What can cooking teach us about managing expectations of ourselves when the world around us is shifting? Apparently, quite a few things like gaining confidence in new skills we didn't think were important before. El Kwang shares life lessons from his cooking experiences as well as his inside-out approach to pivoting his business after being hard-hit by Covid.
El is the founder-CEO of consultancy firm Untangled and owns two brand experiences -Biz Events Asia and U Agency. He's also a board director on the global network of incentive travel professionals SITE.
Quotes From Episode
"I think COVID has broken the spell of our crave for external approval because it really broke the transactional relationship. And it also allows us to focus on who we choose to listen to nowadays when it comes to constructive criticism."
"Don't assume that you always have to lead. I think that if you have a diverse team of people with different life experiences, not just in age or race, but diverse in life experiences you can tap on to that."
"I would suggest that for any collaboration to start, to start talking about the ugly. For example, what if we disagree? What is our exit strategy if it doesn't work... and things like that so that if anything positive happens, it's a bonus."
