How women can tap into their “God-sized faith for Godly women.”  Can you discuss a little bit about that and how you help them to do so? We discussed a little bit last time about how “sensitive” people are today – to basically everything. They get offended if you tell them it's cold outside. How can someone apply their God-given passions to everyday life - without offending anyone? Why is trying to "save souls" hard on us? Not just hard on us, but also it can be hard on others. What should we be doing instead? Marnie, this has been so interesting. You have 14 or 15 books out there. How can someone find them and order them? I take it they are on Amazon, correct? If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly come speak at a church or conference, etc., how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you? I'll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, as this world in which we live begins to wrap up into eternity, it is more needful now than ever before to use our God given talents and resources to reach more people and to share the Gospel.

Linda Maloney - Former Naval Aviator & CEO of Veteran Women Speakers Linda Maloney enlisted in the Navy at 17, but that was just beginning of her 20 year career.

She has a passion to give a voice to veteran women's stories. Her book “Military Fly Mom”s and business Veteran Women Speakers exemplify this.

It offers a collection of inspiring stories of women, who all shared the same two dreams, becoming aviators in the military and being moms. It was awarded the Military Writers Society of America 2012 Creative Nonfiction Gold Medal Award and 2012 Stars and Flags Literary Award. In addition Linda is the Project Director for the Proudly She Served project. This is another coffee table book that highlights women who have served in all different branches of the military.

Forgiveness doesn't mean what they did was right nor that I am excusing the offense. Forgiveness means I will no longer remain imprisoned by the offense. That's too much power to give to someone concerning my life. Forgiveness is for me, not my offender!But God Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/But-God-Sometimes-Purpose-Darkest/dp/0692987398/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8Websitehttp://nadinearaphael.comYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZEf9__Cp9_EkKwmPKS0cYQ?view_as=subscriberIGhttps://www.instagram.com/nadinearaphael/FBhttps://www.facebook.com/nadinearaphael/Mail mailto:nadineraphael@me.comDonatehttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=D9554QVPZ3AHE&source=url

Some may say "I'm not going to forgive you because they wronged me. They don't deserve my forgiveness. You hurt me therefore you deserve to suffer. I'm not letting you off the hook." The reality is forgiveness has nothing to do with the person. Forgiveness is not for them, it's so that you are no longer held a prisoner by the wrong that was done to you. Forgiveness is so that you can be free and no longer remain a captive to the actions of someone else.But God Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/But-God-Sometimes-Purpose-Darkest/dp/0692987398/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8Websitehttp://nadinearaphael.comYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZEf9__Cp9_EkKwmPKS0cYQ?view_as=subscriberIGhttps://www.instagram.com/nadinearaphael/FBhttps://www.facebook.com/nadinearaphael/Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/00bWLq83SW4z3wm1kTUO3H?si=61DLKnMNSj-J1X7S_27McAApple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nadines-dose-of-inspiration/id1518364267Mail mailto:nadineraphael@me.com

The Bible instructs us to “pray always with all prayer” (Ephesians 6:18). Other translations say, “all kinds of prayer” or “different kinds of prayer.” The Amplified Bible says, “with all [manner of] prayer.” There is more than just one kind of prayer, and depending on what you desire from God, you need to understand the importance of each one.  Today we will identify 7 types of prayer we see in the Bible and what do they actually mean.Websitehttp://nadinearaphael.comYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZEf9__Cp9_EkKwmPKS0cYQ?view_as=subscriberNadine's Memoir book: But God https://www.amazon.com/But-God-Sometimes-Purpose-Darkest/dp/0692987398/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8IGhttps://www.instagram.com/nadinearaphael/FBhttps://www.facebook.com/nadinearaphael/Mail mailto:nadineraphael@me.comDonate:https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=D9554QVPZ3AHE&source=url

Sue Yen is a professional speaker, board director and entrepreneur who engages audiences globally on the future of work. She is CEO of bronze Phoenix, a premier provider of solutions to help organizations and leaders reinvent themselves. She is also the author of an Amazon best seller and award winning photographer and early in life as a musician, which I never knew. So we're gonna learn all about these different stages of her career. So Su-Yen Wong first of all, welcome to you. Thank you, James. Great to be here. James Taylor So share with us Oh, what's happening in your world just now? Su-Yen Wong Well, at the moment, I'm actually preparing for a couple of meetings next week with one of the large major banks, I've got another session coming up actually, with. It's a governmental setup here, also in Singapore for one of their one of the conferences, juggling a few things. Plus, of course, it's just been board directors season. So it's, it's been pretty full on. James Taylor So take us back to I never knew you had you had the Secret Life of being a musician to to take us through these different steps or stages in your, in your your, your portfolio of Korea, Japan. Su-Yen Wong Right, right. Well, I did start out as a musician, my my mother actually had a music school, she still she still teaches. So at the age of three, I was pumped into the piano, and started to learn piano. And so I actually majored in music in university. But just to make it fun, I did music and computer science. And so there's some recordings out there of me with a couple of orchestras and things like that. And I also earned my living on the side Piano Bar and stuff like that. So that that was sort of the first chapter. But But I never actually aspired to be a professional musician, because I actually think it's a fairly lonely life, certainly as a pianist. So I morphed from there into strategy consulting, then he went on to a leadership role in professional services morphed into taking on a board, Director portfolio, and then in my current incarnation, I'm continuing to do that, but but also with life as a professional speaker and entrepreneur. James Taylor So it shows kind of circuitous Ray, you ended back on stages again, or be in a different gaze. Su-Yen Wong You're quite right. And actually, it's the same, it works exactly the same way, in the sense that you know, that lots of metaphors that I use, from music to leadership to speaking, and I think they actually translate pretty well. James Taylor Now you're based in Singapore, which is a phenomenal hub, to base from if you're speaking across Southeast Asia, as well. You went to you studied music was in the US is where you study. Right? Yeah. And so tell us, what did you after you studied there, and you did also your computer science program as well? Did you immediately move back to Singapore? Or were you traveling around the world for a little bit? Su-Yen Wong Yeah, great question. I started out in the US, I worked in the US for a while then I relocated to Thailand, and then to Hong Kong. And then they spent quite a bit of time in Korea, but of time in China, and then finally landed back in Singapore. So it was a bit of a circuitous route back here. And so part of the reason why I do enjoy speaking globally is because I've actually worked with clients around the world. So you've asked what else I'm working on. So I've got a trip coming up to to Australia, and then to to the US. So Boston, New York, DC. Yeah, and I guess when you live in a particular place, you get a bit more of a cultural affinity, which, at least for me, as a speaker makes it easier to connect the audience. So that that's all come in handy, even though it wasn't planned that way. James Taylor There's something I find really interesting about your obviously your your speakers, you member as well, but something something I find really working and working with you as well is because I end up working with there. There may be speakers, authors, coaches, or speakers, authors, mentors or speakers, trainers or sometimes like speakers, advisors, perhaps, you know, you might have a little bit of that as well, speakers, online marketers, but you actually have this kind of speaker on the board. And, you know, you know, board director board advisory in a person's well, so tell tell me about now because I think that's quite uncommon that in terms of having professional speakers, they have such a depth of experience in the boardroom. Su-Yen Wong Yeah, um, I guess I might my board journey, I guess all of these things are journeys, right, just as you have a speaker's journey, there's a board journey is one, I've probably been in board situations on board since over 10 years. And it started out as a bit of a curiosity, which was you know, as as a as a consultant, you advise clients, and then of course, the clients then take it from there, in terms of what they want to do here advice, be going to board has really allowed me I think, to get a little closer to sort of actually directing action across a portfolio of different companies in different countries. So some of the boards that I work with are in Myanmar and India and Indonesia, the US, Australia, so it's quite a diverse base to work with. And then in concurrently with that in and as part of my role previously, and you know, with multinational companies, I had to do a lot of speaking anyway. So So I suppose you could think of it as I've been paid to speak for quite a number of years, but in under corporate umbrella, and then sort of now blending both the board journey as well as the speakers training, I think it allows me to sort of see the perspective in terms of what companies are going through as they go through transformation, and then translate that into into the messages that I bring when when I put on my other hat, right to sort of different hats for different situations. James Taylor So can you remember that first speaking gig that you got where you it wasn't because you were a board member there, you weren't going for a company, but actually a company or an organization, we're paying to bring you, Sudan to come and speak at their conference or their event? Su-Yen Wong You know, that actually wasn't a very long time ago at all, that was literally about a year and a half ago, because I had just left my corporate gig, sort of in December of 2017. And it came via one of my former clients, which was a large bank, here in Singapore. And they were basically doing their their beginning beginning of year kickoff. And they wanted to get an external perspective around disruption and how they would affect affect work, not just foot foot for their staff, but also how it would affect their clients in turn. So So yeah, that was January of 2018. Not very long ago at all. James Taylor I mean, and it's fantastic. Seeing how your career is really just kind of take off as well. And I was talking, I think, I was talking to a client the other day he was asked me to come and speak at an event. I said, What speakers have you? Have you booked before? And said, Oh, and this quote was actually in the UK, it's, you know, we've just actually booked this disgrace. Because, see and wrong. Who's speaking for isn't Singapore? Fantastic. That's great. It's great to hear that you hear us members, because your members or students or friends of yours again, getting things. And Su-Yen Wong so small world James Taylor is great, it's great. So so you're getting booked on all these, these different stages at the moment, can you tell us about a time when you were you you something just kind of happen, maybe they kind of put you a little bit of balance, maybe or maybe a worst moment you've had so far in your professional speaking career, Su-Yen Wong I can think of one specific incident, which is really unusual. So I had just come off a board meeting in Australia and I had to transfer in Singapore to fly to the Middle East. So I had a small window, and sort of two separate flights. And one of the things that I don't always do, but sometimes I do and since this incident, I've done a lot more was I log on to Wi Fi on the flight because sometimes you're busy doing other stuff. So I log into Wi Fi on the Singapore to Middle East leg. And an email had come in with from the conference organizers as a global conference for for the for the aviation industry. And basically, the conference organizer changed the spec, it was supposed to be a panel discussion, and somehow evolved into a series of individual presentations, and they wanted the four or five of us on the panel to each do an individual presentation. Okay, that's not what I expected. Fortunately, the flight from Singapore to the buoys is fairly long, right? So I was able to sort of, you know, first of all think about First of all, what what the other presenters are gonna be speaking about because of the a series of you, you don't want to be all speaking the same thing. So anticipate that a lot because I obviously couldn't reach them while I was in flight to sort of coordinate think of the key messages designed the slides and then practice and come up and practice the speech all while that air. So yeah, that was a rather unusual experience. James Taylor So thankfully, you have your previous PowerPoint presentations, or you know, your files on your on your laptop. Anyway. So it's a you had a basis from which to start from. Except, Su-Yen Wong yeah, Except that it was on the topic that I don't often speak about. Me, I mean, it's tangentially related, otherwise, they wouldn't have asked me to, to come on and join the conference. But it wasn't something I could sort of, you know, take and repurpose, I actually had to craft an entire thing. It was it was short, and it was like 15 minutes or something like that. So it wasn't, it wasn't a full blown, you know, typical 45 minute keynote. But nevertheless, but more of the story, make sure you have your laptop, your battery charger, on the flight, the images that you need on your laptop. And one of the things that I learned through multiple years in consulting is I'm actually pretty fluent in PowerPoint, and Keynote. So James Taylor you get very good at it. Su-Yen Wong Pretty self sufficient, which is, which is helpful. James Taylor And something else you've also been involved in, and especially in Singapore, Singapore is amazing place because you have so many great speakers there that use it as their hub to go and speak in other parts of the world. And something that you did was work on it on a book, you co authored a book with a number of other women speakers in I'm not sure if they were all in Singapore, or they were from all places. Yes. Su-Yen Wong I mean, MIT, several of us are from Singapore, but but the authors did come from two different countries, actually. James Taylor So tell tell us about the inception of that book. What was the idea from that book? And what did you find writing a co writing a book did for you and your speaking career? Su-Yen Wong Well, I don't take credit for the inception of a book that was actually crafted literally one morning over brunch, they were, you know, half a dozen women who are basically in the loop, the problem statement is this. And we unfortunately, still do see this happen when when you sort of see, you know, conferences that have you know, all a very male slate of speakers or you know, that the mammals as they would call them. And, and so it became an offshoot of an organization called called primetime, which is for for professional women, here locally. So the idea was, well, you know, how do we actually craft a book that can actually inspire as well as help women who need to speak in various situations, either professionally, but also, even if you're in a, in a corporate setting, you need to raise funds for a not for profit, or you need to convince your management team. Now there's a whole spectrum of reasons why one might need to speak. So from there was about curating a group of us there was 16 of us who came together to do this. And I got to say, the the takeaway that I got from that was, when you pull together a project with a common purpose, and you do it together, you can get so much done so quickly. Because we were writing it together, we could divvy up the work. And I think from inception to the time, we actually got the book in our hot little hands was probably around six months. James Taylor Now, I also created a lot of noise because I'm, you know, if someone's in either involved in the space of speaking, or if they're in Singapore, or if they're they're looking at to bring in a woman speaker and to speak at their event, suddenly, you had 12 people all talking about the same book, all these authorities are about the same. But and so I mean, I think it's a great idea. Because it creates this kind of crowding effect, that suddenly you're hearing it from multiple sources. Sometimes, often, when you hear things from like one source, you know that, you know, whatever is interesting, when you're hearing it, hearing a book from multiple sources, then you go, okay, maybe we should look at this a little bit further. it amplifies. Su-Yen Wong And I think in many ways, it's a bit like the virtual summits that you put on as well, right? When you when you bring together a large group of people, there's an amplification effect, which is great. I'm, you know, fairly convinced that none of us on our own would have been able to get something out number one in the time that we did. And number two, we were frankly, a little surprised that it made it so quickly onto the Amazon bestseller list, but again, that was to the power of having a large group behind it. So So yeah, it was good fun. James Taylor I don't know if sitting alongside that, because the other thing that's I've seen you've been involved in is this idea of the is the keynote, which is a women's speaker directory. So it was something that you involved in Section four, or was it something that just you just packed up? Su-Yen Wong So the book actually emanated from keynote. So that's the link between the two. So primetime was the organization that's that that's basically spawned keynote, and out of keynote, keynote supported this book, or the idea for this book came about, and then we brought the women together, to to craft the book. So I've been I've been part of the keynote directory, and as you may have heard, the directory has now gone global, is closed, right? So again, I take her a little credit for other than being an artist supporter. And I think together, we're all trying to make it, you know, as powerful and as compelling as it can be. But I think, you know, it takes a village right to kind of move any of these things. So I think each of us in our own way is trying to try to do that. James Taylor So I remember seeing a statistic A while back and hopefully about a year ago, when he looked about the gender I think it was probably meeting professionals international producers, this poor When he looked at the gender differentials across different types of events, what kind of speakers the higher? And I remember seeing that I think women are the only area that will more women get booked than men for conferences is around fundraising events, there seems to be. So it was like 70% of women and 30% men. But then as you start to look, and they broke it down by type of conference, as you start to look at, for example, financial services, conferences, it was like, I mean, I don't even know if it was on the scale, and it might have been like, 5% maximum. Technology, right. Technology. Exactly. So I mean, obviously, I'm and so I have to say this, I can, I obviously benefit from from this from from speaker from organizers, of conferences, but but it kind of, it kind of blows my mind a little bit as to what was going on. And, and I had a conversation a while back with pickiness Chavarria of power women of NSA, and I was saying no. So for me, I'm like, treat me as a as, as a little bit of an outsider, like, okay, what's going on? Why is that it cannot just be obvious. You know, people just not booking speakers, because they're women speakers, it can just be as simple as simplistic as that. And she says, and, you know, the interesting thing that she said to me is, she said, you know, part of it is a function of who is writing the books, the nonfiction books. And often it's it's a lot of nonfiction books have been in the business world have been written by men. And a lot of the reviewers are men. So that those books that doesn't get talked about in Forbes and fortune and things, so you've got that going on. But she said, The other thing that's going on, on her was that, let's see, if you have a call for speakers for a particular event, you will get 100 guys who all think they're absolutely perfect. And the ideal speaker for this event, you may have 100 women who are equally as perfect for this event, but only 10 of them will come forward and put put their name forward, as well. And, and, again, one of the things that the power of NSA is like trying to just encourage women to put themselves forward, you know, that give, build that confidence. Go for that go for that get you should be on that, on that. mainstage. So, I mean, from what you've seen as someone that's actually living it and having to inhabit this and dealing with every single day. what some of the things that are going on there. What Why are these biases? Why are we seeing it so squinted? Su-Yen Wong You know, I haven't thought about the one about books. But that actually makes a lot of sense to me. But the one that the second point that you made around who puts their hand up, I think is definitely quite prevalent. And, and the analogy that I draw to this is around women in leadership roles. So whether you look at it in terms of women, at C suite, or women in the boardroom, very, very similar symptoms manifest themselves. And and it has to do with, like you said, you know, it's a bit stereotypical, but nevertheless, stereotypes there are there because because there's a little bit of truth to them, which is that, you know, somebody will look at the job description for a particular role. And most, many men will basically say, Well, you know, I fully fulfill seven out of 10, that's pretty good, you know, so I think I'm qualified. And women say, Well, I only fulfill seven out of 10. And so I therefore she put my hand up for it. So So I think it holds true for speaking as well. And part of the reason for getting this book out there effect to unleash your voice was to really encourage more women to to put up their hand and give it a shot. So in fact, last night, four of the women who were co authors of the book, she ran the first masterclass, and I think it was sold out, within a very short period of time, to a group of I think about 60 women to try and again, encourage and build the momentum in the space. So one step at a time. But that's the idea. James Taylor But it can also change pretty quickly in terms of I was at an event recently listening to a professor, Professor Sue black. She's a leading forensic anthropologist, which is not really is a real is a really interesting so she goes into former war zones, and when they have to defend these mass graves and identify these people as mass graves, very interesting job anyway. So what she was saying is, you said lots of areas of science are quite masculine. But the world of forensics, strangely enough, is heavily dominated by by a woman. And I'm not saying in terms of women in Virginia, but the very most senior positions are women. And she thinks that part of that is the role model piece, that if I switch on TV, you know, all these I'm not a big fan of movies, forensic TV shows like cop shows that the forensic scientist is usually a woman on these things, and Su-Yen Wong cultural norm. James Taylor So he said, it's kind of interesting. Just having that having those role models and showing those role models, especially in the media, that it becomes like, Well, yeah, that makes makes absolute sense. So I guess what we need to be doing is just getting more women getting on their stages. So when we look at those, you know, the lineup of speakers, those keynote speakers at that tech conference without financial services conference, you know, that there's there's mobile, which gives more other women encouragement to come and take on those roles. Su-Yen Wong Yeah, you mentioned a really interesting point about scientists. So there's been some research done, where the researchers were asking children to draw a scientist. And when children are sort of remember the specifics around the age of five, in a roughly equal numbers of them drawn a girl or boy sciences, or male or female scientists, but as they get older, that percentage switches, right. And so I think a lot of it is incorporates the point that you're making, which is around how do you see role models out there? And some of the social conditioning that's, that's, that's prevalent. So yeah, let's get more diversity on the stages so that we can break this catch 22. James Taylor Now you speak about the future of work. And which is a big area, obviously, a really hot topic area just now. What's your How do you kind of stand out? Because there's obviously lots of speakers that speak on this topic of future work? What is your unique take to make art, you know, cn is the person that we need to book to kind of speak on this event about the future of work. Su-Yen Wong So I think on one spectrum, from a future of work perspective, there are speakers that talk a lot about the deep technology, let's just call it that, where I come at it from is much more around how does this impact organizations and individuals? So given what's happening in terms of technology, and how that's impacting work? How does that change how the way organizations need to think about either their, their culture, their leadership, their organization structure, the way they think about careers the way to think about people development so forth? Or and or sometimes it happens, both at the same speech. What does it mean for individuals as they think about how to manage their own careers, reinvent themselves, as well as have the right mindset. So it's very much about taking the human dimension into the future of work. James Taylor And how people are learning mostly about your you and your speaking programs, because obviously, you've been so known as a person in the boardroom of organizations, how you can are getting the word out there, and attracting potential clients to book you as a speaker. Su-Yen Wong I would say there probably would break it down into three pillars. The first pillar is I've been fortunate to work with a number of speaker bureaus. So working with speakers connected home, they're working with another speaker Bureau in Europe, and another one in the US out of DC. So sort of three continents, different speaker bureaus and obviously so that's that's one stream through which engagements come through. The second pillar, I would say is previous clients, I've been very fortunate to work with mostly large organizations over the past 20 or so years. And so that's drawing in my network contacts and then and then the third pillar really is a lot of the work that I've been trying to do in terms of you know, I think we talked about how you use social media and LinkedIn and things like that and and I actually have received and I do receive inquiries through some of that activity online as well. So you know, three three different courses I would say James Taylor and is one particular social media platform you find works better for you than than others. LinkedIn, LinkedIn is one Su-Yen Wong for me LinkedIn works works the most effectively. I should say that there was a fourth pillar but I but I, I didn't focus on it because I think relative to the others so far hasn't been a huge source yet is other speakers James Taylor Yeah, it's a funny one really the other speakers because I'm in for example, today and inquiry came in and and i'm not available for this particular date. And I was I was thinking about it and I've seen like, Who's the right speaker for this one is quite well known client and and I've worked with this client and other other their other offices in the world. And you know what, I couldn't think of a particular speak on this area that they were really looking for. And in the end, I just, I'm going to I'll end up giving it to a bureau actually, because they have a much this seeing these speakers all the time and I think me as a speaker, I'm lucky if I get to see Maybe 10 professional speakers a year, you certainly see them up on stage. And I am very reticent about recommending a speaker unless I've, I've actually seen them on stage. Yeah, yeah. Su-Yen Wong So so that one I think doesn't happen quite as often. But I've done it both ways. I've had people recommend me. And I've also recommended speakers when I like, as you just rightly described, not available that particular day. But yeah, it's, it's, sometimes sometimes I think it's just, you just don't know, right? Because it's a topic in your space. Or maybe it's a topic that's completely foreign to the space on that. So I'm not the best person to recommend someone else. But I do think that some of the support, for example, here in Singapore apss, that's a pretty good community. Some of us I think, have, you know, basically say, hey, there's this thing going on, and you know, anybody in that space? So so some speakers actually have put up a couple of opportunities, and sort of shared that around? James Taylor Where in terms of in Southeast Asia, where are you finding that's exciting just now in terms of speaking opportunities? I hear that Singapore is a very mature market for speakers but there's a healing Vietnam, there's a lot of things going on. There's different terror countries that are seem to be really growing fast at the moment. Su-Yen Wong Yeah, I've spoken in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, I find Vietnam and the Philippines, very receptive. Partly because I think in those particular markets, there's a there's a huge pent up demand for for people who can basically put in whatever, whatever the domain, right, so I do find those two markets at the moment. Like James Taylor I haven't spoken in Philippines yet. But all of our friends probably got lots of mutual friends in the Philippines, other speakers and learners of this world and, and every one of my teams in the Philippines, I shouldn't be speaking in the Philippines. But everyone told me the Philippines audiences have very, you know, exuberant types of audiences when you compare them to other parts of the world. Su-Yen Wong Yes, very warm. So then in Vietnam to but but in a slightly different way. I mean, Vietnam, I think it's just a very entrepreneurial kind of a dynamic. So everyone is really hungry, you know, really keen to absorb, you know, best practices and knowledge learnings around the world. Philippines, I think is just a very, it's a very warm culture. And like you, like you said, you do a session there. And after the session, people will be, you know, coming up to you and mobbing you and in the way that they don't in some other Asian countries, which are much more culturally reserved. James Taylor Now, you're also in addition to going out the speaking being on your boards, you obviously take you this idea of self care, looking after yourself, you know, goes, you know, you're the Mom, you're I think of training for Kilimanjaro, you're training for base camp Everest base camp at the moment. So how do you in your busy schedule? How do you make time to do the training must be a huge amount of hours to go into the training to do those types of expeditions? Su-Yen Wong Well, it's never been on the bucket list. I'm a very normal person as far as physical activity does. But we're doing it for charity. It's to support mental health. And one of the charities here and and part of its really come out of the conviction that in many corporates, there's an increasing focus and attention being being placed on on the need for mental health, stress and corporate pressures, and all that. But at the same time, that mental health, I think, is something that's going to affect you, but it will touch all of us in some way. Right? Whether it's a child with autism, or whether it's a parent with Alzheimer's, or whether it's sort of you know, stress and depression, the entire spectrum. And particularly, I think, in in in Asia and Singapore, it's not as well advanced in terms of awareness. So that's the reason why we're doing it. It's not because I'm any particularly super athletically inclined, in fact, my friends who have found out that I'm doing the best, because if you really Oh, yeah. So as a consequence, it's just really about putting putting the discipline into it. So the combination of runs and lots of climbing of stairs. So yeah, we're up to about 250 floors these days. It's only once a week, but essentially, I think we need to get up to twice to twice a week. James Taylor Amazing. Well, I wish you all the great success with that as well. A couple of final questions start to finish up here. I'd love to know I'm going to put you on a, an imaginary long haul flight. Thankfully, thankfully, a lot of you do a lot of those I know. But thankfully, I'm not gonna make you. I'm not gonna tell you just put you on the flight. You have to go and give a presentation it won't expect to give you when you land. But on this imaginary flight sitting next to you, is any speaker, author, thought leader living or dead. That you could just basically sit and have a conversation with her on that long haul flight. Who would you like to be on that flight with Obama. Su-Yen Wong He is. And I think it's interesting for two reasons. One as a leader, but second as a speaker, and I think he blends both of those dimensions very, very compellingly, regardless of your political extraction, right? I think that when you look at somebody as a speaker as being able to connect, convey, and, you know, as a speaker, when you look at somebody like him delivering, at least I think there are a lot of hours that have gone into that delivery. Right. And I think, you know, speakers, you sort of appreciate how that comes across, and how that comes to be so. So yeah, to two parts of it. One is sort of just I think that'd be a lot of interesting stories from the job perspective, right, you know, the job. But then the second part of it is just as a really compelling speaker, I think he'd be great fun to sit next to. James Taylor Great, so you're going to be on them, we're gonna have your secret service agents, either side of you. So glad you have that conversation? What about what is in your your speaker bag? What isn't that bag that you carry with you to all of your various speaking engagements with your gadgets and bits and pieces that you never leave home without. Su-Yen Wong There's the extended back. And then there's the small kids, the small kids very simple, I carry a multipurpose adapter. That's basically got connectors into USB, HDMI, VGA, just because you never quite know, the venue that going to even if you've got sort of pre agreed the connections that you need, sometimes they don't have them. So I like having that I bring my own clicker. And that's sort of the basic that if I didn't have anything else, those two things I would need to need to have with me. The other thing that I'm just about to pick up is one of those tiny little video DJI DJI video cams about the size. So that's in the acquisition, James Taylor because I'll be looking forward to all these all these videos from your life on the road and then speaking and traveling that you're you're doing. I'm not sure if they're working. I'm not sure if it's gonna work at high altitude ever. So maybe you may have to test to find out, we're gonna find out exactly what but if you were to recommend one book to our audience, it could be a book on the no one of your books about the future work or speaking or topic you think more people should be reading and thinking about just now. What would that book be? Hmm. Su-Yen Wong Well, me, I am finding some of the work by Dorie Clark, very interesting. From the standpoint of reinvention, so I think she's come at it from that perspective. But also think just as someone who has come out and herself reinvented a couple of times, she also speaks she's a she also writes quite extensively, and also has, I think, done a really great job at scaling her own business. So multiple dimensions, check a few things off. So so so let's say one of one of her, one of her pieces would be James Taylor my recommendation. And warband online tool or app or mobile app, for example, would you find very useful for doing the work you do? Su-Yen Wong Gosh, um, well, I work up keynote. So so it's actually pretty simple. I work of all all the all the apple tools. But in addition to that, I, you know, I would say business wise, zero invoice Lee, I run all of them through cloud apps. So yeah, it's sort of a full suite of cloud based apps that I use, also also use some of the collaboration tools like Asana, with my team, as well. James Taylor And I want you to imagine now, that tomorrow morning, you wake up, and you have to start from scratch yet start at the start again, you've got all the skills or the knowledge you've acquired over the years, but no one knows you, you know, no one, what would you do? How would you restart things? Su-Yen Wong So imagine I landed like in Timbuktu, right? James Taylor Anywhere Timbuktu, if you would, you've actually been, I think you're probably the only person who's been Su-Yen Wong to prison, I guess, the first thing I would do is, I would reach out to my network to understand the landscape of the market. Because I do find that you know, wherever you plop yourself down, whether it's, you know, Singapore, New York or London, there is a different dynamic, you know, just the way decisions are made a little bit different. The market context is different. So the first thing we do really get a lay of the land to get an understanding of the landscape, really, really important. But beyond an understanding what the landscape is to further expand my my circle of influence. So I suppose to this day and age, we're all sort of two or three degrees. Separation which is great people did this 50 years ago. But so step one reach out to to my network. Second, I would then work on building social proof either through this network and or through social media. We talked about that earlier I have found that to be quite effective. And then finally just get out there and engage with with potential clients. no substitute for that right just actually getting out there and meeting new people and building from scratch James Taylor and talking about connecting where's the best place people to go to learn more about you your work, your your keynote programs, everything that you've got going on just now. Su-Yen Wong Just check out my website www.suyenwong.com as James Taylor well. So yeah, it's a pleasure speaking to you today.

She faces the challenge of systemic racism in America and looks for answers to eliminate its cause and effect. Angie shares why it is important as a political leader to have a deeper conversation about racism in order to truly lead. “I am a white woman of privilege, I realized that I’ve been complacent and complicit in perpetuating racism. I asked myself “what role can/should I play in facilitating change”.? “How do we have, honest discussions about racism?” “How do I have these sensitive and meaningful discussions with my black friends?” “How do I approach these conversations from a position of trust?” “As a political leader how do I help my community become more whole and just?” Answering these questions are critical. So, Angie and I discuss Six Key Points: What drove her to run for office - and why now?  Her feelings about Divisiveness in our Country / Texas How to take ownership of the fact that my White Privilege has perpetuated Racism?   Why is it important for women to run for office? How can my candidacy help advance African Americans and the underserved in Texas/Country? Why is Voting THE power of the public As a state rep., Angie’s vision would be for the legislature to get to a place where, our leaders fight to support the values we believe in, while passionately fighting for solutions that will put ALL people over politics.  Angie Bado For District 70, Texas House of Representatives https://badofortexas.com/
