UTS PDP: Resilience Entrepreneurial Leadership

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Alumni Malaysian Chapter invites you to an enlightening Journey of Entrepreneurship with David Wee, Founder and CEO of Asia Speakers Bureau and DW Associates Pte Ltd from Singapore. To make this journey successfully, we will have to become leaders. This workshop is about how leaders see, inspire and achieve. And a new leadership is required, i.e. entrepreneurial leadership that emphasizes flexibility, change, innovation and responsiveness.

About The Topic The leader needs two intellectual abilities that are usually not formally assessed in an academic way; the leader needs to have a sense for the unknowable and be able to foresee the unforeseeable. This is partly what gives a leader their ‘lead’, what puts them out ahead and qualified them to show the way. In short it’s foresight – the central ethic of leadership.

Leaders, therefore, must be creative than most, and creativity is largely discovery, a push into the unchartered and the unknown. When the successes and failure of companies are examined, it is clear that achievement over the long-term depends on the ability to innovate, and take the leadership role in the industry.  In the future, business success will be determined by innovation and swiftness to market.

The sixth Australian Universities International Alumni Convention (AUIAC) 2008 will be held in Singapore from 10 to 13 June 2008 at the SUNTEC Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre. The AUIAC 2008 will bring together illustrious alumni of Australian Universities, tertiary and professional institutions, as well as global partners of these alumni, to deliberate on relevant issues impacting the world today. AUIAC 2008 provides a global forum for the exchange of expert opinions and sharing of significant knowledge, and would generate tremendous opportunities for future business networking that would benefit the participants as well as Singapore. Experts will share their insights guided by the AUIAC 2008 theme of "Futuropolis: The Way Ahead thru Alumni Connections" - with wide ranging knowledge covering health, family, community, education, science, innovation, information technology, etc. To be held in Singapore for the very first time, AUIAC 2008 would be a manifestation of the city-state as a preferred global venue for global business, tertiary education and MICE (Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions and Exhibitions).

The Australian Universities International Alumni Convention (AUIAC) is a bi-annual conference that brings together Australian Alumni from around the world. It provides opportunities for alumni to network and hear speakers focusing on the challenges and opportunities in today's global environment.

UTS members with Joey Yap in Sydney, Australia

 

“Horse will be having a bad year in 2008….so if you have friends born in the year of the Horse; you disassociate yourself from them…”

And to roars of laughter from his perplexed audience, Joey Yap set an upbeat and rousing mood at the Star City Hotel in Sydney Australia as he addressed hundreds of people on Good to Great in 2008, Joey Yap’s Feng Shui and Astrology 2008.

“It is our objective to bring Eastern Classical knowledge on Feng Shui to Australia, and the overwhelming success of this event has indeed brought us a step closer”, said Eddy Yap, Course Manager of the Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics based in the Australian Office in Perth.

All passes sponsored by the Mastery Academy had run out in just less than half an hour. These passes were available exclusively for UTS members and proudly brought to you by the UTS Alumni Malaysian Chapter.  

“This is a fantastic initiative,” said Tze Ay Chuah, the Director for UTS International.

A number of UTS graduates from Malaysia, who are currently based in Sydney were present as Joey pointed out that, “Feng Shui is not about putting items here and there and turning your house into a Chinese restaurant. Classical Feng Shui revolves around 3 important factors, which are direction, location and time…”

As always, Joey Yap’s seminar is never complete without his Face Reading (Mian Xiang) tips and this time he made it even more exciting as he combined it with BaZi and the 12 zodiac animals, which proved to be a huge hit with his audience. The audience also had the opportunity to meet Joey Yap close-up during the book signing session towards the end of the event.
