Mission

To enable others to develop our innate human capabilities so that together we can build a wiser, kinder world.

Principles I live by

  • Cultivating presence and the awareness to evaluate your perceptions, thoughts, beliefs and actions; how all of these aspects interdepend on the external world.

  • Putting the interests and needs of others before your own and at the same time not compromising your boundaries and capacity for compassion.

  • Accept responsibility not only for your success and happiness, but also your shortcomings and how you respond to situations, especially when shit happens.

  • See the bigger, holistic picture of things and embrace the connections within, without and beyond. Live in a place of learning, curiosity and wonder.

  • Life is short. Focus on what’s natural and necessary, play the infinite game and live life with a whole heart-mind.

What are you doing nowadays?

I’m currently on a sabbatical. Been learning a lot about sociocracy, design principles and Asian philosophies. I’m also building a open-access wiki which curates tools that can help people to navigate through life’s challenges and flourish in this VUCA world. More details coming soon.

What happened to your skincare start-up/business?

I’ve stopped sustaining enlg after selling and giving away the last batch of stock. Although I really loved the product development process and they are great products (I’m still using the All-Rounders), I don’t see myself pushing sales and manipulating people with pricing strategies in the long term. Not to mention putting myself in the lingering fear of producing waste from expiring stock (The retail industry is really screwed up.)
