🌟 Reflecting on My Journey 🌟 With nearly 12 years of experience across various roles and industries, from before my university graduation in Business Administration to today, I've had the chance to explore different fields, each adding unique insights and skills to my career. Through roles in sales, management, and call centers, I gained a wide perspective, but I truly found my calling in the due diligence and research field. Working as a business research analyst for the past 1.5 years, I've realized this area aligns perfectly with my personal and professional strengths, allowing me to leverage my analytical skills, attention to detail, and deep commitment to uncovering insights. The field of due diligence and research not only aligns with who I am but also demands the qualities I strive to embody—thoroughness, accuracy, and persistence. It's fulfilling to work in a domain that constantly challenges me to be my best and to ensure decisions are grounded in solid, reliable information. I’m excited for what’s ahead, knowing that I've found my career path in a field where I can thrive and make an impact. Here's to the journey ahead and the best that’s yet to come! #CareerJourney #ResearchAnalyst #DueDiligence #BusinessResearch #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment #AnalyticalMindset #PassionForResearch #CareerPath #ResearchProfessional #ExperienceMatters #TheBestIsYetToCome #PersonalGrowth #CareerGoals

Reflecting on our recent Business Analyst event, it was fantastic to have such a great turnout and enjoy meaningful connection time. A big thank you to Sophie Chen and the BA Career Group for another great collaboration! We are truly grateful to our esteemed panelists, Nathan Wallace, Robin Tucker, and Corey Marsland, for sharing your journeys and experiences. It was inspiring to learn from you about navigating current market challenges and focus on reclaiming control. I have found myself echoing some of the insights shared by our panel members, and I wanted to share a few key takeaways: ⚡ Be bold in reaching out to potential employers and be polished in highlighting your strengths and the value you offer. ⚡ Stay informed about current market trends and keep up to date on economic developments. ⚡ It's okay to take a temporary job to earn an income, aim for a role with transferable skills! An audience member asked how to maintain mental health while job hunting, a topic that frequently comes up in conversations I have. Here are the brilliant tips our panel shared: ⚡ Be structured and establish a daily routine. ⚡ Be proactive in learning a new skill, whether professionally or personally. ⚡ Do something normal! Like nipping out for a coffee or meeting a friend. Connections are more important than ever, so be courageous and put yourself out there. You have the power to create your own opportunities. A special thanks to Matthew Nauschutz for being an amazing co-host, when's our next event? 😉 Also, shout out to the catering company Catroux for the delicious platters and service, and GridAKL for being the perfect venue!

Hi there! 📣 I'm excited to share with you the launch of my new series, where I'll be sharing tips based on my personal & work experience, my own therapy and close observations of my colleagues' during the years that helped me advanced my career (and not only 🙂 ). #tips #career #personal #growth My Data journey started 7 years ago as Junior Reporting Analyst. All these years I've been developing new skills in both data and non-data areas, particularly focusing on my personal growth, challenging old beliefs, and overcoming mental barriers which resulted in 📈 advancing my career to Senior Data Engineer and in turning into a matured grown-up. #advance #career Today, I'd like to share with you the first tip 💡 that, I believe is essential for advancing the mental and emotional state within us as a solid ground for any further personal or career leader climbing. #mental #emotional #stability 📌 Stay grounded 🌍 Being grounded means to be aware of what surrounds you and to know the difference between what is real and what is not real, especially about your own personality👨🔧 👩🔧 Unfortunately, we rarely see ourselves as Who We Are because our thoughts, emotions and beliefs filters this reality. The differentiation (real vs unreal) is crucial for cultivating a healthy and realistic self-esteem. The latter is essential for managing the stress that accompanies the career growth, from one hand, and obstacles in your personal and working life, from the other hand. Having emotional and mental stability ⚖ will make you a preferred and trust-worthy leader in critical situations, particularly those involving clients whose projects and investments are vital for the company. Moreover, the ability to see the real picture will tremendously mitigate the risk of promising things to your clients/stakeholders that you can never achieve. #balance #reality #mentalstate 🔍 What to practice for grounding? 1️⃣ Sit on your pelvic bones, 2️⃣ Feel your feet firmly on the ground, 3️⃣ Keep your spine straight. 4️⃣ Inhale deeply, filling your lungs to capacity. 5️⃣ Exhale fully. * Repeat this for 5 minutes two times a day or more. This technique aims to: ✅ calm your mind by providing enough oxygen to your brain, ✅ make you trust your own steady feet which inevitably increases the trust in yourself, ✅ put your thoughts in order ( our mind can be very messy as you know), ✅ create new and empty paths in your brain that will help you see another perspective of the situations you are involved in, or just of your own actions. #technique #grounding #practice #mind #mindfulness Our brain works in a completely different mode when we have more oxygen. To obtain more oxygen, we have to breath deeply and continuously to use our lungs capacity, which in our busy life happens almost ... never? I hope the practice of this tip will be beneficial for you. Stay tuned for more!

I am a strong advocate of problem-solving as a fundamental life skill. I believe it's essential for everyone to develop and master it. In our Being Consultant WhatsApp group, we regularly tackle real-life issues from both personal and corporate contexts, challenging ourselves to find solutions. One such issue arose during a conversation with an ex-colleague about the Taiwan Earthquake-triggered semiconductor supply chain disruption. While discussing unrelated matters, he mentioned his involvement in addressing this specific issue with a client. I promptly shared it with our group ;) There are countless problems around us waiting to be solved; the key is to approach them methodically! #problemsolving #taiwanearthquake #semiconductor #beingconsultant
