Hope for the unqualified... Recognised Prior Learning (New Straits Times, Malaysia)
Never before has it been so critical for the industry to work efficiently, quickly and error-free than now. The fast-changing technological and business environment as production methods and techniques have become increasingly automated and business becoming more globalised and competitive.
Shift your mindset towards success (New Straits Times, Malaysia)
A mindset is a belief reinforced by past experiences or values that set a person's thinking which then predetermines his or her responses or interpretations of situations that arise.
Work and the state of mind (The Star, Malaysia)
Mental health and well-being in the workplace has become increasingly important and is getting much more attention than before.
Tanggapan pertama sesingkat 7 saat (Utusan Malaysia)
Tidak dinafikan ramai yang tahu bahawa pentingnya tanggapan pertama, tetapi percayalah tidak ramai sebenarnya yang tahu bahawa ia berlaku dalam sesingkat 7 saat pertama sesuatu pertemuan.
Translating creativity into innovation (New Straits Times, Malaysia)
Companies are limited by external resources such as money, machines, materials, manpower and methods (the 5 "M"s). However, companies who train their people to think creatively can tap into a powerful and limitless resource creativity. Creative thinking brings great benefits to individuals as well as organisations.
