Plus I also help individuals how to design their career business model in 21st century
3) Actionable BizWorkshops: Each Actionable BizWorkshops module is inspired by a leading business book; one core concept from a best-selling business book is taught and explored through a discussion and series of exercises. These workshops broadly cover areas like; Self-management, Team optimisation, Communication Skills, Innovative Thinking, Peer Leadership, Role & Culture fit etc.
