As 2025 comes to a close, we reflect on the lessons learned and look ahead to what 2026 may bring. Join Clare, John and Haziq on their final episode of this series of ‘Between Work’.

This week on Between Work, we talk about making meaningful professional connections—whether it is through emails, texts, or networking at social events. We also unpack how confidence plays a big role in a journalist’s job. 

Are Thai workplaces really all ‘sabai-sabai’? In this episode, we unpack the biggest myths about working in Thailand — from hierarchy to communication styles and food. Whether you are a foreign professional, a team leader, or just curious about Thai work culture, we hope you will find our conversation useful.

Giving and receiving feedback is one of the most essential and most uncomfortable parts of work. In this episode, we share our experiences of approaching difficult conversations with clarity, confidence, and empathy.

This week, the Between Work squad digs into the rejections journalists face and how they learn to move past them. They also share tips on handling negativity from coworkers and restoring mental balance through rest, reading, and a few well-chosen video games. If work has ever left you drained or discouraged, this episode is for you.

In this episode of ‘Between Work’, Clare, John and Haziq explore the concept of ‘a dream job’. How do you know if you are currently in your dream job? If yes, congratulations! If not, how can you tell if it is working (or not working) for you? We hope you will find some inspiration for the daily grind from our case examples in the media industry.

The second instalment of ‘Between Work’ has landed! This week, Clare, John and Haziq discuss how they spend their long weekends in Bangkok and the intrigues they find in Thailand’s cafe culture.

In this introductory episode, we discuss work expectations, challenges and new discoveries with John and Haziq who are on a journalist exchange program with Thai PBS World. Life as a foreign reporter in Bangkok is fun!
