How can we be more satisfied in life?

Stephen Lew and Jade Seah return for more insights on HAPPINESS!

Social norms may have taught us to believe that a nice house, car, and spending power are necessary for a ‘good’ life.

Instead, we are more likely to be happier when we have a strong sense of meaning. Learn how we can do so in this episode!

As leaders in an organisation, does caring for our employees and wanting optimal performance from them feel like competing goals?

Employees work closely with stakeholders, and it is essential for them to have the space to be innovative and engaged. For Roslina, having trust and generosity towards our subordinates is therefore vital for company success.

When it comes to workplace marginalisation, Roslina Chai has plenty of novel approaches to improving how we work together.  

What we can do to foster inclusivity, and why is it so important anyway?  

Because if employees are afraid to take risks or speak out at work; if they feel excluded and unappreciated, then this sets the scene for unhealthy organisational habits that accumulate and can eventually cause disasters within a company. Think silo mentality, in groups and out groups, and poor workplace engagement. 

Organisational Inclusivity Expert Roslina Chai thinks of fostering inclusiveness as “planting seeds”. 

Find out how you can plant your own seeds in this episode!
