As this will be my last message to be sent for 2022, I'd like to share with you some of my reflections ka:
2022 is one of the busiest years since my retirement from Fulbright because of quite a few invitations to give talks/workshops or to moderate sessions; one regional and some domestic trips; and several 'online' learning forums, not to mention the 52 podcast episodes my team and I successfully managed every Tuesday.
On the whole, what I've learned are:
- My main interest has turned 'Leadership' into the first rank, and 'Internationalization' as the second. It's also amazing to notice that I've paid increased attention to the global economic and business issues when before I only touched on management. This added interest has helped so much when preparing talks and workshops ka.
- My podcast team said I am the one who's learned most from its content and diverse backgrounds of guest speakers. Can't agree more ka....got to talk with at least one Fulbright alum or junior friends or new contacts to learn how they see the world and what they think of their own circles. I also have to sharpen my brain thinking more creatively for each month's theme to make it attractive and useful.
- Attending some online courses has extended my world to some different fields other than education, and driven me to select what to learn more. One favorite event was 'The Standard Economic Forum' (can watch the events till March next year). It was really an enriching experience to have some new perspectives and knowledge from economics and international affairs to climate change and new businesses; some new faces for me to follow their work; a glimpse into the latest trends and technologies; existing conflicts and possible options; younger gens' ways of thinking and working, etc.
In addition, I had several other courses to learn about my inner self and how to stay calm and grow like meditation and art therapy for example.
- Giving talks or serving as moderator was another aspect that helped me learn and improve from my preparations and communication to best fit with various groups of audience, with success at different degrees from my own assessments to get A minus to C.
- I have set aside some quality time for myself to relax and exercise, for getting together with family and friends.....can always do more for sure ka.
For 2023, I'm ready to enter it with commitment to learning and sharing more while hoping to care for both those I love and those I don't know ka.
Happy holidays and stay in excellent health na ka, everyone.
