Working in the Time of Coronavirus

It’s the last Monday of the month, and Sheila Singam joins Freda Liu on BFM over the phone to discuss the lessons she’s learned and observations she’s had about how people have adjusted to working in the time of COVID-19.

Do Motivational Quotes Work for You?

As Abraham Lincoln famously said, “The problem with quotes found on the Internet is that they are often not true”. But, all joking aside, some people genuinely find comfort from motivational quotes, they find that they work for them. But do they work for everyone?

Managing Crisis & Change with Communication

Malaysia is in an unprecedented space right now. With talks of new coalitions, snap elections, and unity governments, the people are more confused than ever about the future of the country. As complicated as politics and lawmaking may be, could our politicians have done a better job at communicating and explaining this crisis to the people? Is there such a thing as too much information when the country is at stake?

Loving Your Work for a Productive Year

Sheila Singam joins the folks at BFM for the last Monday of the month to run through lessons she discussed over the course of 2019, and how you can use those learnings to love what you do - and get your employees to love what they do, too - in 2020.

Empathy In The Workplace

Businesses and profitability go hand in hand, but often in the pursuit of profits, the needs and feelings of the people involved in the business are overlooked or ignored. The truth is, understanding what people want, showing them care and respect and taking the trouble to know them often has a bigger and better effect than just monetary rewards. So what is empathy and why is it so crucial at the workplace? It’s the last Monday of the month and as usual we have Human Equation founder Sheila Singam with us to share her thoughts on empathy at the workplace through a number of case studies.

Do you think attractiveness is a factor in success at work?

Do you think attractiveness is a factor in success at work? Research shows that good-looking people tend to get ahead at work. But new studies show that might not be the case in all industries.

Forging Meaningful Relationships At Work

Sheila Singam, founder of Human Equation, joins us in the studio for the last Monday of the month to discuss how and why we should work to build more healthy, productive relationships at work through the use of case studies from her clientele.

Respecting Others - A Continuation

Last month, Sheila Singam, founder of Human Equation, started a discussion on respect and whether or not it's truly practiced or just talked about. This month, she joins us again in the studio for the last Monday of the month to carry on the discussion about boundaries, giving and getting respect, and why it's important, through the use of case studies from her clientele.

Respecting Others

The definition of respect is “to have due regard for the feelings, wishes or rights of others”. But do we really practise this unfailingly? Is respect consistently manifested in the way we treat others at work and in our personal relationships? Or are we selective about how we apply it in our daily lives? It’s the last Monday of the month and as usual, we have Human Equation founder Sheila Singam with us to discuss respect and how we can practise it and expect it from others by examining several related case studies.

Showing Appreciation To Enhance Motivation And Performance

How does appreciation translate into recognition? Why is it so important? And how can companies and individuals show appreciation in tangible, acceptable ways?

It’s the last Monday of the month and, as usual, we have Human Equation founder Sheila Singam to discuss showing appreciation to enhance motivation and performance, with the use of case studies.
