[H2] Hear From Our Participants

SINGAPORE BUSINESS LEADERS PROGRAMME

I am really glad that I took the time off to attend this programme. This might be the best programme that I have attended so far. I speak genuinely from the heart. I think the way the whole programme has been organised, the kind of speakers that we saw, and the themes are just so overwhelming. Best of all, I got to meet many talented and like-minded individuals from all over the world. These will become my new friends.

HR LEADERS PROGRAMME

It was a fruitful and meaningful experience. The hybrid approach of virtual and in-person sessions balanced both flexibility and face-to-face interaction. I’ve made many friends and extended my network to learn from each other even after the programme.​
​
The content was also thoughtfully curated and useful frameworks were introduced. It stretched me to think about topics that had not crossed my mind and added to my repertoire of tools that I can apply to my work.

SINGAPORE BUSINESS LEADERS PROGRAMME

Initially I was a little bit worried, many of them are actually very senior leaders, even the top leadership in their organisations. But I was told to come here with a very open mind, to take this as an opportunity for me as someone who is in their stage of life now where having the benefit of a very protected environment, peers who have been in the same phase of life that I have been, to learn from them. The course has really opened up my mind to what are some of the opportunities there are, and the experiences that people have had. I think some of the common experiences that we share make me feel that I'm not alone in this leadership journey. Everyone, if given the opportunity, must come and attend SBLP.

SINGAPORE BUSINESS LEADERS PROGRAMME

It's been a really unique experience to be able to take time out to really immerse in self-development, self-reflection, and I've been really appreciative and grateful for the opportunity to be at the SBLP. It's been absolutely fantastic!

SINGAPORE BUSINESS LEADERS PROGRAMME

I really thank everybody for their generosity in their sharing and i'm very confident that the generosity will extend beyond the programme through friendships and through additional sharing as we continue on this network of HCLI-SBLP.

SINGAPORE BUSINESS LEADERS PROGRAMME

SBLP has brought me an opportunity to network with other people. My favourite thing about SBLP has really been about the panel discussions. It's at least three different panelists sharing different views, ideas, experiences, and putting it together in the context of Asia. So many learnings from the panel discussions.

YOUNG LEADERS PROGRAMME

The Young Leaders Programme was one of the most enriching and fun programs I’ve attended!

The speakers and content were excellent, but what truly set it apart was how the classes were designed to make the learning stick. From roleplaying difficult conversations to gamified challenges, every activity brought leadership concepts to life and gave us a chance to apply them immediately. Interacting with peers at a similar stage of their leadership journey made me more reflective about my own growth and inspired me to lead with greater intention.

TECHNOLOGY LEADERS PROGRAMME

My favourite part about the TLP is how well-designed the topics and speakers are in terms of strategic thinking as well as business acumen, along with storytelling, stakeholder management, and communication. All of these are highly suitable for us tech leaders. For instance, there was a case study about the bike company Trek, which was absolutely brilliant as a holistic case study that encouraged us tech leaders to think more broadly.

TECHNOLOGY LEADERS PROGRAMME

What set this programme apart for me was how it specifically recognised that people in technology can be slightly different from those in other business functions. With this level of awareness built into the programme, I was able to engage in conversations with participants from various areas of technology leadership. This experience was particularly meaningful to me, as we shared many perspectives, habits, and ways of thinking.

TECHNOLOGY LEADERS PROGRAMME

The part of TLP that explored agility in organisations really opened my mind. Viewing agility as a mindset, the techniques, thought processes, and effective ways to collaborate with one’s team that were taught during the programme proved incredibly useful to me. As today’s tech leaders need to be far more well-rounded, they must understand how their businesses operate beyond just the technological aspects.
