Taking Charge of the Mind

It’s the last Monday of the month and Sheila Singam of Human Equation comes back to the studio to discuss client case studies from her coaching experience, all about how to take charge of the mind in the workplace.

Handling A Toxic Environment

A toxic workplace can be defined as any job where the work, the atmosphere, the people, or any combination of those things seriously affect your peace of mind, your self-esteem, your mental and physical health, and even your relationships. Sheila Singam, Human Equation founder, is back on the last Monday of the month to discuss toxic environments in and out of the workplace through case studies.

Why Values Are Vital

Values, when translated into workplace behaviours, can help to create an organisational culture that presents a sound basis for branding. And branding should reflect the corporate culture, which in turn should positively impact both internal and external stakeholders and connect with them at both a functional and emotional level. On a personal level, we should all be living lives that are aligned with our individual value systems. If we are in conflict with our inner values, it can cause dissonance within us, a sense of unease, which in the long term will lead to dissatisfaction, relationship issues and a host of other issues. It’s the last Monday of the month and as usual, Human Equation founder Sheila Singam sheds some insight on values as a driver for branding, both personal and corporate, through some case studies.

Workplace Romances: Can They Work?

The HR Department would cringe, but that hasn’t stopped millions of people from doing it. And when all is said and done, is an office romance really worth it?

Setting Boundaries for Yourself

For our properties, we set very clear boundaries – perimeter fencing, security guards, access cards, fortified front and backdoors, and so on. And yet, when it comes to ourselves, many of us don’t have boundaries and we run the risk of overextending ourselves past our limits, or being perpetually uncomfortable. As usual for the last Monday of the month, Human Equation founder Sheila Singam joins us in the studio to shed a light on the need for boundaries and how to set them, along with accompanying case studies.

New Year’s Eve Special: Reviewing 2018 and 2019 Wish List with Sheila Singam of Human Equation Sdn Bhd

Today is New Year’s Eve and the last day of the present year. Coincidentally, it is also the last Monday of the month and as usual, we have Human Equation Sdn Bhd founder Sheila Singam with us the Tools for Transformation series. We review the issues covered in this series in the past year and talk about Sheila’s wish list for the coming year.

Using Performance Appraisal for Development

The end of the year is a time that many employees dread. It’s because it’s the time for performance appraisal. Surprisingly, it’s not just those who are being appraised who approach it with trepidation; the ones doing the appraising also often feel anxious at having to tell their subordinate the truth about their performance in the past year. It’s the last Monday of the month and Sheila Singam from Human Equation shares about how to turn performance appraisal into a productive and motivating event.

NLP - Tools For Transformation: The Need for Meaningful Conversations at Work

On average, we spend at least eight hours of the working day with our colleagues, sometimes as much as 12 hours. And yet, we know more about the friends we may meet for a few hours once a week than the people whom we spend the greater half of our time. Perhaps it is time to stop, take a good look at the people at work, and engage in conversations that will allow us to get to know them better and build the rapport that will make people feel we care about them and ultimately, enhance our working relationships to create a healthy and happy work culture. It’s the last Monday of the month and we have Sheila Singam on Raise Your Game’s Tools for Transformation series to speak about the need to have meaningful conversations at work and how to go about it.

Shaping A Positive Organisational Culture

What is organisational culture and why is it so important to the success of an organisation? Does it evolve on its own or does it need a will and a strategy to achieve it? How can organisations improve on their culture? It’s the last Monday of the month and Human Equation founder Sheila Singam will be sharing some insights into how companies can work towards a positive organisational culture.

NLP - Tools For Transformation: Giving Employees Freedom at Work

Do most employees generally enjoy freedom in the workplace? Are they really free to be themselves and let their true personalities shine forth? Do they have the freedom to reach their objectives in the ways they see fit? Or the freedom to keep non-traditional hours and work from home? Are they allowed to exercise their creativity in how to get a job done? Or to be able to give an opinion or feedback about the company and the way it does business without fear?

It’s Merdeka week and what could be more apt than to explore freedom in the workplace? It’s the last Monday of the month and as usual, we have Human Equation founder Sheila Singam on Raise Your Game’s Tools for Transformation Series.
