🙏 We are Hopeful to arrange our Experiential Learning Adventures with our clients again, as the market is re-opening during this Endemic stage, to stimulate our local economy. 🤝 Best part about going into the Great Outdoors, is not just limited to us, being able to design Impactful & Memorable Training & Teambuilding programmes for our clients – BUT… 🌄 The biggest positive impact, is that we are able to stimulate the economy of the local towns & operators, whose livelihood depend on us, ‘Channelling’ clients to use their facilities. As we prepare for more Leadership Retreats & Teambuildings which can be organised in the Great Outdoors, here are: 4 MAJOR BENEFITS ON WHY YOU SHOULD GO OUTDOORS FOR YOUR NEXT LEADERSHIP RETREAT: HAPPINESS 👉 You will be happier. Exercising outdoors isn’t just good for your physical health. It helps with your mental health as well. Spending time in nature and the natural light can improve your mood and reduce stress and depression. Engaging in physical activity produces similar benefits and often times relaxes and cheers people up. SELF-ESTEEM 👉 Your self-esteem will improve. Outdoor exercise stimulates all five senses in a way that indoor activities cannot. Additionally, being out in nature impacts the brain in a positive way, making you feel better about yourself. HEALTH 👉 Vitamin D levels go up. Vitamin D is also known as the “sunshine vitamin” because it is made in the skin when it’s exposed to sunlight. Studies suggest that Vitamin D may have protective effects against everything from osteoporosis to cancer to depression to heart attacks and stroke. You only need about 10-15 minutes of sun several days a week during the warm weather. EXERCISE 👉 You will exercise longer and burn more calories. Research shows that those who exercise outdoors burn 10% more calories when they walk or run than they do when they work out on a treadmill at the same speed. When exercising outdoors, the distractions of your surroundings take your mind off the work of working out. As a result, there’s a much greater chance that you’ll end up exercising longer than you would if you were exercising indoors.

🙏 We are Grateful to be able to catch up with one of our Mentors Andreas Vogiatzakis ~ Leadership Coach yesterday, in celebration of his newly launched book – ‘Courage at the Crossroads.’ Andreas brings with him, a wealth of corporate experience, having led multiple global organisations with a diverse group of people. Today, we share Andreas’ wealth of experience & knowledge, not only internally within our company, in our efforts to spur the GROWTH of our Thrivers. But also, we work closely with Andreas to deliver these following programmes for our clients like; 👉 Coaching for Leaders programmes 👉 Public Relations & Communication skills for Senior Leaders 👉 Crisis Management for Senior Leaders 👉 Stakeholders Management programmes But… In the process, WE too have benefitted from his mentoring & constant engagement with us. 👐 Here are just 10 benefits employers gain from mentorship programs:   ✔️ A learning culture is created where knowledge is continually shared in a collaborative nature. ✔️ Mentoring helps employees reach their full potential; thus promoting their personal and professional development in a supportive way. ✔️ Mentorship enhances leadership and coaching skills in current and future managers. ✔️ Mentorship engages and motivates your top-talent employees. ✔️ Employers of mentored employees gain from greater productivity in the workplace. ✔️ Employees turn to mentors for advice; thus making fewer mistakes; thus cutting loss to employers. ✔️ Employees in mentntoring relationships tend to have greater job satisfaction and feel a high level of engagement in their roles. ✔️ Greater job satisfaction leads to a more positive work environment. ✔️ A positive work environment creates less employee turnover and workers feel a greater sense of loyalty to their company. ✔️ Mentors are leaders. Leaders don’t produce followers. They create additional leaders. We hope that this sharing has been helpful for you. What are Your Thoughts on Mentoring at Your Work?

In our business of Training, we found that – People Learn Best when We Mix Education, with Pleasure, Entertainment & Positive Emotional Moments. Hence, we organised an Awards Ceremony in recognition of their hardwork. CONGRATULATIONS to Batch 1 of our Corporate University programme with our Partner, AXA Affin Insurance It wasn’t an easy journey for these young achieving agents to Graduate from our programme. But after an entire year’s worth of planning & a good 5 months of intensive learning sessions with our key educational partners – They have all finally, been Awarded, Recognized & have Graduated from their pursuit of being the ‘World Class’ entrepreneurs & agents, recognized by the industry, for the society. It was certainly a Proud & Touching moment for me, as i bid my good byes, for now to all these awardees & graduates of our Corporate University programme. I was regarded as the ‘Headmaster’ by these Achievers throughout their journey with us. Thank You for INTI International Universities & Colleges for completing this journey with us! Thank You to our Thriver Patience Chen for leading this project to its fruition & the Thriving Talents team. Of course, this project would not have been possible without the amazing dedication & partnership with AXA Affin Insurance We are Grateful! Now, Go & Spread Your Wings to Inspire more Lives, AXA Warriors! #thrivingtalents #celebration #friendship #Gratitude #corporateuniversity #leadership #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurship #millennials #achievers #innovation #insurance

The Number ‘7’  🙏 This Number on this Day, has gone into the historic records of our company.  I started Thriving Talents from a humble 3 bedroom apartment in USJ 19. We worked hard. From the company being registered as an Enterprise, we became a Sdn. Bhd. in 2015 after having raised funds from 2 investors.  🤝 We hustled. We persevered.  As the CEO of the company, i kept saying:  ‘Thriving Talents needs to go BEYOND Michael Teoh… Thriving Talents is NOT JUST Michael Teoh… Thriving Talents represents an IDEAL, an ASPIRATION, a GOAL for many of us…’  We struggled to realize that particular Vision, as many, many people still want MICHAEL TEOH, your Trainer from Thriving Talents.  It was the start of 2021 – We PIVOTED.  We focused more on Selling the ‘Thriving Talents Experience’ and the ‘Thriving Talents Learning Solutions’, INSTEAD of ‘Get Motivated by Michael Teoh… And Thriving Talents!’  It was a Challenge. I felt like i was Reinventing & BIRTHING an entirely new business!  Then, on the 16th of NOVEMBER 2021 – Something beyond my Dreams Happened!  I woke up, turned my laptop on & saw, in my calendar that we had 7 Trainings, all happening in 1 day, by 7 different Trusted Experts & Trainers of ours.  Excitedly, i called up my Lead of Projects to confirm with her.  She confirmed it.  Wow! The Number ‘7’ on the 16/11/2021 To some of you, the Number ‘7’ may not mean much. But for me, & dare i say, for us, in a small company like Thriving Talents, it MEANT THE WORLD FOR US!  Thank You to our Clients, Partners & especially our Thrivers!  We Made History Yesterday!  God Willing, Lets Make this Consistent, so that We Impact more Lives!  Our Gratitude to our Partners at UOB S P Setia Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad Bursa Malaysia CIMB Celcom Axiata Berhad The Coca-Cola Company #thankyou #thrivingtalents #gratitude #goals #growth #leadership #michaelteoh #keynotespeaker #teambuilding #innovation #sales #recordbreaking

Heard of the Japanese term of Ikigai? – If you are cynical of doing what you love, for a living, fearing that it will not pay off for your lifestyle? – Well, you can still Live Your Lifestyle, by BALANCING What You are Doing.

A story shared by my colleague, containing lessons which i believe are relevant for YOU, if you are:

– Working in a Highly Stressful Environment
– Have Commanding Bosses
– Have Colleagues or Teams who Love to Put the Blame on You
– Have Unreasonable Customers
