Stronger Than EVER!!!

Well, it has been sooooooooo long since I last wrote right?

Some of you might be wondering... what has happen to SHINE?

The FACT is that we are getting stronger than ever with our newly set up training centre at Kota Damansara (near to the curve).

Lots of challenges for the past few months and yet we make it to where we are today.

Our corporate clients currently includes Public Bank (yes, the one we met some time ago), RHB, UOB, GSC, FSTEP of IBBM and Kuwait Finance House.

On the public side, we have also created our very own Everyone Can Learn program with all kinds of weird and interesting program such as Dragon Beard Candy, MindWorks, Balloonology and even movie screening.

As for the graduates side, we have reach out to AIESEC OF UUM and Taylors College. Also we have done some training for UTAR of the business school and the Phsycology Society on the MIllennial Graduates Workshop.

We also brought in the latest Entrepreneur Board Game call Zero to Hero.. and we believe this will take the market by storm.

Fuh... Living in Abundance my friend! Let's be in creation.

With Love,
Hank

To my Partners and You who supported us....

Enjoy the song ya....



Somewhere Over The Rainbow
by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole
album: Facing Future (1993)


Oooohhh......

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii

Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of

Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii


Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself

What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"

They're really saying, I...I love you

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself

What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld


Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me

Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

Ooooohhh....

Love,
Hank

Who the heck is the "Millennial"?

Probable something that I have been looking into for some time... and is one of the vision for SHINE and it has a lot to do with this group of people who call themself the "Millennial". Who are they? well...

The Millennials are the generation of people born between 1979 and 2001. They make up 30 percent of the population of the United States, and they are more involved and active in social causes than any generation before them.

The group will only enter into a partnership with a company if it makes sense. You've hired Millennials. Now how can you keep them around?

Things aren't always what they seem with Millennial employees. If I could give you one bit of advice about dealing with the latest generation of employees to come under your management, it would be to remember those words. Things aren't always what they seem with Millennial employees.

If you are like most business leaders, you've no doubt noticed a trend in the way employees behave in recent years. Most likely you consider it a negative trend - too much entitlement, not enough loyalty, no work ethic, only interested in themselves, and on and on. But I challenge you to consider that perhaps these are not negative trends, just different ones. Things aren't always what they seem with Millennial employees.

To better understand who your Millennial employees are and what drives them to succeed, perhaps it's easiest to understand who they are not.
You. That's right. They may even be your offspring but in the workplace they bear little resemblance to the "you" of yesteryear.

Gen Xers (born 1965-1979) and Millennials (born after 1980) are operating in this world with a completely different perspective. Their definitions of loyalty, time, and success are often quite different from yours. Rest assured they do recognize all of these concepts and value them in very important ways.

The key to your organization's future success is understanding how the Millennials view the world and using that knowledge to motivate them in a way that works. Here's a hint: meet them where they are and they will achieve your underlying goals; try to force them to fit your definitions and they will run for the door every time.

So let's take a look at some of the pervasive myths about our youngest generation in the workforce and discuss why these changes are happening. You can tailor your workplace to meet your needs and your employee needs. In meeting these needs, the company will thrive.

Finally...

We finally did a training for a BIG SME company yesterday! Ya...finally someone gave us an opportunity!

It was hard work as we spent whole week to prepare for the historical day. We know we must make it amidst all challenges. The pressure was great as I was working at odd hours to rush up the materials. There were quite a bit of travelling between the client place too. Due to the pressure and lack of rest, I was ill throughout including on the BIG day itself! However, the results was satisfying.....when the participants gave you good ratings and commented the program was interesting to them!

We need to work harder for more SME, as our application to HRDF is still pending decision. The more we do, the more closer we are towards obtaining the license for HRDF!

The name of this BIG SME will not be revealed here, as previously when we did that, we tend to lose out something.....It's better to be cautious than adventurous!

The journey to entreprenuership is definitely challenging....we are into our 3rd month of operation though things are moving , it's a bit slow. We must find ways to speed up a bit. In business, time is money; the longer it takes, the more to lose!

Go...Go...Go...

Working Hard to get a SME training session

This month we are working extremely hard to look for a SME/SMI company who contributes in HRDF. We have visited several potential clients and have submitted proposals accordingly. Again, time is the essence and we are anxiously waiting for a good news anytime....

Visiting SME/SMI used to be my job many years ago. However, things are very different today as my current role is not a banker. Those who know me still focus the discussion on banking and lendings where they need further advice. It took quite a while for me to promote training to them. Some of them do not emphasize this area but some viewed training as important. All I have to do is "try" . Just try to create awareness and again it takes times to sell the programs. Here again, "patience" is being put into test!

The focus for now is on SME/SMI. It will remains as the key driving factor until we secure the first training contract. While hard work is inevitable, luck plays its role too. Do pray hard for us.
