Womenlines is delighted to start a series ‘Go Green Campaign’ to create awareness among womenfolk to adopt conservation of the environment as a part of their lifestyle! This month Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) has shared a list of items indicating that which one is supposed to be placed in the recycling bin and which one not!

MEWR has designated 2019 as the Year Towards Zero Waste. They want to rally Singaporeans to treasure their resources and make it a habit to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. You can find out more about our Zero Waste Vision at www.towardszerowaste.sg

Facts-(credit https://www.towardszerowaste.sg/zero-waste-nation/)

1. In Singapore, waste disposed of has increased seven-fold over the past 40 years. About 7.7 million tonnes of waste was generated in 2017. This amount is enough to fill 15,000 Olympic-size swimming pools!
2. Every day, about 79% of our domestic waste generated will be incinerated at one of our four waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration plants. However, the more waste we incinerate, the higher our carbon footprint – this contributes to global warming and climate change.
3. Semakau Landfill is Singapore’s one and only landfill. It receives more than 2,000 tonnes of WTE incineration ash and non- incinerable waste daily. At our current rate of waste growth, Semakau Landfill will run out of space by 2035.

How will Singapore achieve  Zero Waste vision?

Singapore will adopt a circular economy approach to sustainable waste and resource management. Singapore will strive to close the waste loop, just like how they have closed the water loop by recycling water endlessly!

Womenlines wants to request the readers to have a look at the list and get mindful about what they are placing in the Recycling Bin!

Womenlines takes pleasure to share about the book ‘The Intelligent Leader’, by @JohnMattone (the world’s top executive coach), which brings the insights and tools that are usually reserved for only the top echelon of the business world right into your lap. Womenlines proudly presents the Interview with the legend John Mattone where he is sharing about the secrets from his upcoming book ‘The Intelligent Leader’!

John Mattone is widely considered the world’s top executive coach and is globally respected for his ability to ignite and strengthen a leader’s inner self and talents. Since 2017, he has been ranked by Global Gurus as one of the top three coaching authorities in the world, alongside Tony Robbins and Marshall Goldsmith. John is the creator of the unique, powerful, and game-changing Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching program. Using this program over the past 20 years, John has personally coached more than 250 top business leaders, including 25 global CEOs, to help them become stronger, more effective, and vibrant leaders. John served as the executive coach to the late Steve Jobs, as well as to the former, legendary CEO of PepsiCo, Roger Enrico. In 2015, John’s leadership system was named one of the top three Advanced Leadership Development Programs in the world, alongside the work of John Maxwell and Tony Robbins. The author of nine books, John has written three bestsellers: Talent Leadership, Intelligent Leadership, and Cultural Transformations: Lessons of Leadership and Corporate Reinvention.

John has found a solution to the “leadership gap” that so many in today’s business world (and beyond) are facing, and he’s developed an approach that cuts right to the core of what holds leaders and aspiring leaders back from greatness. It’s what has made him the world’s top executive coach and what has drawn Fortune 500 CEOs—from the late Steve Jobs to PepsiCo’s Roger Enrico—to seek his counsel.

In the book, John guides you through his 7 dimensions of Intelligent Leadership, using a variety of real-world examples, tools, and assessments:

1. Thinking Differently, Thinking Big
2. The Vulnerability Decision
3. Having a Mindset of Entitlement versus a Mindset of Duty
4. Leveraging Your Gifts and Addressing Your Gaps
5. Having the Courage to Execute with Pride, Passion, and Precision
6. Staying Present and Being Vigilant
7. Course Correction

Series 2 Talk on the topic ‘Women Empowerment’ by Founder Womenlines Charu Mehrotra at Bringle Academy

Women Empowerment is defined as a process by which a woman becomes aware of her visions and goals and work towards achieving them in life. To my understanding mindset plays a huge role in strengthening women empowerment. Womenfolk should not take women empowerment only to work and earn but they should be empowering themselves through growth mindset also!

I want to emphasize friends, use the power of mindset in your favour!

Have you seen kids playing pretend and play? Some kids become batman, some become superman. Some play like doctor and patient, some even student and teacher games. While playing they are fully in that role and thinking like the character they are playing. We, adults, know that it is not real but don’t you think friends if actually, we want to become something in life we can follow the footsteps of the women leaders. We love to follow celebrities, the way they wear clothes, the way they do makeup, why don’t we push ourselves to have women leaders as our role models. There is so much to learn from them and achieve in life.

Here comes a very important role in mindest friends. Many of you will say what is the need of having a growth mindset. We are happy where we are. But you don’t realize friends world around you is changing. If you will not put efforts now to change yourself it will be difficult for you later.

I am listing down 10 ways of how a growth mindset can help you-

1. A growth mindset will help you to gain confidence as you will be much aware of yourself, your vision.
2. You will start working with mindfulness and that will help you to deliver your work a much better way.
3. A growth mindset can make you responsible for yourself. It will help you to understand yourself better and you will be fully aware of what vision goal you want to achieve in your life.
4. If you are a parent you can set an example in front of your kids and teach them the right values.
5. You will start taking challenges as opportunities to learn in life.
6. You will stop seeking approval from others
7. You will cultivate a sense of purpose
8. You will start portraying criticism as positive
9. You will take responsibility for your attitude
10. You will start taking the risk in life!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an international campaign which aims at increasing awareness about the second most common cancer in women, to someday stop it. Throughout the month Womenlines will be sharing very informative interviews, articles, and information about various webinars to empower viewers and readers with knowledge related to prevention of cancer.

It is pleasure today to share the interview with an amazing fighter who is not only a breast cancer thriver for last 8 years but also is a cancer coach and teaching people how to prevent cancer or thrive with cancer.

Welcome Anju Kurien at Womenlines ‘Health is Wealth’ show. Anju has valuable knowledge which she wants to share across the world. Anju Kurien is also a Cancer Coach under Cancer Awakens ( founded by Vijay Bhat) organisation which supports the daunting journey from ‘victim’ to ‘survivor’, to ‘cancer-thriver’, via a Holistic & Integrated approach to healing!

1) When were you diagnosed with breast cancer and how did you find out? 

I had a distinct lump in my breast and was pushed by husband with help from my sister to get myself checked. I was behaving like an Ostrich and hoping it would disappear. This was in October of 2011.

 2)What form of treatment did you receive? 

The protocol defined for me was the first Chemo (as my cancer had metastasised in the Liver and the Doctors wanted to reduce and eliminate as many of the cancer cells with Chemo) This was followed by Radical Mastectomy of the left breast. Followed by 25 cycles of Radiation. Post the 8 cycles of Chemo I was administered 12 doses of Herceptin once a month and Zoladex injections for 6 months. 

3) How has breast cancer impacted your life over the years? 

Losing a body part just makes you realise what a beautiful piece of machinery has been created where every part has an important role to play. Today its a reminder of my neglecting my inner self.

4) Are you still taking some medicine? 

Yes, I am on 20mg of tamoxifen daily!

5) What helped you to keep your spirits up and gave you support? 

Support and unconditional love from family and friends. Accepting all advice as good advice and embracing them wholeheartedly.

6) Must to follow tips for womenfolk based on your learning journey as a thriver!

•       Take one day at a time 
•       Understand and acknowledge your stressors 
•       Love yourself  
•       Meditate 
•       Embrace life

“I have found the MLEI to be an accurate measure of a leader’s inner-core maturity as it isolates strengths and gifts that need to be leveraged as well as the weaknesses that need to be addressed. Problems with leadership almost always boil down to immaturity. But the great news is, immaturity can be addressed and overcome once you know where it resides and what it looks like. Based on my leadership enneagram, the nine-pointed diagram that dates back to ancient Babylon, the MLEI helps a person chart their own (or someone else’s) thinking patterns, emotional make-up and feelings, and provides an accurate picture of someone’s overall inner-core maturity. There are three basic leader trait combinations, each of which is further subdivided into three subtypes. We all operate in all three trait combinations and we all possess each one of the nine traits. The most important questions for a leader, however, are: (1) which trait is my most active or predominant trait? and (2) how mature are each of my nine traits and how mature am I overall?

Knowing which of your traits are more active than the others is important, but so is understanding the thoughts and behaviours that can derail you. The person who knows these things stays true to himself or herself, and can often get back on track when derailing attitudes or actions arise.”- John Mattone

Womenlines is delighted to welcome Danielle and Agy, founder of ‘Green Collective’ the coolest eco-friendly shop in Singapore, as guests in the ‘Entrepreneur of the Month’ show at Womenlines. In present times ‘Go Green’ attitude is really catching up and Green Collective is giving an opportunity to shop so many varieties of eco-friendly products which are made with care, under one roof. Visitors can also check out the series of workshops from soap and accessory making to parent-child creative sessions at the outlet. Listen and read about the interesting entrepreneurial journey of the founders in their own words-

1. Please share with our readers a little bit about yourself?

Danielle: Originally from Quebec, Canada, Danielle has been living in Asia for over 20 years and 12 in SG. A primary school teacher for most of her life, she decided to venture into sustainable entrepreneurship in her 40s after facing some health challenges. All the personal changes made daily resulted in a greatly improved quality of the file. As a teacher, she knows how education is a key factor in changing mass habits and mindsets and The Green Collective’s mission to “Make Sustainability Mainstream” is an extension of her convictions and experience. Not only being more conscious of our daily choices have a direct impact on our personal lives and people around us, but it also goes a long way in improving the conditions of everyone involved in the production along the way.

Agy: Agatha Lee “Agy” is a textile artist specialising in embroidery based in Singapore. She was born in England and grew up in Hong Kong where she spent her childhood making daisy chains and walking in the hills. She was previously working as an environmental policymaker in the National Environmental Agency before embarking on a career in environmental education through art. Her previous life as a policymaker has enabled her to bridge the gap between nature and art and has encouraged her to create works to reconnect people with the environment.

2. So when did you started this venture and what inspired or motivated you to take a plunge into this venture?

The idea of The Green Collective SG was conceptualized over networking between green business owners, Danielle Champagne, Mayur Singh and Agatha Lee “Agy” in March 2018. While coming from different backgrounds and different countries, the common challenge faced by the 3 of us was that small brands focused on sustainability find it tough to be financially sustainable. With a vision to make sustainability mainstream, The Green Collective SG was set up as a one-stop space for consumers to find green alternatives to their everyday products. We also wanted to ensure that this business should be run by the community and therefore created a unique business model which is run like a rural cooperative and is based on sharing principle. Each brand within the collective contributes to, in some form or the other – by being a cashier for a few hours in a month, providing digital marketing services or any other expertise you can bring to help the Collective run smoothly.

We first set up in April 2018 as a pop-up in Payar Lebar with just 15 local eco-friendly brands, and in a matter of 6 months, we grew to over 30 brands. Today, The Collective has over 45 brands occupying more 2,600 sq ft at the centrally located FUNAN mall. CapitaLand has been very cooperative and our great partnership with them is one of the keys to our successful expansion. What’s even more exciting is that we are possibly the first-ever retail concept globally, to be curated based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The 17 Goals are the basis of the sustainability and each brand in Funan is linked to two or more of these goals.

3. Can you share with us some of the challenges you faced during your initial days?

-Setting up an entire shop with no budget at all. We dumpster-dived a bit, brought stock from home etc
-Managing the different expectations of so many people was challenging
-Keeping everything fair and streamlined. (space allocation, location within the shop etc)

4. So how do you balance your personal and professional life?

Danielle: Ah! THE question! Some days we just feel like we don’t! As a business owner, you can never disconnect 100% and always need to be available just in case. But our sanity needs to take time “off”. Be it just turning the phone to silent for a few hours and do whatever is making us feel good. For me, I spend family time, exercise, run with my dog, connect with friends and trying to get back into piano.
Agy: I wear many hats – partner, parent, textile artist and co-founder of The Green Collective SG, so I find it important to have chunks of quiet time to myself so that I can reset my mind! Having quiet time enables me to focus and commit to both business and personal life. I’m also very grateful to have a supportive husband and family!

5. What would you suggest to other aspiring women who want to venture out on their own?

-It’s a tough world out there but with passion, perseverance, flexibility and patience, we can do it all!
A bit of humility is necessary too in my opinion. Entrepreneurship can be quite lonely and learning how to accept our limits is what will help the most. We cannot be good at everything and asking for help with what we are not so good at will save you lots of time and keep you sane. We all wish to be able to do it all to save money but often, an investment in efficient help may be what makes the business grow or die.

6. Is there any person who has mentored/supported/inspired you?

Danielle: my 2 co-founders. We are a very different trio and we had to learn how to work with each other but they truly inspire me every day.
Agy: Same! My co-founders and the people who run the brands at The Green Collective SG. They are a passionate bunch of people, and being around them keeps me going!

7. What do you have in the pipeline for your venture’s future development?
We are working on a few sideline growth projects that will help us with our goal to Make Sustainability Mainstream… stay tuned!

Womenlines is delighted to be a Digital Media Partner for Women’s International Networking (WIN) Conference at Athens. Grab the golden opportunity to nurture the Leader within you at the WIN Conference at Athens from 2-4 (5) October 2019!

The Global WINConference, a pioneering women’s leadership forum, is one of the world’s leading learning and development experiences. The world is still not an equal and inclusive place and we believe it could be.

The UN is referring to gender equality and women and girls’ empowerment in their SDG5 and we are doing our part to reach that goal. The WINConference has an ambitious vision to transform the world, companies and individuals in an authentic, feminine and global way. WIN looks at how to run companies that prosper, where people flourish and the planet thrives. Participants will network with purpose, passion and pleasure, while getting up to speed on a wide range of topics ranging from the future of work, AI, the circular economy to inclusion, resilience, organisational creativity and feminine leadership. They will meet women in STEM, business and the arts while learning how to tap into their inner power and make things happen – at work, in the world, and in their lives. There is no balance between the feminine and masculine in the world, whether in politics, business, society or our own lives. This imbalance has consequences to the planet, to organizations and to human well-being. It doesn’t need to stay that way.

We all see that the world is polarizing; it is clear that women’s natural voices and contributions have never been more important. Join WIN Conference in Athens as we step up as awake, empowered and inspired women and men and create new ways of living, working and leading in the world. Through plenary sessions, working forums, workshops and mindful networking sessions, you will enhance your life and propel your work to an entirely new place.

Join to expand your mind, join to enrich your soul, and join to become part of a powerful network of influence!
