It's been 2 weeks since my work at MaaS Global ended due to bankruptcy. The company will forever hold a special place in my heart. It will not just be a line on my resume; it was a whirlwind of learning, growth, and most importantly, incredible people. Right from the start, a single theme kept bubbling up as I started reflecting on my experience: company culture. It was the invisible thread that stitched us together through thick and thin. Maybe it wasn't always perfect, maybe it wasn't always cultivated the ideal way, but it worked for us. We faced challenges head-on with grit and optimism, fostering a team that was strong, adaptable and embraced everyone. We had a "can-do" attitude, readily exploring new ideas that could take us back onto that growth curve. Even with the realization of a looming bankruptcy, we pushed forward, achieving much – but not enough in the end. But that never stopped us from maintaining the unwavering spirit that carried us through some turbulent waters, but every story has an end. My heart overflows with gratitude, especially towards the original People team. The trust I received from day one helped me become a part of this amazing team packed with passionate professionals. The countless stellar people I met fueled amazing discussions, and I walked away having learned a ton and feeling truly valued by the colleagues I'd go above and beyond for. A real win-win-win for my professional growth. Working at a visionary, groundbreaking, and industry-disruptive start-up is not a smooth ride or a walk in the park. Like a rollercoaster, it gives you sensations of happiness, excitement, and dizziness. But it’s still worth every moment. Now, it's time for a small breather (or a longer one - time will tell), so I have time to reflect on my experience and share more of my key learnings here. Also, if your company is looking for a hands-on people ops person who is not shy about stepping on a new rollercoaster - let's talk.

Bellyfire and the Power of Long-Term Vision !! Many aspire to achieve great things but falter when it comes to embracing the process. They seek overnight success, and with a fleeting result, their bellyfire the passion that drives them vanishes. If you're not prepared to adopt an infinite mindset, align with visionary, like-minded people, and patiently build something lasting, your journey may be short-lived. "True success requires collaboration, leaving a legacy for others to follow, and a strong foundation without which, growth is like building castles in the air." Lets draw inspiration from below nations and companies that have built and continue to grow strong, resilient teams driving their success: 1. People’s Action Party – Singapore: Since 1959, this party has led Singapore’s transformation from a developing nation into a global financial hub through relentless foresight and governance. 2. TATA Group: Founded over 150 years ago, TATA Group stands for ethical leadership, social responsibility, and excellence in industries like steel, automotive, and IT services. 3. Apple: From a garage startup to a global tech icon, Apple redefined industries through cutting-edge innovation, customer experience, and revolutionary product design. 4. Japan: A nation rebuilt from post-WWII devastation to become a global leader in technology, automobiles, and innovation, driven by resilience and ingenuity. 5. Samsung: Starting as a trading company, Samsung has become a global leader in electronics, shaping the future with its technological advancements and innovations. Remember: Let’s be real ,Great empires, great countries, and big companies are not built overnight. They’re certainly not built by a single individual either. It takes vision, collaboration, and a strong foundation to grow something lasting. Success is a journey, not a sprint. Are you ready to be part of the process? #GrowthMindset #Leadership #Teamwork #Bellyfire #SuccessJourney #LongTermVision #FoundationsOfSuccess

Understanding Your Teams: The Tourists, The Travelers, and The Settlers In my journey as an OD consultant, I’ve come to see how every organization is made up of different kinds of employees, each bringing unique value and perspective. Recently, I came across the analogy with a partner company that sparked some thoughtful conversations: our teams can often be seen as a blend of Tourists, Travelers, and Settlers. Tourists: They come for the highlights—the perks, the experiences, the quick wins. They’re often here for the good times but may move on when the journey gets rough. Travelers: These are the explorers among us, curious and adaptable, willing to dive deep and take on new challenges. They embrace the journey, but they may not be in it for the long haul. Settlers: The changemakers. They’re the ones who dig in, invest their time and energy, and work to make the organization their home. Settlers don’t just participate; they shape the culture and drive meaningful change. Each group contributes to the organization’s dynamic! This also helps us to reflect as leaders, to create environments where our Settlers feel empowered and valued. After all, they’re the ones turning workplaces into communities! #organizationdevelopment

Recent weeks have been a lot to take in. With constant travel, from heartfelt visits with our teams across the APAC region for CNY to an enriching trip to Thailand, not to mention the exhilarating official opening of Welbilt’s new customer experience centre in Singapore, there has just been no end to the activity! Each journey, each heart-to-heart conversation, has been an experience to remember. And herein lies the problem - We must make time to soak it all in. Not just in the moment but after the dust has settled and we’ve had a second to wrap our heads around it all. In these moments of reflection, I find the most impactful lessons. I can truly sit and digest the many insights gathered along the way, taking them from simple thoughts and ideas and turning them into clear and direct action. Reflection is a powerful tool. It allows us to internalise every lesson and every interaction and use them to fuel our growth. In the rapid pace of our lives, especially in a leadership role, it’s easy to move from one milestone to the next without truly absorbing the wealth of knowledge and understanding each brings. As I look ahead to more travels, more meetings, and the continuous journey of growth with Welbilt, I’m reminded of the importance of finding downtime - not just for rest but as a crucial practice in leadership and personal development. Here’s to embracing the pauses, the quiet moments that offer us the space to reflect, learn, and grow. #FandBEvents #Growth #Reflection #Welbilt
