I recently had the opportunity to speak about a work event live on MONEY FM 89.3.  Being that it was my first time, I had prepared the salient points of my delivery and was confident in my ability to convey them. What I wasn’t ready for was the conversational nature of this interview.  See, a conversation (especially amongst four people from different industries) is different to delivering a speech. Within this short ten-minute engagement, I found myself mentally scrambling to contextualise the points I wanted to land within the backdrop of the programme.  How would I answer the host's question in a way that ensured a (1) seamless flow within the four parties whilst (2) landing the key points I needed to as a representative of my organisation? Often-times when it comes to a conversation, we’re not so much listening as we are waiting our turn to speak.  This happens many times to even the most seasoned of business leaders - we’re so used to delivering an address we forget how to create an engagement. This is understandable.  As leaders we are often expected to chart direction, critique output and provide approval.  All of this is one-way communication.  Often instructional and at times, transactional. That’s not how a conversation works.  A conversation is a delicate dance between people who have decided to be in the same room but haven’t agreed on a choreography.  It’s not a marionette moving its limbs at the behest of whoever holds the strings. Now, I often joke that my husband is too quick to provide a solution when all I want is a listening ear.  I’m by no means a believer in gender-stereotyping but a quick poll of the ladies might well support this hunch.  We want to be danced with, not told where to place our feet! So, here’s a not-so-pro-tip for navigating your next interview or panel discussion.  Have your main agenda written in point, on a post-it, in a way that you can check off.  Assign 30% of your mental resources to managing this.  The other 70% goes towards what I call “active listening” - getting under the skin of what your fellow panelists are saying and making a conscious effort to address their queries and views in a way that seamlessly delivers those agenda points you’ve listed out. It sounds logical in theory but is actually quite difficult in execution because the outcome of such an engagement rest entirely on this unspoken common understanding, the organic choreography that distinguishes interaction from instruction. When was the last time you had a conversation? 🙋♀️ Glenn van Zutphen (Founder, CEO) Neil Humphreys david chew Samsung Electronics Singapore National Heritage Board

Upon learning of the opportunity for my family's business to collaborate with the local government in 泉州 to rekindle and foster bonds through our business offerings, I realised that it must transcend mere economic benefits. When I proposed the idea of showcasing our offerings in China to my in-laws (Dance Ensemble Singapore, 新加坡聚舞坊), I anticipated that it would serve as a gateway to numerous future opportunities for us to not only strengthen bilateral relations, but also to establish long-term partnerships. What I hadn't anticipated was the rapid expansion of this venture, extending beyond 泉州 to garner interest from across China in our cultural and artistic scene. The potential is truly remarkable. Given the constraints of limited resources and team capacity, it took slightly over a year for us to negotiate terms and conditions and ultimately execute the initial phase of our venture. This marks the beginning of our journey towards fostering a sustainable future of growth, extending beyond our individual capabilities. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported us on this journey thus far. Hopefully, in the near future, we will be able to unveil more about what lies ahead. I eagerly await the opportunity to witness how our Little-Red-Dot can serve as a conduit to fortify our ASEAN identity, and to collaborate and grow with like-minded individuals who share our vision of advancing capabilities beyond mere economic prosperity. #ComeJoinUs #WhenWeAreTogether 晋江市融媒体中心, 2024-03

#economics I love the gleaming newness and the apparent cleanliness of the cities, Alvin Foo, as many US Olympians also found China to be at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. I found Japan to be similar in 1992, when I lived there for a whole summer. I have never visited China. Both my adult children did when they were in middle school many years ago as part of a school trip and know a bit of Chinese, if they have not forgotten it since. Among the oldest of the old worlds, China, is constantly renewing itself, while America, the new world is getting old. I want you to listen to a song: Spotify, The Heart of Rock and Roll, Huey Lewis, https://lnkd.in/eBXrgrkk. Is there a similar song in Chinese for all these new Chinese cities? I love the infrastructure but I do not like that China is the world’s largest polluter. I know Shanghai is an incubation zone for free market experimentation but China should see Hong Kong as an experiment in democracy and marry Hong Kong with Shanghai, to later expand it to all of China, but with far fewer cars and a lot less pollution, of course, Taiwan is already there with both democracy and open markets.
