Mental Health

Do you know that 1 in every 3 adults in Malaysia is struggling with mental health? *

Imagine there are 3 of you sitting in a room. The likeliest that one of YOU is suffering from this condition is so real that it is no longer a joke.

Mental health, just like it’s nasty friend, The Big C, robs you of time, family, productivity, and self.

Why am I on this topic today?  Interestingly, in my daily dealings with my clients who are looking for career management services, I met so many who need that extra support. To be exact, 5 of them within the past 2 months. Conditions like this, go unnoticed, and when it comes, it might be too late.

Due to experience, I may have picked up the signs and red flags, and have to make sure they are being supported medically to be productive again. Sometimes, I have to decline a job so the client can get better first. Without that support, there is only so much that a career coaching can do.

I am now looking to have a conversation with potential collaborators on mental wellness, preferably in the non profit or governmental space. DM me.

To your career success
