S3E10: From Fame to Rock Bottom? Sharon Au on Walking Away from Success and If It Was Worth It
Sharon Au, one of Singapore’s beloved TV personalities, was at the height of her fame when all of a sudden she shocked everyone by walking away. Trading the glitz and glamour of show business, in 2005 she flew to Japan to further her studies. When she returned to Singapore in 2011, she found a new purpose in boardrooms, climbing the corporate ladder at Mediacorp. Just as she thought she had settled, she packed up once again and moved to Paris, stepping yet into another new adventure– completely on her own terms.
What drives her to keep reinventing herself? What did she gain (and lose) in the process? And what can we all learn from her fearless approach to starting over?
Tune in for a heartfelt and laughter-filled conversation as we unravel the inspiring evolution of Sharon Au. We’ll uncover what her journey tells us about ambition, identity, and courageous pursuit for growth!
