#Johntsang #Civilservant #Government #Purpose

Educated with nuclear engineering and architecture, ended up being a teacher for some years. Between principal of an international school and civil servant, he picked the later when he decided to come Asia in his early 30s, not certain with what lies ahead. Planning gets more difficult in today's world, and, our very well respected and admired, John stayed open to go with the flow all these years, and even after retiring from the government. He talked about his mentality in considering a commitment now and then, some of the most critical and rewarding posting during his decades serving at the government, and the applicability of intrapreneurship spirit in largely hierarchical organization. Small work in the great work. Working with the youth, around technology, disrupting industries attracted him since stepping down from the public service.

#CEO #Insurance #Insurtech #Leadingwithcompassion

“You should be a teacher like many of them (1995)”, “You shouldn’t take up the CEO role at such crisis time (2012)” – two of the many questions that challenged Winnie before she arrived at where she is today. Being perceived with a relatively soft characteristic since young, Winnie turned it into an advantage in this business world. She reflected on how her journey started with the very reputable Swire MT program and how that allowed her to uncover the most “misunderstood” industry. She further shared how her always-on learning appetite led her to concurrently heading a 60-year ago B2B insurance giant and 1-year old B2C insurtech, also how technology is empowering and democratizing the traditional insurance industry to diversify the business format and reach for the next generation to get involved.

#Dean #Education #Professor #Technologytransfer

Benjamin has not pictured himself to be surrounded by students at campuses in the 35-years to come when he first stepped into college in 1986. It took place all because he found interest and value in running transnational education programmes for our system. Decades in, he has developed an in-depth view on what makes higher and further education valuable, the career transition and evolution of being an academia, the importance of research speed and network, also the now one-entry multiple-exit plans available for PhD graduates in a world where technology transfer became a core mission of schools and built a new platform for professors to excel, and what he might be doing in an unlived life.

#CEO #Virtualbank #Financialinclusion #Technologydisruption

Banking Service without a Bank. How is that possible? Innovation is all about disruption. Being part of the "Starting Seven", Tat was there for this venture when Fintech and Virtual Bank were not even a commonly perceived description. Alongside WeLab Bank, as one of the first licensed virtual banks, Tat envisions to help those who are underserved by existing banking services, which favor high-net wealth individuals, to achieve MSG (Manage, Save, Grow). Technology allows them to scale up serving a million for financial inclusion just the same as serving one. A mix of computer science education, the IT and risk management experience with giant banks, addiction to challenges posted by startup are Tat's proud fundamentals for the past 8-years, building a new service from scratch. Hiring based on culture fit is how he plans to travel further with this journey creating an ideal world of intelligent banking.

#CEO #GrowthtoRevenue #Carousell #Paypal

Having spent most career in top American Fortune companies, William made a shift to a promising Asian startup where most employees weren't even born when he graduated from high school.

For career decision at his stage, besides prioritizing purpose, he envisions to deploy his skills at scaling up, helping a company to transition from growth to revenue mode. He shared with us how Hong Kong as an economy is always a "middle child" in the eyes of global corporates, and how HKers like himself are hustling to earn more love by proving the capability of this city to their HQs.

#NGO #Foundation #Trisector #Lifelonglearner

An internship journey to India during school time and the book "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman has broadened horizons and pretty much shaped Gary's career aspiration. He is an untiring learner heading for his fourth program in Sociology, having attained degrees in Language, Law and Diplomatic Studies respectively. He spoke about his rationale of continuous learning, driven by his attitude of "learn how to learn" and "know what to learn". He is also a versatile slasher with a core job and roles in multiple community units, envisioning to be a tri-sector leader inspired by Dominic Barton of McKinsey since early days. In his view, he further addressed how he would develop his career if he were again a fresh school graduate of today, settling into a (post) pandemic world where trends became difficult to catch and international relations became more tense than ever.

25+ years serving in one single company is something uneasy to picture. Cally is a happy example. She walked us through how her curiosity on new things attracted her to be an early cohort Computer Science student some years ago, and contradictorily a super long tenure employee with Hewlett-Packard (HP), despite first trying to resign a year after joining the firm. "Talent comes with Passion", "TSM - Tech/ Skills/ Mindset", "Purpose-driven", "Start-up in a MNC", are some other key messages Cally highlighted in her career journey. She also zoomed out to talk about, in her horizons, the democratization of technology on different sectors, and how HK can catch up with the long-losing crown of being a Tech hub via GBA development plan, with the empowerment from tech firms like Microsoft.

Destination or Journey? Jason became clear with his destination after a college traineeship with United Nation that motivated him to reflect the purpose of education, and he stayed agile with his journey. Being fulfilled by stepping up as a tenured battlefield humanitarian stationed in arm conflicted countries as intense as Palestinian and Afghanistan, Jason decided to return home in 2019 to explore his value for our HK. He envisions to bring home his skills of negotiation in bridging stakeholder groups, now leading a Think & Do Tank to experiment different projects across local communities. He talked about how he sacrificed himself by embracing an investment banking job at graduation as the stepping stone to prepare himself for a permanent role with ICRC he subsequently served, and how he translated his iBank experience into his pathway as a reputable UN AO and a relief officer.

HKSTP has not only attracted thousands of local and international startups to join, but also Albert, an engineer by education. Stationing in the mid of the ocean drilling oil and gas was how Albert spent his first few years after school. He geared himself up with proactiveness all year round, which helped him climb to the rank of regional CEO at GE, the once largest conglomerate in the world. As a leader trained through MNCs, he spoke about his observation on successful entrepreneurs he met at the Park and some best ventures he has seen.

We have come across good books and podcast channels to share. We have built new habits.

I struggled a lot with publishing this episode because I thought it is not perfect, the flow, the accent, the contents, among others. I stepped back to think about why & who would be expecting it to be perfect. We are always asked to do better but seldom asked to be happier. We talked about the excessive craving for the sense of #prestige as part of the society mechanism, to be seen as greater, to earn more plays, to deliver what the society taught us to, and how we turn these taglines into drivers for #success. We also discussed how most of us became fearful of expressing our #weakness, and being ignorant for the power of #vulnerability in making things easier. Emotional Intelligence changes not just career, but life.
