Half of 2010 is over. Since we have the magic WAND, what will our second half be like?

We have several interesting engagements committed for the rest of 2010.

Remember the goals we set at the beginning of the year? (see here for Jan homepage message) Here is our update:

1. Mental health and resilience
For the Singapore Navy, we are starting a new programme for their youngest leaders, to equip them with the mental strength to lead themselves and then others.

2. Women Leadership Development
We are delighted to be to be serving Credit Suisse IT Women’s Council, and thus delivering several learning sessions on women’s career development.

3. My blog www.wendywand.wordpress.com
So far, I have had more than 1800 hits. Modest and growing, with feedback that I am authentic, inspiring and touching with my honest sharing on marriage (even sex), leadership and parenthood.

We are also expanding our reach to Indonesia and Vietnam now, with engagements starting in July to help organisations there develop their leaders.

In the schools, we are now the facilitator for “Fathers for Life” Programme at Tanjong Katong Girls’ School. By end of the year, we will run Growing through Changes, and Peer Support Leaders at schools such as Pasir Ris Primary.

In the plans too are more community service programmes, specifically Project Dawn for youths-at-risk.

I will turn 40 in September, and I am excited.

With our magic WAND, the rest of 2010 will be filled with passion, meaning and abundance.

What about yours?

Inspiring Passion and Purpose,

Wendy Chua K. Wand

"We engaged Wendy and Thaddeus to help us organize a company wide seminar on the importance of working through global teams and operating with a global mindset. They helped us organize the content of the seminar, provided coaching to a very diverse multinational group of senior level leaders, and helped us gain alignment in the process. The seminar was a tremendous success. Wendy and Thaddeus were professional, responsive and a lot of fun to work with. Their insight and guidance were invaluable. I would highly recommend their services.."
