If you were to tone it down to a singular factor that sets humans apart from AI counterparts, it would be human creativity and an unending quest of curiosity to think differently.



Sure, there are momentary slumps that people term differently, from writer's block to creative fatigue, but creativity is ultimately one of the greatest tools for any professional.



We are happy to sit down with Wiveka Göransson, Founder of Curious Creator, a company specialising in providing tailored transformations for teams and organisations. Wiveka is here to share her thoughts on creativity and an innate drive for curiosity that should fuel a constant change towards the better.

Do you have the workplace accessibility you deserve?



Like every generational change, Gen-Z started their professional journey in the wake of drastic workplace changes, primarily with the shift towards a remote working environment.



Accessibility in the workplace has been an underrated provision for employees and we're here to reopen discussions on how companies can effectively initiate better accessibility for their young professionals.



To give life to this conversation, we're excited to have invited Maeve O'Briant, Digital Content Creator at Sophie Hayes Foundation, to share her thoughts on accessibility.

Simply put, LinkedIn is unlike the rest.



While all social media platforms are almost addictive and immensely gratifying, LinkedIn often adopts a nature of its own, especially for GenZ, where it could look like a loop of seeking validation and providing validation.



Beneath the surface level, and beyond the immediate horizon, what does LinkedIn offer that is still irreplaceable to date, and how can young professionals navigate their way effectively to this platform.



We're joined by Valeria Ioureva, Career Consultant & Founder of Mind the Grad, and we're excited to share her take on LinkedIn, its necessity in the modern day and how you can leverage a good profile into positively impacting your career.

Interning abroad is a rush of feelings put together. You're suddenly in this place of showcasing professionalism, carrying out activities independently, and at the forefront of a working environment.



More often than not, your expectations of an internship abroad might not be properly aligned with how the internship would be.



We're excited to welcome Danah Alturkistani, a former intern from Capital Placement and an early career professional, to recount her internship stories from London, and how a realistic picture of interning abroad looks like.

Endorsements, controversy, drama, jazz music, Marketing have it all!



Understandably, the marketing industry has always been highly sought-after by many creative graduates and early career professionals.



But before you step in to get your head and feet into the hyper-happening industry, how do you identify if marketing is really for you and is still all the jazz?



We've invited (yet again!) our favourite Social Media Manager, Angel Zhou, to walk us through her journey starting and growing in her career, and wage her experience in giving tips on how a new marketing professional can do much of the same.

Education, learning and up-skilling are perceived in different ways. Some see it as a prerequisite, like following the instructions before the actual game begins.



While others see it as a way of evolution, constantly sharpening their axes, and striving to grow at every checkpoint.



Whatever school of thought you're into, it is evident that the modern world demands people who continuously update their knowledge and leave room for growth even at their success.



We're excited to welcome Ajinkya Potdar, Capital Placement's very own Senior Operations Manager, to speak more about the topic and walk us through the importance of up-skilling in an ever-changing world.
