It’s thanksgiving and we’d like to extend you, our reader, a heartfelt thank you for extending your trust and time in being part of our journey. May this thanksgiving season, you got the best of Black Friday deals, a beautiful vacation to spend your holidays, time to reflect on your 2024 journey and a list of your 2025 goals. Please do update in the comments if any of these wishes come true. 🤓
Here’s our update.
Executive Presence: The 3 Cs—Credibility, Confidence & Connection
Last month, we kicked off a 4-part workshop series for Thai delegates from a German-based oil & wax company. Through one-on-one interviews during the needs analysis, we discovered while the company’s culture leaned heavily toward one of the 3 Cs, the real need was to strengthen another—Connection.
To address this gap, we tailored the program agenda to focus on building and nurturing relationships. By the first workshop, we had the delegates’ buy-in, but it was during the second workshop that the group truly began to flourish.
This journey has been a powerful reminder of why building rapport with participants is so important. Luckily, this was a perfect opportunity for us to foster trust and create an ‘Experience’ for the delegates, instead of a one-time transaction feeling.
The leaderboard activity has been a major motivator for the group. Many participants are now actively completing assignments ahead of schedule to earn points, reflecting their growing enthusiasm and commitment.
Will update you how this journey unfolds at the end! 🚀
ONE Team, the NNWay
That’s how Novo Nordisk Nordisk makes teams work; the NovoNordiskWay! 🌟 Last week, we had the pleasure of working with a vibrant and curious group from the People & Organisation team.
Their mission? To better understand themselves and each other, with the ultimate goal to strengthen collaboration, and lay the foundation for a truly high-performing team.
Our challenge? Accomplishing this ambitious goal in just 3 hours! Add to that a room radiating with Sunshine Yellow energy, and we were in for an exciting ride. 😄
What made it all worthwhile were the practical action points the team identified, ready to be implemented right away. It’s a small yet significant first step toward their shared vision.
Here’s to more impactful journeys ahead! 🚀
Insights Live, Singapore
19 live events, one global stage. We joined the buzz in Singapore, where the spotlight was on building adaptability in our fast-changing digital world. It was so vividly clear,
no matter how advanced we get, people still crave that human connection.
The event brought together APAC leads, department heads, and HR managers from some of the biggest global brands. We heard some inspiring stories: ) 10,000 Alcon employees now have Insights profiles (hope I heard that right🫣), Schaeffler Academy is certifying 10 executives as Insights Client Practitioners, and DHL Supply Chainhas woven Insights into their leadership programs. Listening to these stories reassured our belief that Thailand needs to reap these benefits as well.
We met some ‘cool’ professionals, and Anna Williams was a standout host. If you’re in Singapore, don’t skip a stroll down Orchard Street in the evening; it feels magnificent.
🎄 G.O.D. Christmas Giveaway 🎁
This holiday season, we’re offering something truly special—the Gift of Discovery.

We know the real change-makers are the people out there working tirelessly to support others. This is our way of giving back and empowering those who make our communities stronger.
If you know a nonprofit that could use this gift to kick-start their new year, let us know.
Let’s make this season brighter for those who light up the lives of so many. 💫

Leadership & EI podcast 🎙️
American elections have reaffirm the value of long-form podcasts. We believe long-form content lends itself a form of authenticity and clarity of ideas that short-form content might lack.
Hence, we’re thrilled to announce our upcoming podcast series.
Once a month, we’ll sit down with local and international guests for open, conversational discussions on topics shaping the way we lead and connect. From leadership challenges to emotional intelligence in action, we’re gonna exchanging ideas that resonate deeply and inspire meaningful change.
Our first episode is going to be recorded and published on our social media platforms this month. 🤓
