On Teaching, Learning & Growth

In Touch

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

All of us would have people around us that we learn from in our lives. And people whom we in turn teach and need to be accountable to at some point - as students, working adults or parents. The better we are at relating and leading others into growth, the better we become as individuals. In this issue, I hope we can draw some lessons and wisdom from these materials that can help us cultivate values and cultures that we want in our lives and lift us up.

Create a Growth Culture, Not a Performance-Obsessed One

In a competitive, complex, and volatile business environment, many C-Suite leaders are focused on how to build higher performance cultures. The irony is that building a culture focused on performance may not be the best, healthiest, or most sustainable way to fuel results. Instead, it may be more effective to focus on creating a culture of growth.

How Humility Makes Us Better, Saner Teachers

The pursuit of humility, once we properly understand the term, yields better relationships and faster growth. With that said, it makes great sense that we dig into humility in our continuing pursuit of better, saner teaching.

You are not alone if you think that financial matters are not getting simpler through the years, with crypto currencies to robo-advisors. I made a mistake to purchase a savings plan with the bank only to find out it was an endowment policy. Luckily James was here to guide me and understand what it was together with my colleagues. I’m confident James will be your biggest asset.
