| My first 'Be At Your Best' program on 27&28 Aug 2016 |
Last weekend was a milestone achievement of a goal I set 8
years ago. Well, it started as a whisper, more of an idea after I went for
Asiaworks’ Basic awareness program in 2008. It was a mere idea that I wanted to
be an awareness trainer, that would make my life more meaningful …. but it was
only a passing idea.
It kept coming back at random moments but with no
significant impact. Then I continued with Asiaworks’ Leadership Program … and
LP 139’s vision was to create a 'Loving & Caring World, One Person at a Time. This
time the idea turned into a goal … but I had no idea how I was even going to
start.
I’ve set and achieved goals before. But this was different.
This was out of norm. On hindsight I was beginning to follow my heart. The goal
was not logical, even random and I had no clue where to start. You see, I was a
successful Finance Director who had financial success with a happy, comfy
lifestyle. Why throw it out for something so random? …. Oh and where to start?
But I set a goal … started thinking how do I do this? Then
nature offered a stepping stone. The company I was working for was acquired by
an American MNC and they offered me … me … a Regional HR Manager’s job … mmm… a
stepping stone … and I took it up with no experience nor knowledge of
professional HR. Oh boy it was a fun yet steep learning curve. Step 1 : People
skills acquired.
Then 2 years later the heart came knocking again … leave,
move … but where? So I quit my job
intending to setup a coaching company, again a vague idea with no real clue.
After some discussion, the VP counter offered and I moved into a Organization
Development role for Asia Pacific. Here was my first experience conducting
in-house training in a fun and effective manner. Then I discovered the term
'Culture Shaping' … changing the culture of the organisation by bringing
individuals back to the basics of being human. Step 2: training skills and
culture shaping idea.

Then again the heart comes .. leave, move … much stronger
this time … and I quit my high paying corporate job for an idea of a culture
shaping company. Then all hell broke loose and I was lost for 2 months …floating in limbo ... until
a friend dragged me into a goal setting workshop on 29th July 2013.
That day I met my mentor Elango Thiyagu and since then it has been a
roller-coaster ride of discovering myself and what culture shaping actually
meant.
In the past three years I’ve talked to hundreds of people,
feeding my subconscious mind. Learned marketing from ground zero ; from meeting
officers to CEOs. Meanwhile, getting aligned to the laws of nature, reprogramming
myself to my new goals, learning how to manage my emotions and thoughts. Doing
one day programs then rebranding and introducing the Be At Your Best program to
help people live happier lives, setting and achieving personal and company goals
while growing personally. My personal growth has been phenomenal and I’ve
reached a different level of happiness.

| 'Be At Your Best' Day 1 on 27 Aug 2016 |
Last weekend was a milestone achievement because I arrived
at my goal. I did a 2 days awareness program successfully. It made me reflect
on how when you listen to your heart and set your mind to it, the whole of nature
guides and helps you. On hindsight, nature guided step by step in getting the skills.
Then I met my mentor, who passed on the program to me, a program much better than
I have ever experienced and could have ever conceived … for free … he guided me
step by step, building both myself and the program along the way. I feel blessed! To top that I have an awesome support team, volunteering their time and effort for free ... giving their best! Again I feel
blessed!
