Pursuing My Dream.

  We are constantly surrounded by people no matter what phase of life we're in. We have friends, elders, and teachers around us during our childhood. We are surrounded by peers, professors, corporates, or bosses in the later stages of our lives. Have you thought about what impact they have on you and what impact you could have on them? Have you wondered how important this could be? We have all come across the popular saying " Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you what you are." We are indeed the average person of the group or company that we keep. The sooner we realise the astonishing effect the people we surround ourselves with have on us, the better we understand the importance of the right people around us.

  Leadership lessons from my sports coaching experience My sporting career has taught me a number of soft skills and today, I would like to talk about one in particular - Leadership. As a professional sportsperson and a former national level table tennis player, my sporting career is something that I'm proud of and I'm happy to be in touch with my sport as a coach at the moment. From the day I started to plan my Master of Business Analytics abroad, working as a part-time Table Tennis coach was something I looked forward to even before I arrived in Melbourne, the sporting capital of the world.
