The Power Dress Code of Men and Women at Work - Andrew Chow interviews Cindy Tien
Oct 19, 202000:34:04Tap to summarizeBusiness attire has changed significantly over the years, especially in the last 20 years. Too many people have forgotten why proper business attire is important. Some companies prefer to allow –and even encourage – employees to dress freely or casually for comfort. This tends to work well in more creative work environments. However, other companies will typically encourage and/or require a more defined and professional dress code to maintain a professional image of themselves and the business where employees routinely interact on a daily basis with prospects, clients and business partners. Conflicts arise when employees prefer to dress comfortably or in the most recent styles rather than realize the importance for them to present themselves in a more professional or conservative manner. The major reason why dressing in proper business attire is important for every business professional is because it presents a visual image and sends a message that the employees are professional.

Up Close and Personal with Janet Jung - Andrew Chow
Oct 15, 202000:20:51Tap to summarizeCOVID19 Pivot Live Session – 4 Speakers Panel – 7 Mins Each How COVID-19 put us back in the box And forced us to think in new ways about problem solving, unlearning and relearning Panellists: Mario Castagnetta, Janet Yung, Caleb Low and Boon Seong In 2020, we have all been forced to pivot for survival and success. We’ve faced many unknowns and self-doubt has been our lingering company. We’ve experienced a nearly instantaneous economic slowdown, which was triggered by the pandemic shutdown, and it’s wreaked havoc on businesses, large and small. The recipe for survival requires a thorough rethink and transformation of all we have done in the past, or we risk falling further behind or potentially, going out of business full-stop. But the reality of how entrepreneurs are dealing with the crisis and preparing for the recovery tells a different story. It’s a story of pivoting business models more conducive to short-term survival, along with long-term resilience, planning and growth. This panel discussion will throw the light on: How the COVID19 crisis has forced business owners to rethink everything, from management to business structure and revenue models How pivoting taught crucial key lessons in leveraging your community and capabilities, moving quickly and maximizing teamwork, partnerships, as well as collaborating effectively The transformation of how businesses run during COVID times and how leaders must lead Janet Yung – Author, Speaker, Consultant As a Standards of Leadership award winner with multi top sales and business awards in her corporate days in Johnson & Joshson, Janet is known for her thought leadership in bringing clarity to personal and organizational growth, leadership and engagement through her customized training and consultations. With 3 decades of corporate and business experience, other areas of strength include new business development and negotiations, new product launches, and business success. In the last decade, Janet pivoted her business model from a single brick and mortar revenue source to one with multiple revenue sources through e-commerce retail, digital products, royalties and the latest online platform models. Janet will share her lessons learnt, the model she utilizes to measure and improve her business/ product portfolios and the various digital revenue models in her session.

8 Ways to Raise Your Profile to become a Key Person of Influence - Andrew Chow
Oct 4, 202000:35:29Tap to summarizeSome people lamented that this wasn’t fair but it looks pretty tame in comparison to today where we see the top 8% of people in the economy earning 80% of the available income. I’s happening like this because in every industry there are three groups of people: Newbies: Just starting out and gaining their skills and talent. They are usually fuelled by enthusiasm to rise up and achieve big things in their industry although they lack the knowhow and training to deliver real value at this point. Worker-bees: They are great at what they do but often go under-recognised and unrewarded despite having value to offer. Often their enthusiasm starts to diminish as they spend years doing more mundane tasks than they are capable of. Due to advances in technology and outsourcing, these people have become more replaceable and even though they offer value, there’s plenty in supply. Key People of Influence: They earn more money, have more fun and attract more opportunity. They are seen as highly credible, visible and valuable in their niche. They have a renewed sense of vitality for their industry because they are involved in high-value activities like speaking, writing, creating new products and leading teams. The key people of influence in every industry are earning more money, having more fun and attracting more opportunity than ever before. Social media and other technology is opening up bigger markets to these influencers. No longer are they local heroes, at a click of a button their message goes global.
