What
do you think are your strongest traits?
Optimism
and Humour. I always like a good laugh, even just by myself, hahaha! Although it's not easy to be always optimistic, I try to reframe
my thoughts and find the good in everything. It's hard because, as humans, we are hard-wired to negativity bias, and that's why we have
to work harder and shut those negative receptors down.
How
has your career grown since starting at the company?
A
good answer will be by taking the proverbial corporate ladder. I was hired as a Front Desk Officer and later joined the HR Department. I
learned the ropes and progressed to being a part of the Management Team, but I would like to think that my growth comes from all the things I
have gone through and the support I got along the way. So by growing through what I go through, that is how my career has grown.
What do you like most about your job?
I
like making people happy, and I get to do that in my job. Working with people can be the hardest, but it can also be the most rewarding.
My sense of job satisfaction comes from knowing that people are happy, inspired, and motivated. A tall order that I constantly aspire to do.
What
is the best career lesson you've learned so far?
You
can't please everybody.We must make peace with what we can do, what’s most important thing is, we have the best intention.
What
do you like to do when you are not working?
I
like to spend time hanging out with family and friends, but with Covid, that has been difficult nowadays. But I have learned to enjoy
my own company, read books, go out for walks, or doing solo karaoke - it’s really fun, and I have the mic all to myself.
What
would you do (for a career) if you weren't doing this?
I
would probably be a pre-school teacher because I love kids.
What
is your usual source of inspiration when you tackle a difficult problem ahead?
Meditation
works wonders, and journaling does help a lot in tackling problems, be it processing emotions or helping with decision making.
Everything becomes clearer and more granular when you write it down.
What's a fun fact about you that many people may not know?
I
almost became a band singer, hahaha! I tried to do it as a side hustle while having a full-time job and realised quickly that I could not do
both, and neither can I choose singing as a career since. Well, for starters, I am not very good at it; I was just overly confident (a.k.a
thick-skinned). And all because you know, bills and responsibilities.
If
you could meet anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and why ?
I
would love to meet Dr. Wayne Dyer, he is one of the most inspirational spiritual teachers of our time. I have read most of his books and,
he has helped me a lot in my spiritual journey. I would be blessed to be able to meet him.
Three
words to best describe you.
Compassionate,
Loyal, and Adaptive.
If
you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Superhero
of Love; I will have a "love sabre", a magic wand or fairy dust of some sort to sprinkle love over anybody. So those who feel
down, unloved, or even the mean people will be filled with love. There is no more hate, just love. What a wonderful world that is.
What
is something that you could have told your younger self if you had the chance?
