Mutual Consolation
A lady colleague whom I was actually not really closed to, but merely had the chance to say Hello with smile formerly, unexpectedly shared her family problem with me.
It was early of last week...
We met on the corridor again. She asked me gently: "How are you?" as usual.
I smiled and laughed: "Well, whether we are okay or not, we normally tend to response Good, Thank you."
Unexpectedly, she told me: "I am undergoing a divorce now. My husband who has been enjoying his bachelor life for the past few years finally asked for a divorce."
On the surface I remained calm after hearing the news. However, I was actually shocked because she looked alright all the time.
I didn't have chance to speak to her since then until this morning.
We met in the ladies. She shared with me that her daughter was upset because her father couldn't with her yesterday when it was Father's Day.
I told her that I had thought of making a Chinese or Japanese dinner for her and her daugther.
She was delightened. She said the news would help to cheer her lovely 14-year-old daughter up.
As her daughter likes Japanese food, I would be showing her daughter to make simple Japanese sushi with cucumber and carrots. I would be cooking a Japanese noodle for dinner also.
Umm, that is what I wish to do: To give consolation to those who are in need; To make the life more meaningful to live in.

Motivating, Coaching, Counselling & Mentoring
"Motivating, Coaching, Counselling & Mentoring: Strategic Tools for Effective Leadership"
It is a workshop run by my mother company. Will love to write an article over the importance of coaching.
*****
Introduction
We often hear record-breaking athletes say; I owe it to my coach; That’s because however talented they are, athletes need a coach to improve their performance and competitiveness. Likewise, Companies and Organisations need to create a culture where coaching and feedback occur as a routine part of each day. Towards this strategic end.
· This innovative and motivating course, explains a structured approach to coaching which is effective whether a manager is working with a new recruit or seeking improvement from an experienced player.
· Being less of a boss and more of a coach is fundamental to modern management.
· Urging people to do better won’t work unless they know how to do it better.
· Good coaching builds trust and collaborative climate between manager and team.
· The process involves breaking tasks down to their component parts, helping people to improve performance in each element and enabling them to pull these elements together to achieve the desired effect.
Who Should Attend
· This course is designed for managers, team leaders and professionals at all levels who want to become effective at coaching and motivating others.
Course Objectives
It is essential for effective leadership to understand that -
· Coaching and equipping, is one of the most important acts of leadership.
· Successful managers recognise that to get things done cost effectively they must ‘grow’ people to their full potential.
· Outstanding performance must be drawn from every member of the team.
· This requires clear direction, feedback and personal empowerment.
Training Methodology
The Course will be presented in a highly inter-active manner, with a very impactive computer presentation style.
Together with your fellow participants, you will bring a wide variety of experience and resources to the programme. The course facilitator’s role is to help you learn for yourself and to assist you as you make sense of new ideas and techniques that you can use at work. We learn things as we try them out, stepping out of the zones that we find comfortable. Joining in role-plays and having a go may feel awkward but is often the best way to find out how we are doing with our learning. You will have plenty of opportunity during the workshop to experiment and try out new skills and understanding. The course facilitator will give you some input and then help you to make sense of the models through some discussion and then practice. You’ll then decide actions to apply the learning to your workplace.
