I read a book today that offered an excellent elaboration on my point mentioned in my book (p.25) on ”training your emotional muscle to deal with down moment and negative energy”. The book titled “The Coaching Manual – The Definitive Guide to the Process, Principles and Skills of Personal Coaching” by Julie Starr (p.150) suggests […]

Hit:  Branding was lot of fun.  With the help of my art director Damian, we came up with a series of promotional items under the same theme of “hour glass”. That included posters, promotional postcards, business cards, stickers and letter papers with logo.  Even the staff at the post office noticed the special sticker I […]

Continuing on the theme of “Hits and Misses” in 2014: Hit: Personal Development – Through the self-publication and promotion of my book, I have learned a great deal on how to present myself in a more formal/corporate way. It was a great experience to take a day off from work going to independent bookstores to […]

I had a drink this evening with a friend whom I “gently” persuaded to read my book over the holidays. He told me that he plans to pick up piano which he was taught and trained for during his childhood. After reading my book, he was very much encouraged to go for it again. It was […]

Today I was invited to a new year lunch at a friend’s house and happened to sit next to David Keys who is an established journalist and author of two books. Unfortunately, the subject of my own book was brought up quite late in our conversation and I did not manage to “squeeze in” a sales […]

Even though it is technically not a year end for the publication of my book (first published in Sep-14), as it is a good time of the year for reflection, let me start the year with a series of blogs on the “Hit and Miss” of my book publication so far. I will include one […]

I am someone that loves to make New Year Resolution (fulfilling it is another story:>). I have had an excellent 2014. To top it off, I have received 2 bottles of Champagne at work for 2 different events in the past 2 weeks. Thanks God – I love my Champagne :> Continuing on the momentum […]
