Aspire Workshop with Inkmason

We were so excited to have another workshop with Inkmason this year, and with this group of architects and designers, we started the workshop by this introduction -- “Yes, I'm a designer too. I help others achieve their goals and life plans. Why do I need someone else to help me achieving my own life goal? Well, have you experienced the worst time ever in your life? I have! In fact, I have failed so many times. Life is full of challenges, surprises, full of obstacles that we

Discover Your Potential

We have been collaborating with Inkmason for years and this time they are ready to do something different and very inspiring - a team Brain Map. We use PRISM - a neuroscience based assessment tool - to map out the team's highest, lowest and average behaviour preferences. By knowing each other's collaboration styles and communication preferences, we can work so much easier and more efficient in such a dynamic team setting. The team had a lot and a lot of discussion, and a lot

Tips - How to ask to build trust?

Last year, I designed a Team Development Program for Inkmason, Beijing "From Strive to Stride", and one of the topics was about How to talk with your team member. It sounds like a very basic day to day communication skill, but a lot of managers and leaders find it difficult to start a conversation when he/she needs to coach a team member in a project or a task : How do you build up a trusting, human relationship, in a business-to-business context? What kind of questions shoul

Managing Time Workshop with Inkmason

This is our 4th workshop with this amazing group of young people at Inkmason in Beijing since last December. I really appreciate Kin, Director of Inkmason, for the determination of investment in his own team. I can actually see the development and growth of the team and that is the best feedback to our work. This workshop is not really about managing TIME, but about managing LIFE, because time is what we have in our lives and we need to manage it well. An introduction of Step

Owning Challenges as Our Responsibilities Workshop with Inkmason

"Owning Challenges as Our Responsibilities" is always challenging in any organization. This is a big topic. In fact, this topic is the second priority that the team picked after "Communication" during the Let's Strive Team Building Workshop last year. Also check out Inkmason's post about this workshop! The objective of this workshop is to let the team share their true concerns and feelings about challenges and difficult situations at workplace, and find a way to own and solve

I just started my journey - Tao

Tao Ou, Office Manager of Inkmason (Beijing), joined this program to explore his strengths and development areas, just like how he explored the world around before from China to Europe and back to China again. The PRISM report may surprise and inspire him on how he perceived himself before, yet it also shows that Tao is a very supportive team player and collaborator who always shows warmth and caring to the others. Thank you for the sharing Tao! Join the program. #prism #succ
