Would you let others determine your worth, or would you do it yourself? One of the people I admire most is my late aunt. She was not only beautiful, kind, and loving, but her presence anchored my family after my grandmother passed. After she passed away in Penang, we stopped going there for Raya. Her absence left a profound gap. What I remember most about her wasn’t just her amazing cooking or how she’d hoard the candies I brought her from the States. She was also one of the most tenacious shoppers I’ve ever known. When she’d visit KL, she’d shop tirelessly, covering five or six stores before returning to the first one for the item she’d decided on. When she liked something, she would set her own price and then bargain for it. If the store didn’t meet her price, she’d walk away—no hesitation. To those around her, this seemed puzzling: if you love it, why not just buy it? It took years to understand her mindset. Then last week, I read a line from The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: “You will never be worth more than you think you’re worth.” This wasn’t just frugality. It was about determining her own sense of value—knowing what something was worth to her and never letting anyone else set it. It made me wonder: do we apply this same principle to our professional lives? How many of us go about our daily work knowing with certainty: 1. What our time is truly worth? 2. If we knew our worth and were offered less, would we walk away? 3. Would we treat our time and effort differently if we truly valued them? #KnowYourWorth #ProfessionalValue #AlmanackOfNavalRavikant Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash

Just had an insightful visit to Wyze headquarters in Kirkland, WA! Special thanks to Karen Neth (She/Hers), Yuepeng Li, and Jack Chung for arranging such an informative company visit. Some key takeaways: - Talents are important in terms of managing supply chain operations, inventory planning, and project initiatives. - Learned about WYZE's strategy for product flow: maintaining affordable products for customers could be challenging in important supply chain decisions. - Discussed the strategies WYZE employs to handle intricate global supply chains, balancing various logistics alternatives. - Emphasized different managerial mindsets between New Product Introduction, Mass Production, and End of Life phases.

𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘳: 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴! 😅 A few months ago, we were in Penang, and we decided to join some friends on a visit to the Komtar Tower to check out the open-air rainbow skywalk on Level 68. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 816 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭. As soon as I looked down at that glass floor, my heart skipped a beat. Logically, I rationalised that it had to be safe — people were already walking on it! 🧠 The glass and structure looked solid. But my brain and my mind didn’t quite buy it, and fear came over me. I felt a wave of nerves rush over me just from seeing straight down! 😨 It took some time for me to finally build up the courage to step out. 💪 But once I took my first step, something amazing happened. With each step I took, my mind slowly recognised that there was nothing to fear — the glass was solid, and I was safe. Suddenly, the nerves melted away, and I was able to fully experience the joy of standing up there, surrounded by the sky. 🌤️ This experience reminded me of how fear often works in our lives and careers. Just as on the skywalk, fear of taking a new step—whether it’s switching jobs, asking for a promotion, or moving into a new role — can feel overwhelming. 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠, 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬; 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤. By taking just that first small step, we realise that what we feared was only in our minds, and on the other side of that courage is growth and opportunity. 🌈 ✨ How many of you would dare to walk this Skywalk? 😆 #Perception #GrowthMindset #OvercomingFear #CareerGrowth #NewExperiences #courage

I have always believed and affirmed that the success of a company is, to a large extent, due to the hard work and dedication of the team. Yes, other factors are also essential, but if your people are not motivated, if they don't find a purpose in their work, they won't be productive. This is why I strongly believe that one of the most valuable aspects of an organization is team spirit. I am proud to say that at Kaufland, we have managed to build the best team. 😊 It hasn't been easy, and the work is not over, because it is an ongoing process where we try to maintain an environment where all employees feel appreciated, respected, and valued, and where people feel safe and encouraged to grow personally and professionally. I believe that at Kaufland, we have succeeded in creating this place, and the proof is in our performance and the company's evolution. I conclude by thanking my colleagues who inspire, challenge, and motivate me daily. I leave here a picture/some pictures of some members of the best team. #Kaufland #KauflandRomania #TeamKaufland #TeamWork #Succes

This was the EXACT moment I knew I was in a healthy workplace. I never thought I’d lead a project of this scale this early in my career at Alt Story.  Yet, there I was, managing the BYD Pakistan brand launch. After a whirlwind of stress, excitement, and sleepless nights, we succeeded. The camaraderie, support, and shared vision were electric. We were a team with unique strengths, Working together to create something extraordinary. Teamwork is often underestimated. It’s more than just collaboration. It’s about trust, respect, and pushing each other to be better. It’s celebrating victories and learning from failures. This project tested our limits and patience. It was demanding and grueling But the reward was immense. The journey to becoming a thought leader is similar. It requires hard work and persistence. It’s about delivering value, building a personal brand, and staying ahead. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Invest in yourself. Prioritize your growth. Surround yourself with a supportive team. Learn from mistakes and never stop learning. Every success story is built on hard work and dedication. In the final hours before the event, I realized I was in a truly exceptional workplace.

How did POYA grow from 37 stores in 2010 to over 370 in 2024? 🤔 Beauty and household goods retailer, POYA International Co., Ltd. opened a humongous flagship store across from SOGO on Zhongxiao East Road and the corner of Fuxing South Road in Taipei in 2020, the city's glitziest retail location. You might be thinking 'so what?' Well.....POYA started as a Tainan Jewlery retailer in traditional markets in the 80's and has now ascended to going toe-to-toe with international giants like Watsons Taiwan and the beauty counters of Taiwan's most premium department stores. Even a decade ago, its stores were mostly only found in Southern and Central Taiwan, and was generally considered a provinical low-cost retailer. Despite coming from humble roots, POYA is extremely data-driven, tech savvy, innovative, customer-centric and takes a long-term strategic approach to everything it does. POYA is a #Taiwan local retail hero and its origin story is worth telling. In this article I take a deep dive in to how POYA achieved this. https://lnkd.in/gXHNz-yd
