Communities at Work

Every working life reaches moments where the path forward is unclear — a career pivot, a redundancy, a question about what comes next. For many Singaporeans, the first place they turn is not an institution or a programme but a community: a group of people who have been through something similar, who share a professional identity, who meet to exchange ideas, to support each other, and to figure things out together. Communities at Work is a series of conversations with the people who build and sustain these groups.

    PEASE: Preparing to EASE Your Life Transition

    In this episode, we speak with Tan Weng Mooi and Angela Sujadi about PEASE: Preparing to EASE Your Life Transition: a ground-up initiative born out of the recognition that life transitions tend to be vulnerable moments that many struggle with but don't discuss about. It is a journey that can be eased when we draw support from one another as we figure out our direction towards a fulfilling and meaningful life. PEASE provides the community support and resources you need to navigate these transitions with confidence and clarity.

    The Courage Chapter

    What does life look like after a long corporate career? Join us as we sit down with Kai Ning and Jesslyn, the founders of The Courage Chapter—a Singapore-based social enterprise dedicated to guiding experienced professionals through their next life chapters. Kai Ning and Jesslyn discuss how they are tackling the stereotypes of aging and career transitions by building a powerful "reinvention ecosystem". They dive into the psychological shifts required to move from a passive job applicant to an active creator, the rise of leading a "portfolio life", and why true fulfilment in our later years relies heavily on the dignity of work and purposeful longevity. Whether you are approaching retirement, navigating a major career transition, or an employer looking to tap into top-tier senior talent, this episode is a masterclass in curiosity, resilience, and finding the courage to embark on your next frontier.
