  • Private Online Event on 20 October 10am to 11am: Understanding the Language of Business

    Private Online Event on 20 October 10am to 11am: Understanding the Language of Business

    Decisions made at every level of a business everyday impact its financial position and well-being. Understanding the principles that underpin every business – whether your own business, your employer or your competitor – empowers you to maximize your value as a professional.

    Yet many non-finance professionals hesitate when presented with financial reports and accounting jargon, contribute to the workplace financial conversation in a limited way; and stay quiet in meetings where you might otherwise contribute.

    This one-hour session introduces fundamental understanding of finance and business using the workshop is based on the Color Accounting Learning System™, the globally-acclaimed approach for effectively building accounting and financial literacy. You will leave with tools and a grasp of business finance that will pay dividends throughout your career, as a non-finance professional.

    In this session we will explore:
    –  Foundations of business acumen
    –  Interpreting the balance sheet
    –  Deriving the income statement
    –  Telling a business story

    What People Say
    The Color Accounting Learning System “approach has the advantage of showing how it works visually. We all tend to see problems and relationships more easily visually, so the approach takes advantage of how we learn most effectively.”

    – Paul Healy, James R. Williston Professor of Business Administration Harvard Business School

  • Private Online Event on 18 March 2021 4.30pm to 5.30pm: How Tough are You Mentally?

    Private Online Event on 18 March 2021 4.30pm to 5.30pm: How Tough are You Mentally?

    You have a business presentation tomorrow morning. You are not preparing for it as you have another 2 reports due today. You are also replying your email to a bad customer review. Your child was just warded in the hospital with a high fever 2 days ago. You just had a big fight with your spouse today. Your world is falling apart …

    Can you still present (well) tomorrow morning? That depends, on your mental toughness. Interestingly, it is possible to measure how tough you are mentally through a Mental Toughness Profile (MTP) assessment. The good news is Mental Toughness can be developed, just like muscles. You can train yourself to be mentally tough to prepare for the challenges ahead of you.

    This month, we are bringing you more insights into this subject. Join us for a 60 minutes dialogue with Edgar Tham, the founder for Mental Toughness Research Institute, USA.

    You might be on time to pick up a couple of tips to prepare yourself for the challenging times in 2021!

    With many vaccines approaching the final stages of testing, we might indeed be moving towards a day when Covid is no longer a threat to us. But…

    More importantly…

    • How will these new business norms impact the workplace?
    • What new skills or mindsets must we equipped the team with?

    How can we prepare them for the challenges ahead? Join our team of subject matter experts for a candid discussion as we brace ourselves for another roller coaster ride in 2021!

  • Online Event: Preparing Your Team For Post Covid Recession

    Online Event: Preparing Your Team For Post Covid Recession

    We are into the 2nd month of the Circuit Breaker. Tomorrow some of us will go back to work and many are already looking forward to going back to the “good old days” in June 2020.

    Unfortunately, we won’t.

    Social distancing and WFH will stay, at least for a while. Restaurants will open for takeaways only. Just look at New Zealand and Korea. Some things will never be the same again.

    That’s why we are maintaining the momentum to bring you more and better virtual training, so that your colleagues can continue to learn, anytime, anywhere. We have added new topics and content in the areas of negotiation and business acumen. Reply to this email to receive the updated list of workshops from us.

    We are putting together again another short overview this month.

We have designed a series of virtual live Lunch & Learn topics to address the new challenges organization and employees are facing due to the impact of Covid-19.

  • A reflection on your 2018 training initiative: 3 ways your organisation could have gotten a better Return On Investment (ROI) for your training dollars.

    Yes, every training program is a huge investment from the organisation – not just monetary but also in terms of time and energy from all the stakeholders and participants.

    How do you ensure you get the best bet for your training dollars? Let’s bear in mind that the objective of training is to impact the participants. Many HR and L&D professionals invest hours to review the trainer’s and training company’s profile, as well as the course content before the workshops…. But what else?

    Here are 3 additional ways to ensure training impact on your participants:

    A) Before the training: this is the best opportunity to make sure we get it right. All 3 parties (trainer, HR /L&D and immediate supervisor of the participants) must work together to give the participants a good start with the right attitude and expectations for what is coming. Participants must create their learning goals with the support of the team. What is the objective of the programme? What do we want to achieve at the end of it? How do we measure the success of the programme?

    B) After the training – debrief and follow up: this is equally important to

    * check in on the (action) plans that were crystallised during the training or workshops, what is the next step and has it been completed?

    ** close the gap and resolve any issues or questions during the application of the learnings.

    C) Support from immediate supervisor

    In the process of applying anything new, most participants experience the learning dip – initial applications’ results are often worse than before training. That’s when we need the supervisors to encourage and support the participants so that they persist and continue to practice their new learning.
