived in different countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Switzerland, throughout my career, the exposures have enabled me to better understand and connect leadership development practices in the various cultural context.
