A relaxed, real-talk space for professionals who want to sharpen their thinking, grow their skills, and share what works.
We believe that better thinking leads to better doing—and whether you're early in your career or a seasoned leader, there's always room to level up.
This group is for anyone who wants to explore practical tools that improve how we communicate, make decisions, lead others, and manage ourselves.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗨𝗽 ?
Each session, we explore a specific framework, mental model, or thinking tool—such as the Minto Pyramid Principle, Decision Quality, SCQA, 5 Whys, or OKRs etc
You’ll learn:
-What the tool is
-Why it works
-How to apply it to real work and life situations
This will be followed by group discussions, practical exercises, or breakout conversations, sharing of resources/book recommendations—because learning happens best when we exchange experiences and make connections, not just slides
We're always on the look-out for volunteers - drop me a note if you have an idea to share and would like to facilitate a session !

- Frame It Before You Fix It : Why Good Problem Definition Matters !Bugis MRT exit A, Singapore
### What’s This About?
When problem solving - teams can fall into the trap of jumping straight into “fix” mode - only to discover later that they solved the wrong problem. This is why good problem definition matters !
In this session, we show you why slowing things down at the start can help you speed up later.

Here's what to expect. You will be :
- Collaborating in fixed small groups from start to finish
- Applying each step to a shared fictional case study
- Iteratively building a shared understanding of the problem using tools like 5-Whys , Empathy Maps and How Might We questions
