Trainer, Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group
1) Why did you choose this profession and what do you love most about your job?
Actually I didn’t choose it as I never knew that such a profession existed. Heehee 
But that’s where the story begins…
I always believe in God’s timing, everything will be made beautiful! I graduated from Lasalle in Performing Arts, did some freelance performances, then I went on to work at an After-School care with young kids. All seemed random & unrelated then someone ask me if I was interested to go for an audition at Adam Khoo?? I did not see that coming at all! Thus I believe God already chose it that’s why this door of opportunity just opened for me. So amazingly I got through the audition and the moment I entered this door… Wow it begin to unleash the potential and talents within me that I never really knew of!!
What’s even better is that through this job I get to meet with different people from all walks of life and get to help, inspire & share a new ray of HOPE with them…Such a meaningful journey and these are the golden moments which I love the most about this job!!!!
2) What is your mission in Life?
To be a blessing to people and bring out the best in them!!
3) How do you create a work-life balance for yourself?
Oh!! I will make sure when I work, I will work hard.. but when I play, I will also play hard! Well for people who are more systematic, what I mean is: in my monthly planner- besides working, I’ll deliberately set aside time for my family/friends, church(time with God & myself), cook for my hubby, play a sport(fortnightly), etc.. (and I normally plan my schedule 3 months ahead in advance so that it will intentionally balance out my life) Lastly, it is to follow through my planned out schedules and MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Recently I heard this quote which I thought is a good sum up to a balanced life:
“It is not how well you can prioritize your schedule rather it is how well you schedule your priorities!”
4) How do you manage your emotions when you work with young kids who can be more than a handful?
Hmmmmmmm.. I’ll remind myself that I’m here to help them and will not let my emotions stand in their way from moving ahead! And personally I love Kids so I never see them as a handful. Instead, I recognize that behind every behavior there’s a crying need within them so I’ll take time to understand them and see how to meet this need or help them to experience a personal breakthrough.. So I’ll channel my emotions & energy in the correct direction and put it into good use! Yea….
5) What makes you happy?
“The happiest people in life are not those who have everything, rather are those who make the best use out of whatever they have!”
- When I can help someone through the storm and see a rainbow
- When I can be a shoulder for someone to cry on
- When my words of encouragement bring comfort to someone’s ears
- When someone tells me “I have made a difference to them!”
- When I see familes building sandcastles together
- When I get Hugggsss from my loved ones
- When I get to spend time with my loved ones especially during busy season
- Seeing my Hubby’s smile whenever he comes home (especially after I clean the whole house)
- COOKING for my Hubby and knowing he is WELL FED!
- CHOCOLATES!!!! CHOCOLATES!!! CHOCOLATES!!!
- Actually……… everything & everyone in my life makes me happy!! Thank God for each of them.. and you too Grace!!
