Wouldn’t it be great to have the career advice you need, when you need it? 🤔
The content you wish your career centre had given you
I was like you, I wanted to level up in my career and was unsure where to go. It’s even worse when you’re a second-generation immigrant after a few years of hard work my career is finally going the right way.
I did it with no handouts, just hard work and a lot of mistakes. You can do the same but without the mistakes (hopefully)
Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others so I hosted a podcast to learn from people much smarter than I am.
eBooks
I was like you, applying to job applications online and in a matter of seconds receiving an email thanking me for my application and telling me I was rejected.
It got annoying, I was listening to all the advice I was told and it didn’t work so I had to get creative. You can learn what I did to get interviews at Asset Management firms and tp tech companies
Stock Options
I have helped over 250+ companies create Option schemes to do 3 core things: incentivise, attract and retain talent.
What I have noticed is that there is very little articulation of share options speaking to the actual recipients.
If you have been offered share option, then this is for you

do more, your future you will thank you
I wanted to be the mentor or support system for others that I wished I had & I wanted to document my journey from my bedroom to the salesfloor to the boardroom. It seems I hit that goal of being a member of a board at a company employing me as a representative of the commercial function last summer. What I have learned is that…
Its a marathon, run a lap
is just running your race. We are all told about these arbitrary milestones we must achieve by arbitrary ages, and often we feel as if we are failures if we do not, but frankly, none of that actually matters. What does matter is that we are striving to achieve our goals and putting that work…
my observation with the modern workforce
I’m back like I never left. It’s been a while since I shared my unprompted thoughts. A lot has changed since we last spoke, but here’s what’s on my mind. I returned from a lesson and joked with my partner that I know how to make boomers laugh—just talk about how lazy young people are.…
5 ideas from Marcus Aurelius
1. Be good. “No matter what anyone says or does, my task is to be good.” Our task is to be good human beings. That’s it. Nothing more. Nothing less. What does “good” mean? It means to be virtuous. To be kind, compassionate, loving, courageous, brave, disciplined, forgiving, hopeful, grateful, and so on. “While you…
Depth vs Breadth
I have always been a generalist and I was happy about this. I found myself getting bored by things rather quickly so the life of a generalist was one of interest, you learn a lot and as a result, you are intellectually simulated. I started to compare my career with a mentor of mine as…
Changing jobs
I couldn’t decide whether to leave my job. I knew I wanted to try something new, but I had feelings of guilt and anxiety preventing me from actually doing anything about it. For a few months, I’d diligently weigh up the pros and cons of staying vs leaving. I viewed it like a problem on…
Work life fallacy
If work-life balance is on your mind, then you’re in the wrong field. I know this from first-hand experience. Before I got into sales, I was in consulting staring at excels and completing VLOOKUP’s and visiting clients. I thought I was overworked and yearned for more work-life balance. Instead, I should’ve focused on improving the quality of my…
What I learnt from my worst managers
Some of my worst managers have been great people—friendly, kind, and open-hearted. What made them bad managers was not that they were malicious, narcissistic, or uncaring, but that our relationship was off-kilter. Writing this I wonder if some people would put me on their “best manager” list or list me as their worst. A manager-employee relationship is…
Why I Fast
As I am writing this I am at the start of a 24-hour food fast, no food just high-quality H20. I won’t pretend I am only 6 hours in and I am suffering, I can not wait to eat those Crosstown doughnuts and cookies tomorrow. Let’s take a step back because if you had told…
What would Marcus Aurelius do?
Most salespeople don’t ask that question when facing a bad quarter or a difficult prospect. They waste time searching for the latest sales hacks instead of focusing on what matters—their mindset. That’s what separates the elite reps from mediocre ones. The Stoics can teach us about adopting the right mindset. Although there are no Ten Commandments…
Progress is progress
After spending years coaching sports, consuming crazy amounts of content around leadership, management and coaching as well as having my coach who had decades of management experience I was feeling myself. For those not familiar with colloquial language, this simply means I was confident, perhaps even overzealous in my ability. I had visions of joining…
What Fear Can Teach Us
Fear can be a trojan horse. When we feel it, it’s a warning that what comes next may be dangerous. It’s an indicator that we’re at our limit, and our subconscious minds want us to back out. Though the feeling of fear is unpleasant, inside it lies a hidden opportunity. In 1901, Theodore Roosevelt hesitated…
