What You Will Learn?
Focus Areas:
Career Self-Awareness: Build the habit of regularly checking in with yourself, not just about how you feel at work, but why. Learn to separate discomfort from true misalignment.
Feedback-Seeking Behaviour: Understand the power of asking for input, even when it’s uncomfortable. Use feedback as a compass, not a verdict.
Clarity Over Hype: Train your decision-making muscle to weight long-term growth over short-term excitement. Spot the difference between an opportunity and a distraction.
Derek's Story: Derek Toh, founder of Hiredly and a former corporate leader, shares his own turning points. From staying in roles he outgrew to chasing the wrong “dream job”, learn how a shift in mindset helped him redefine career clarity on his own terms.
Focus Areas:
Workplace Culture Awareness: Recognise that culture isn't set by HR, it's shaped daily by behaviours, conversations, and trust levels. Learn to observe and interpret the culture around you.
Behavioural Observation: Practise mapping out visible behaviours across your team. Notice patterns that reinforce or erode psychological safety and collaboration.
Values in Action: Discover how to distil team or organisational values into simple, actionable behaviours. Learn how fewer, lived values create stronger alignment.

Complementary Teaming: Identify how to surround yourself with collaborators who amplify your skills and balance your gaps, especially early in your career.
Nazir's Story: Nazir Razak draws on his experience leading one of Malaysia's largest banks to show how awareness, humility, and smart collaboration fuelled his journey (not just ambition). His path offers an inside view on what high-performing cultures reward and remember.
Focus Areas:
Strategic Networking: Shift your mindset from collecting contacts to building meaningful, reciprocal relationships. Learn how to stay top-of-mind without being transactional.
Feedback as Growth Fuel: Get better at inviting critique and absorbing it with humility. Learn how real growth happens when you stop guarding your ego.
Maintaining Connection: Understand how to keep your network warm through regular, authentic engagement; not just when you need something.
Tony's Story: Tony Fernades, founder of AirAsia, built his empire on relationships: from unlikely allies to grassroots collaborators. He shares how staying humble, asking questions, and staying connected helped him open doors across industries and borders.
Focus Areas:
Influence Through Storytelling: Use stories as bridges, especially when pitching complex or unconventional ideas. Make your message feel real, grounded, and relevant.
Audience-Centric Communication: Here, tailor your message based on who you’re speaking to. Learn to shift tone, language, and reference points to connect with different groups.
Ally Mapping: Identify who needs to be on your side to make your idea work; from decision-makers to informal influencers within your organisation.
