The Crazy Ones – Be a Leader [Video]

The Crazy Ones - Be a Leader

In Leaderonomics, it’s mandatory to be an actor from time to time. (check out the previous video I did with dmingthing) This particular video however put me in the spotlight, a soft spotlight too. Not sure if my colleagues do really feel this way about me or it’s just for acting’s sake. But it’s okay, I love you all!

Life At Leaderonomics: Things I admire about you…

At Leaderonomics, we have dedicated a session to teach one another with whatever expertise we have. So last Friday we were given a session by Eric Lau on Trust & Recognition.

At the end of the session we were all asked to answer a few questions in a card and present it to one another. This is what I got.

Things I admire about you!
a. Passion b. Cheerfulness C. Teachable/humble

Because…
a. Passionate about what you believe in & not ashamed to share it with the world. eg. YEP promo at STAR Edu fair, you engage ppl & make sure they hear you.
b. Always fun to be with, even in stressful situations. Your cheer spreads, esp at camps!
c. eg. When I tell you stuff at camps. You listen, although I’m younger than you . =P

First time on radio.

I was on the BFM radio this afternoon talking about YEP (Young Entrepreneurship Programme). It’s my first time doing a live radio interview. The last time I heard my voice over the radio was when I was 10. It was a recording of my first runner-up prize for interstate story telling competition. The only picture I could dig up is this.

Radio interview is far less intimidating compared to giving a speech on stage. Mainly because there ain’t a thousand pair of eyes staring at you. But I have to admit I was a bit nervous when Freda Liu said “We’ll be on air in 1 minute.” I can feel my stomach getting sucked in to create a black hole of it’s own. She announced again that there’s 30 seconds left. Luckily I was able to shake it off at the last 5 seconds that she was counting down. Below is how the session went. Don’t quite like it but it’s definitely a good experience.
