Ms. Cheryl Wee, a Lawyer by profession with a niche in real estate and litigation, shared on the culmination of skills and experiences learned from academic settings and work experiences that she always refers to in managing a case, citing nothing learned is ever irrelevant.
Strategy Coach Ms. Ruth Naing shared on how even experienced business professionals always need the extra push and motivation to achieve their goals, and no aspirations can be reached alone. Real Estate Negotiator Mr. Ng Teck Yong shared on insights in the property market and how recognizing and differentiating the buyers’ market v.s. the sellers’ market helps him cater to his clients’ needs.
