🌟 A Milestone Achieved! 🎓Graduating from the Wellington International Leadership Program (WILP) 🌟 I still remember sitting by the window of my hotel room during one of my first few days in New Zealand, overwhelmed with questions: "Will I meet the requirements? Can I manage this alongside my MBA? What if I can’t...?" Fast forward to the 28th of November 2024, and I am proud to say I did it. I successfully graduated from WILP—a journey of incredible learning, growth, and self-discovery. This achievement also makes me think of my father, my greatest inspiration—a leader and speaker whose empathy and people-centered approach I deeply admire. I am grateful to Rozina Khan, our dedicated program coordinator, for her constant encouragement and the opportunities she created for us to grow as leaders. Thank you, Victoria University of Wellington, for offering such an inspiring program as WILP. One standout experience was earning the Certificate of @Global Enterprise Experience, where I collaborated with an international team from Brazil, China, Nepal, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Nigeria to create a profitable venture supporting a UN Sustainable Development Goal 11. Managing the finance section taught me invaluable skills in financial analysis, project management, and virtual collaboration. WILP also introduced me to impactful initiatives like the Community Climate Training Programme, where I explored design thinking to develop a project reducing food waste in New Zealand schools—an inspiring step toward contributing to sustainability in our community. Beyond leadership development, WILP opened doors like my Virtual Internships at RizqX, where I applied my learning as a Finance & Investment Analyst to real-world challenges, gaining valuable insights that will guide me forward. WILP has been more than a program; it has been a transformative journey—teaching me leadership is about resilience, inclusion, and inspiring others. To everyone who supported me on this path—thank you. Here’s to embracing new challenges, forging meaningful connections, and continuing to grow! #Leadership #WILP #Gratitude #Graduation #Volunteering #Inspiration #Growth #Sustainability

Studying Organizational Innovation and Management Abroad: A Journey of Perspective and Possibility 🌍 As a student of Organizational Innovation and Management at KSU | Kazimiero Simonavičiaus universitetas, my experience studying abroad has been a journey of growth and discovery.

Never have I thought my first chapter of 20s will get celebrated by the acceptance congratulatory message from Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA) program held by Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Ministry of Education and Culture Republic of Indonesia). As a big dreamer myself, I always was the person who loves to grow and change constantly, no matter what the circumstances demand from me, for that is the principal rules within our lives as a fully living being. However, that ambition unconsciously turned me to grow scared. Terrified of changes, of lives, of the unknown paths, because I have to accept that to grow is not to only take up things that big and magnificent but also things that bent and ugly, such as failures. But given the chance to liberate my dreams, IISMA made me realize that courage takes time and space within the journey I choose to take. From the preparation alone, I learned to understand myself a little bit better, especially in taking control and managing things that refuse to go ‘my way.’ I embraced the flaws within my personal essays, asked critics and advices as I did my interview practices, and shaped myself for the better along the way, to finally maximize one of my purposes to start creating positive changes in my surroundings. Therefore, I am eager to continue the story I wrote and keep on building new chapters as an awardee at UCL (University College London) Institute of Education to learn better perspectives of changes that happen within society as well as myself. Cheers to the big dreamers and the silent battles we have to endure! Please keep on going and dreaming pass through the clouds even if you are doing it scared. For there 'no dream is too big, no dreamer too small.' 🌱 Last words, thank you to Kak Khosyi Torori for being such an inspiring mentor at IISMA-ACE Mentoring Session! Looking forward to share greater things ahead! #ToInclusivityAndBeyond #IISMA2024 #StudyAbroad #PersonalBranding

Every semester, I have the privilege of meeting the incredible minds in the Prasetya Mulya Strategic Class. This class is a dynamic mix of experts and invaluable individuals, each bringing a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge. In the photo above, you can see the vibrant energy and camaraderie that fills the room. From the enthusiastic smiles to the engaged expressions, it’s clear that this is a space where ideas flourish and connections are made. Each session is a testament to the power of collective intelligence and the beauty of shared learning experiences. Their questions are often deep, challenging, and push the boundaries of conventional thinking. It’s these tough questions that drive us to innovate and evolve. We thrive on critical thinking, which forces us to continuously challenge our ideas, refine our approaches, and ultimately create products that make a significant impact. Being part of this journey is not just about imparting knowledge; it’s about mutual growth. The dialogue and interactions in this class are a catalyst for new ideas and solutions. We are all on a journey of discovery and improvement, and I firmly believe that the connections we build today will shape our future in profound ways. A heartfelt thank you to Bu Indria Handoko, Ph.D. for consistently inviting me to this inspiring class. Your dedication to fostering an environment of learning and innovation is truly commendable. Looking forward to many more sessions filled with insightful discussions and groundbreaking ideas. Here’s to the future and the remarkable journey ahead! #connectedfuture #makeimpact #innovation #criticalthinking #learning #growth #PrasetyaMulya #StrategicClass #inspiration #collaboration #futureleaders

Is futures thinking the future? Has design thinking overstayed its welcome and is now passé? Well, I train and facilitate both for the last decade. Recently, conducted a futures scenario planning utilising Driving Forces DEck (developed by the Centre for Strategic Futures). Business students (BBA, MBA) from ATLAS ISMEMumbai role-played as business owners based in India, selling sneakers, reacting to drivers and wildcards randomly selected while researching on signals and trends that might affect this future persona. The initial feedback is that they enjoyed it, especially for the novelty of the subject matter and pedagogical approach. I’m genuinely happy to have made their first session in Singapore memorable. For those unfamiliar, Futures is about exploring multiple potential scenarios to anticipate and navigate challenges that might arise. It’s a way to think ahead, plan, and innovate strategically. I am happy to share more - maybe as future post or over coffee. Later this month, I’ll be incorporating Futures in two upcoming sessions: one with a local university and the other with a national federation of organisations. Design thinking isn’t going anywhere either—in fact, for one of these sessions, we’ll be merging Futures with Design Thinking in a mini-hackathon. Excited to see how these approaches continue to evolve and impact the way we solve problems and create value. Thanks Rishab Jain for the opportunity. Grateful to M. Ibnur Rashad (一诺) 🕊️ Social Technopreneur and Sustainability Inventor for your support at many of my futures sessions. Utsav Shroff, your students were amazing participants. And forever in debted to Prof Jawn Lim 林智兴 for being my futures guru and inspiration. Curious to hear who else in my awesome LinkedIn network is using Future Thinking! Some of you are clearly well ahead of me in this. #FutureThinking #shareyourexperience #Futurism #Storytelling ps: The session was held at Shaw Foundation Alumni House so we walked over to NUS Business School for the group photo.

When I first heard about the Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards held by Kementrian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan program from my lecturer, I was intrigued and decided to learn more about it. After conducting in-depth research, I became increasingly convinced that this program was a valuable opportunity—not only because of its prestige but also because of the potential it offered for personal and professional growth. This conviction ultimately motivated me to apply. However, the selection process was not easy. One of the biggest challenges I faced was during the interview stage, as I felt that communication was not my strong suit. During these challenging times, the support from my parents became an essential source of motivation. They kept encouraging me not to give up and to keep striving. To overcome my weakness in communication, I began studying diligently. I read various books on effective communication techniques and practiced directly with my lecturer. These efforts not only helped me improve my speaking skills but also built a stronger sense of confidence. When the day of the interview arrived, I felt prepared. All the hard work I had put in finally paid off when I received the news that I had passed the interview stage. Through this experience, I learned several valuable lessons: 1. Persistence is key to achieving your dreams. 2. Nothing is impossible as long as you strive wholeheartedly. 3. The importance of having friends who share the same enthusiasm because they can be an incredible source of inspiration and motivation. This experience taught me that with hard work and the right support, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve our goals. Now, with IISMA 2024, I am excited to continue my journey as an awardee at Yuan-Ze University, Taiwan. This opportunity represents not just an academic milestone but also a chance to grow personally and professionally on an international stage. The lessons I’ve learned throughout this journey—about persistence, effective communication, and the importance of a supportive community—have prepared me for the challenges and opportunities ahead. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me, especially Gauraviti Pracheta, for the invaluable lessons on personal branding. These insights have shaped my path and will continue to guide me as I embark on this new chapter in Taiwan. I look forward to applying everything I’ve learned and making the most of this incredible experience. #ToInvinityandBeyond #IISMA2024 #StudyAbroad #PersonalBranding
