The Art of Negotiation: Do Not Burn Bridges Saying goodbye to your company can be hard when you have good experiences to share and cherish. Here are some green flags: 1. Good teamwork, where everyone shares the same mindset and provides unwavering support. 2. A manager who walks the talk, provides guidance, and holds confidential conversations. 3. A company that celebrates diversity and offers strong support. However, sometimes you need to seek new adventures and sort out your situation independently. In my case, things have been different. I was re-interviewed for the second time to join the company, and this time I’ll be joining the corporate client engagement team. I believe my talents are well-suited for corporate roles. My past experiences have shaped me into a more mature professional, capable of serving corporate clients who require attention to detail and negotiation skills to ensure mutual business success. It’s not just about pleasing the client or customer; it’s also about growing the company’s revenue and profit. My key takeaways for you: 1. A good attitude and high work ethic go a long way. 2. Do not burn bridges, especially in a small country like Malaysia, where everyone is interconnected. 3. Last but not least, make friends, not enemies. Do you still keep in touch with your former colleagues and managers? #linkedin #tourism #corporate #travel

You don’t want to lose a contract, promotion, or potential job opportunity because you are not culturally confident. You see others have way more on board than you, well you think they do. You know the reason why it is important to understand te ao Māori, te Tiriti and to be inclusive but you just never got around to it. Well not as much as you have wanted to. You have gotten by so far with ‘treat everyone with respect’. But now to be respectful is to know the culture of your clients so you can conduct yourself correctly. I know of a company in Ōtautahi Christchurch who lost an important contract in the North Island because they were not able to engage in expected protocol and therefore build the necessary relationship. Despite having received advice that it was necessary to know tikanga, they choose to ignore it. How many job adverts include the need to have, “an understanding of Te Ao Māori (the Māori world view) and its importance in Aotearoa / New Zealand or an understanding of the key concepts embodied within the Treaty of Waitangi and their application”? There is a reason for this. Culturally confident people and businesses are more successful in: attracting and retaining diverse talent customer relations engaging in collaboration decision making conflict resolution and more….. Are you ready yet to lean in? You will have more on board then you think. If you want to be culturally confident, DM me and we can have a chat. #cultural competency #cultural capability #learning Kia ora, I’m Lisa Heald. I help you to ‘cross the chasm’, turning cultural competence into capability. Walk with me to inspire and enable others to build strong cultures that respect our peoples.

During my international career, i had a chance to work in different countries and regions of the world: starting from Russia i moved to South East Asia to Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia. Today I’m in UAE, covering projects in Middle East, Africa and Asia again. It’s very interesting personal and professional journey, but how usually I start it for any new country in my life: - Deep interviews 2-3 hours each with local experts, who has proven record in setting up projects on the market; - Deep interviews 2-3 hours each with researchers/scientists, who have specialization on the country history, social , cultural and economic environment; - Mapping stakeholders in the country and understanding their connections/areas of interest/agenda; - Subscribing for main business/industry medias; - Recurring personal visits and talks, talks, talks;) For sure, I cannot count myself as an expert in any country’s landscape. But, for sure, it’s not needed - the goal is to understand, which information, how and with whom I can reach and how to align it with business needs. What are your first steps in a new country/industry? Please share with me, will definitely try!

Everyone should work face-to-face with the public at least once in their life. 😊 Although not everyone is born with perfect communication skills, working directly with the public is one of the most enriching and humbling experiences you can have. Whether it’s in hospitality, sales, or retail, interacting with people teaches you to: 1. Improve communication: You learn to listen, adapt, and be clear. 🗣️ 2. Increase empathy: Dealing with people of different temperaments strengthens our patience and understanding. 💖 3. Stay calm under pressure: Direct interactions teach us how to manage stress effectively. 😌 4. Develop problem-solving skills: In unexpected situations, we learn to find quick and effective solutions. 💡 5. Build resilience: Working with the public helps us handle rejection and criticism, learning to recover and improve. 💪 Although challenging, this experience is an excellent way to grow, improve, and connect with others. 🫂 #PersonalDevelopment #CustomerService #CommunicationSkills

True Networking : Relished my first coffee chat / career consultation with Fauzul, my new LinkedIn Connection on 15 October, 2024 at Richiamo Coffee, Sek 7, Shah Alam. He holds a Bachelor's of Business Administration - BBA of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. Currently, he's a Processing Executive with KONE, MNC. We deliberated the following topics : (1) A Permanent Position versus a Contract Position - roles & status quo. (2) Hopping jobs every 6 months versus every 2-3 years. (3) Shifting jobs within the same company with similar or different roles. (4) Personal Financial Planning : (4.1) Renting a home versus purchasing one. (4.2) Homes as assets or investments. (4.3) HOMO & YOLO (4.4) Financial freedom upon retirement or being miserable. (4.5) Purchasing an old Myvi as first car versus a brand new Honda Civic RS. (4.6) Portraying a lavish lifestyle, keeping up with trends, being fashionable. Looking forward to meet again in 2-3 months time.

Just Sharing Some Tips Today! Hey LinkedIn fam! 👋 Navigating career moves can be both exciting and challenging, especially when the big question comes up: "Are you willing to relocate?" 🤔 It's something that many of us might not have a ready answer for, so I thought I'd share a few tips on how to handle this question in an interview. 1️⃣ If you're open to it: "I'm happy here, but for the right opportunity, I'm ready to move! Flexibility is key, and I’m always up for a new adventure." This response shows that you’re adaptable and open to new experiences, which is a quality many employers appreciate. It also emphasizes that the opportunity itself is what matters most to you. 2️⃣ If you’re on the fence: "Relocating isn’t my first choice, but if the role is a great fit, I’m open to discussing it further." This approach gives you some room to negotiate. It shows that while you have a preference, you’re still willing to consider relocation if the job is truly aligned with your career goals. It’s a good way to keep the door open without fully committing. 3️⃣ If you’re not looking to move: "I’m really excited about this opportunity, but right now, I’m settled where I am. However, I’d love to explore remote work options if that's available." This answer is straightforward and honest. It lets the employer know that while relocation isn’t on the table for you, you’re still very interested in the role and willing to find alternative solutions, like remote work. I hope these tips help you feel more confident in your next interview! 😊 Remember, it’s all about how you present your preferences while keeping the conversation open and positive.

Are you stuck in your career that you don't like anymore and you don't know how to pivot? 🤔 My wife is a great example of career change. 1️⃣ She studied Psychology, got her Master’s Degree and worked as Counselor for 7 years. But she hated it! 2️⃣ Then, for our wedding in Bali 🏖, she loved researching the wedding gown of her dreams but couldn't find it in Singapore. She studied the market, found out there was a gap between offer & demand and decided to become an entrepreneur by creating a wedding gown shop. She cruzed for 5 years and went through covid like a boss. But in the end, she didn't like it anymore. Indeed, she realized that what she loved doing the most, was the Digital Marketing work that she was doing it all, by herself. She then took online classes and trainings, got certifications, highlighted it well on her job search documents and BOOM💥 3️⃣ Go multiple job interviews and job offers to become a Digital Marketing Manager today. *Nothing is impossible 💪🏻 *The difference between you and the others is your level of motivation, dedication & energy to achieve your career objectives 🎯✨️👏🏻 ----------- 💟 Hi, I'm Fred, I'm a passionate Career Coach and I love delivering value & strategic advices to job seekers and professionals to have an immediate impact on their career. 🔔 Follow me and register to my TalentFB newsletter for more free content. #jobsearch #jobsearchstrategy #careerstuck #careerclarity #careerchange

"I can't be a financial planner because I'm not talented." A recent conversation I had with a potential recruit had this line dropped on me. And you know what, it brings me back to when I was an agent the first time! I told our then Chief Operations, "I don't think sales is for me." And looking back, it makes me laugh. You see, doing something is never a skill issue. It has always been, and always will be, a mindset issue. Why? Because being in this industry for the last 6 years, I've seen amazing people that had a lot of potential to make it big in this industry; I'm talking about people with great interpersonal skills, wide network and charisma to match celebrities. But the same fate befell them: they QUIT. Is it because the market was "saturated" as many complain about? No, we only have a 20% penetration in the market. Is it because they lacked opportunity? No, we can see there were so much untapped opportunities. So why? It's because they mentally checked out. And soon physically checked out. So what they actually lacked, is the will to keep going; the Hustle, if you will. The believe that they can make a difference in #Brunei and the people here. And back to being talented? Alex Liew likes to say "Hard work will beat talent any day." To not just survive, but thrive, you just need qualities that don't cost you ANYTHING: 1. Grit, 2. Dreams, 3. Attitude to try, 4. Willingness to learn, 5. Wanting to make a difference If this sounds like you, and you feel you have "no talent", come to my career brief and see how BR-ALPs NK can train you to new heights within AIA Brunei (Branch of AIA Singapore).
