#founderdiaries #OMLAS #onemillionleadership Becoming the change I've always aspired to see in the world is my first step towards progress. While I acknowledge that my contributions may seem like mere drops in the vast ocean of global challenges, I remain unwavering in my commitment to pursuing my dreams until I reach a level where I can effect substantial change. What fills me with immense pride is my involvement in Skillistan, an innovative project dedicated to empowering the youth with essential skills for a sustainable and prosperous future. Skillistan's holistic approach, which includes sustainability skills, income-generating abilities, and 21st-century competencies, resonates deeply with my own aspirations. Through this transformative journey of skill development and youth empowerment, Skillistan aims to cultivate a culture of lifelong learning and collaboration, equipping young individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to drive positive change in their communities. My involvement in Skillistan is a source of great joy and fulfillment, as I work alongside passionate individuals to contribute meaningfully to a brighter future.

Participating in the Asian Young Leaders for Climate and the Environment (AYLCE) program by Common Purpose left me inspired by the remarkable efforts of #earthshotprize Finalists. Reflecting on the global climate action mobilization was truly thought-provoking. AYLCE involved impactful leadership and climate storytelling masterclasses, providing insights from companies leading innovative climate solutions. Thanks to partners like The Earthshot Prize, Temasek Foundation, and American Express, we engaged in Fireside Chats with industry leaders and attended workshops by Bloomberg, Singapore Global Network, and Honour Singapore. A standout lesson was understanding that driving widespread climate action is achievable by reshaping current incentive structures. It's crucial to find common ground and collaborate. If institutions can incentivize green efforts through innovative mechanisms, like reframing performance indicators, maintaining the status quo becomes less appealing. Special thanks to the incredible Common Purpose team for their unwavering support. Let's give Earth our best shot! 🌍 #ClimateAction #Leadership #AYLCE

Spent a meaningful and engaging day with participants of the Maritime Leadership Programme - a senior management learning journey jointly launched by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and SMU-ExD Executive Development. To address key issues facing the maritime sector - such as reduced global trade, climate change regulations, cyberattacks and piracy, and talent shortage - developing an innovative culture is key. It is not just about short-term survival, but about long-term thriving. Privileged also to glean insights and nuggets of wisdom from Andrew Tan, on the need to future-proof the sector through a well-calibrated approach to innovation.

Leadership: the importance of trust In the Universitetet i Stavanger (UiS) master's course 'Leadership Challenges' students facilitate a co-creation process of defining their own leadership challenges and solutions. Today, Learning Team 2 delivered the self-defined lecture 'Leadership: the importance of trust '. For more information on our Master in Service Leadership in International Business, see https://lnkd.in/d8stNbih PS Our Erasmus students' contribution is invaluable. Unfortunately, we have lost many of our international students thanks to short-sighted government policies. Less international students in the classroom results in an inferior learning journey for our Norwegian students. Simples... Kunnskapsdepartementet Kari Nessa Nordtun Khrono

Goal serves as a regulator of action. In living organisms goal-directed action is seldom conscious and it is evident in the wild when animals stalk to take on their prey. The survival of living organisms is conditional. In order to maintain its existence, every living organism must take on specific actions to fulfil its needs. If it does not, it dies. I am happy to share that I will be speaking on the topic GOAL SETTING in a Career Growth Masterclass organized by Africa Impact Alliance Leadership Institute (AIALI). #goalsetting2023 #leadership #learning
