Dr Yvonne Sum.

If a parent is the CEO of home, what insights can we learn from our family that we can apply to leadership?

As parents - how do we set an intentional framework that honours what we value without disconnecting from our children?

How do we act to make our leadership relevant, effective and valued?

Drawing on lessons from contemporary leadership and our most basic tribe, the family, Dr Yvonne Sum seeks to explain how to lead in this space with intent, and what you need to do to maintain intentional leadership in this changing, often fractured, world.

She will be presenting a two-day workshop, organised by Leaderonomics and supported by ParenThots. The details are as follows:

Intentional Parenting: Parents as CEOs of the Home
Dates: Jan 7 and 8
Time: 10am-5pm
Venue: Cybertorium, Menara Star, No 15 Jalan 16/11, Petaling Jaya, Selangor

The workshop, on inspiring your children to follow you, is recommended for parents (with children of all ages), grandparents, potential parents, educators and people who live or work with children.
