A Monthly Curated Newsletter

Amidst a pandemic, the profound impact & discomfort of loss or the prospect of loss is felt almost universally. We may find ourselves and even those we care about feeling anxious & restless, which makes it challenging as we find ways to adjust not just physically, but also mentally & emotionally. At this time, emotional support for one another becomes ever more essential. Here, I'd love to share with you insights that can help us have a deeper understanding on the complex emotions that we may be dealing with, & the ways in which we can provide meaningful social support in our daily interactions through being present & holding space for others.

Joan Tong. Headquarter

It is an honour for myself & Headquarter to be part of the Media/Crowdfunding team for the once-in-a-lifetime GoSpace project. On 31 May 2019, Mr Lim Seng attempted Singapore's maiden journey into space from Alice Springs, Australia. Though the mission had to be aborted prematurely due to depressurization, the Space team was successful in the attempt and managed to attain over 24,000 ft above sea level after 19 minutes of steady ascent. It has been a long time coming and the journey continues. The Space team is not giving up. And so are we. In the photo is Mr Lim Seng, the head & heart behind this treacherous-yet-remarkable mission. Keep your eyes peeled as he sends the first Singaporean to the edge of space!

Jorene. AIA Strategic Alliance

I met up with Joan today for a session on how HQ can be used effectively for our financial advisory process in our team. I think it was beneficial and I believe you'd find it useful too.
