品牌出海 How can Chinese brands truly globalise? In 2023, 142 Chinese companies made it to the Fortune 500, representing over a third of the world's top firms based on yearly revenue. Yet, in striking contrast, only 14 of these companies appear on Kantar’s 2023 "BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands List. This disparity highlights the challenges Chinese brands face in developing a solid global brand identity. It raises a crucial question: despite expanding operations abroad, can our brands truly globalise? I have an engaging conversations with Milton Liao Scotty Ho Jiao Song on this topic.

Working as the APAC digital media specialist since the past 4 years has been an enriching experience, immersing me in the diverse tapestry of cultures within the region. Engaging with talented professionals from various communities and countries has underscored the significance of cultural sensitivity in fostering effective collaboration and building relationships which go beyond work life. Understanding and respecting cultural nuances is pivotal in navigating the intricate dynamics of a diverse region. It not only promotes open communication but also facilitates the creation of content that resonates with different audiences. Cultural sensitivity serves as a bridge, fostering mutual respect and trust. It enables me to tailor digital media strategies to align with specific cultural preferences, ensuring that content is not only relevant but also respectful of local values. This approach enhances engagement and strengthens professional relationships, making it a cornerstone in navigating the intricate landscape of the APAC region. In a world where global connectivity is paramount, cultural sensitivity is not just a virtue; it's a strategic imperative for anyone working in a diverse professional setting. #APACCultureBlend #digitalharmony #globalconnectivity #tgif Photo from my recent Philippines trip; we do look at the same sky :)

We visited the #Singapore Sports Museum at the Singapore Sports Hub for the first time last week. It's a great place that showcases all the Singapore sporting legends! 🇸🇬 This sign caught my eye and got me reflecting... What's my dream venue to learn and connect with others? My answer: 🌴wide open green spaces 🌊near water - the sound of the sea preferably 🚶♀️a track or path easily accessible to walk through 🧘some seating options - a bench, or flat grass areas This is the dream, and I have realized this dream through facilitating workshops at the beautiful Fort Canning Park and hosting my Walk & Talk community at different parks around Singapore. 🙏 However, it's not always possible to work at your dream venue and we need to go indoors. There is one factor that has an enormous impact on the energy in the space and the level at which participants can maintain concentration and engagement. What is this one factor do you think? 👉 Please write your guesses in the comments and I'll let you know the answer by Monday next week! 🦋 Hey, I'm Lisa, a communication skills specialist and podcast host based in sunny Singapore 🇸🇬 - whether online, in-person, or during a nature walk. 🌴 Enjoyed this post?
