Hello, good morning, afternoon and evening wherever you are in the world and happy Monday.
And that is if Monday is a happy day for you.
So welcome back to today's live stream.
And this is part of my 30-day career live stream challenge where I will answer very interesting career topics, career questions that you may have as well as good
slash bad career advice that I come across on multiple social media platforms that I think is
worth sharing a little bit more about my practical experiences on whether I think some of these
advisors are good advisors or some of these are just like pain BS advisors that you should not listen to. So welcome back to another episode.
So today is day nine of our 30-day careers live stream series. And since today is Monday,
I wanted to talk about Motivation Monday. So if you are watching live right now, the question I have
for you is whenever it's Monday, do you think of it as like Monday blues, like Monday blues,
or you're actually really excited to start the week? So if you're watching live right now,
let me know, drop it in the comments, Monday blues, or you're pretty excited to start the week.
So feel free to share if you are watching live.
And I think this is a question that I ask almost every Monday on my Instagram stories.
Unfortunately, LinkedIn does not have stories.
I'm unable to kind of ask that a little bit more.
But this is almost a consistent poll that I ask on my Instagram every single Monday.
And usually the response I get is about 70%, you know,
bad day. Mondays are usually like really bad days. About 30% are still pretty excited about their jobs. They feel like they're still learning something and you know, the day's, you know,
going pretty well. So which one are you? Are you still excited at your job and doing what you are doing and looking forward to
new career potential at your workplace right now? And therefore, you know, still pretty excited.
Yeah, I mean, it's Monday, you know, like most of the time we think that it's negative, but I do
definitely know a lot of people who are still pretty excited to start the week because, you
know, they're just raring to go um unfortunately
i'd say 70 of people based on my instagram polls as well as the multiple stressful dms that i
usually get on monday these are the kind of dms that i don't get on weekends but like when monday
tuesday comes like my dms are usually flooded with like maybe i hate my job maybe this problem
that problem so i think like sometimes maybe it's a psychological thing.
I don't know.
Like when, you know, you go out there, enjoy your weekend, right?
Then when it comes to Monday, it's like, oh, kind of back to this situation.
You know, the drinking, the partying, the relaxing and the spa days
and the escaping during the weekend, guess what?
Kind of didn't solve the real problem because you might not have been
taking action to kind of like solve a career problem because you might not have been taking action to
kind of like solve a career problem, right? And therefore, like the problem sort of like happens
again on Monday and therefore you're feeling Monday blues. So, you know, if you're resonating
with what I'm saying right now, you know, feel free to drop a comment and let me know. So based
on what I'm sort of seeing right now, I'm seeing tons of Monday blues. So it could be kind of a
common thing as well. Okay, so now I actually want to
share with you the two main reasons why you are feeling Monday blues and more importantly,
the actions that you can take, right? Because, you know, it's really my philosophy that, you know,
when you attend a free training, when you attend a free webinar, when you attend a free live talk,
a free live stream, I hope that you really take something away from the session.
Otherwise, it's just going to be like one side in, one side out.
And, you know, then it turns from education into entertainment,
which is kind of defeats the purpose, right?
So what's really important is, okay, maybe let's talk about
the two main reasons why you are feeling Monday blues
and obviously what you can do about it.
The first reason is you don't see what is the end goal of your current job, right? So there is kind of a,
you don't have an end goal of what you actually want to achieve in your current job. And therefore,
there is no motivation to do anything, right? It's like, if you can't see the end destination,
then how are you going to be committed in the journey?
How are you going to be dedicated?
How are you going to find the kind of energy to kind of walk the path?
So what is the end goal?
And one of the things I also always say is you need to set your career GPS
because if you don't set your career GPS,
then what's going to then happen is that you're just going to be there at work
just because you have to serve the nine to five hours you don't believe in what you do you think the whole
thing is a bit of a bs you don't know where you are going and the worst thing is then you'll feel
stuck right it's kind of the trajectory of things in general so that that itself is is a problem so
then the question is you really need to ask yourself if you really want to like sort of get out of this situation, you really need to ask yourself like, what
is the angle of this job right now? What is the angle? It sounds like a simple question,
but to be honest, it's not the easiest question to answer. And in fact, right, if we were to
go a little bit further, a little bit further, and I'm going to give you guys some bonus bonus
since you're watching live right now. I'm going to give you guys some bonus bonus since you're watching live right now. I'm going to give you guys some bonus
and this is actually something
that I teach in module one
of my online course,
The Corporate Survivor.
And anyway,
it's a three-step framework
to get clear,
get confident,
and get visible
at your corporate job.
So in phase one,
module one,
literally the first lesson I teach
and the first question I ask
in the first ever,
the first module,
even before we dive into like skills and yada, yada, yada, it's about what are the three main reasons why you joined this
company? Why are you here? If you don't even know what are the three main outcomes that you want for
your career, not for your boss, what you want out of your career in this current job right now,
there is no direction. And it also tells me that when you sign the job, you're a bit hunky-dory, but you didn't really think through what is the
value that you are going to gain from this job. And without that kind of clarity, Mondays will
always be blue. It will always be blue. And I'm just telling you from, you know, like honestly,
because I've worked with people from, you know, various seniorities as well.
And even personally for me in the past,
I have had very, very intense jobs.
And I'm telling you, very intense jobs.
It's like never enough hours in the day,
even if I was working at like 120% capacity all the time.
So it's very, very high intensity jobs.
And if you look at my LinkedIn profile,
you will know the senior positions that I have done in my career. And I'm
telling you, honestly, it's really challenging, but I'm always very clear what is the three main
outcome that I wanted from that job at that time. So even though when, you know, when the going gets
tough, right, it's very difficult. Honestly, I'm telling you, it's very difficult to get external
motivation, whether it's from the free posts, you posts, the free YouTube videos, the free content,
listening to me talk,
give you guys tips and motivation.
Honestly, it's really very difficult.
So that's why career clarity
is really important.
If you have not done it,
honestly, the best time to do it,
it's even before you sign the job offer.
Because sometimes,
we're not going to get into
interviews and job offers right now.
If you want more content around that, have like tons of like podcasts and videos go spotify
and youtube but my main point is that like if the best time to figure out if this is the job that
fits your career goals and your career goal is before you sign the job offer the second the
second best time to do it is now especially if it's monday and you're feeling a bit like
oh i can't deal with this anymore then you should really ask yourself like you know what is the three
main reasons why you're at this job right now what motivated you to even join this company what
motivated you to take this current role and actually convince you at that time beyond the
money of course i mean there must be some reason if it's just the money then like um dm me we're gonna have a separate conversation around that but that's why you
know career clarity especially the career potential of this current role that's giving
you the monday blues right now should have been clarified before you sign the job offer because
that is the true motivation of what's going to keep you in this job right this job they're having
monday blues the second best time to do it i. The second best time to do it, I repeat,
the second best time to do it is now.
Because the fact that today's Monday,
you are telling me, I'm actually seeing tons of like,
in the messaging, in the messages,
like a lot of people are saying Monday blues.
So the second best time actually is right now.
So it's a bit of an indicator
because like how we feel day to day,
especially on Monday, is truly how we feel day to day, especially on Monday,
is truly how,
you know,
how we are going to approach something.
So if you're not happy with something,
if it's low energy,
everything feels like,
you know,
sucks and everything else
and like you will not be able
to like project yourself well
at work
and like,
you know,
the performance just kind of goes downhill.
Like,
it's a snowball effect
like down the hill
which is really not good.
Okay?
So that's really the the
first point so the second reason why you are feeling monday blues and this is probably something
that we can kind of fix so i find that a lot of people um they are now maybe let's talk about
confidence versus competence so a lot of people like if if you don't have the skills competence
or expertise to be able to do your current job,
whether it's a day-to-day task or it's an activity,
or it's towards reaching a goal, a performance goal
that is defined by this current role that you're in right now,
then this means that it's going to be very difficult to be in a happy situation
if you can't do the job every day.
Not a good situation.
So the second reason is really down to skills gap so what that means is then you likely lack some skills so
it could be three things you could be lacking knowledge so maybe you're in a new industry or
you're in a new company maybe you're just lacking some um you know business or um yeah maybe some
business knowledge or like technical business or industry
knowledge to be able to succeed in this new job or like this current role or the role that you've
transitioned to in like a year or so and still adapting and finding it difficult. The second
skills gap, it could be technical skills. So maybe your job requires certain technical skills,
right? And you're not that great at it. So it's going to take you more time to do
it. And it's going to be really frustrating. You're probably going to make a lot of mistakes.
And it's also going to be really frustrating because first, you're already taking a lot of
time, right? So it's really annoying. And then you might get scolded by your boss or your seniors
because your boss and seniors are going to be like, how come you are taking so much time?
And if you're not great with certain technical skills,
there's a very, very high chance
that you're going to make mistakes.
And mistakes usually lead to
lower self-confidence
as a result of like, you know,
getting negative feedback
or getting scolded.
Like none of these are like,
you know, happy situations to be in.
And if you guys are like telling me
based on what I'm seeing in the DMs
and the messages right now,
it's clearly not a good situation. So there's a third reason as well. And the third skills gaps actually are related to
soft skills. So when I say soft skills are managing expectations with your boss. Communication. Maybe
you have some problems getting along with people. Maybe you have some problems communicating your
requests or like getting certain things from certain stakeholders or clients.
And that can be really, really frustrating.
I completely get that.
It's really annoying.
Or maybe you are lacking some critical thinking or maybe some creativity to maybe do a better job, whatever your job is.
Or some other skills, including maybe you are a very disorganized person.
Things are just everywhere.
So if things are just everywhere, obviously, you know,
you'll be under a lot of pressure because, you know,
you are likely working in a team, depending on kind of like where you are.
But I'd say that if you're in the corporate world,
which like most of my connections, our clients are in the corporate world,
you're likely working with a team.
And therefore, as a team player, if you are a person who cannot deliver on time
or the quality of work is bad
it's late you know you're inefficient you're ineffective like all these actually have negative
implications so probably your days at work is you know not going to be the the happiest situation
because you are lacking some skills gap so you just want to be very careful because like skills
gap regardless if it's knowledge uh technical or soft skills, could get you fired, even though
you have the best intentions. But if you are not delivering the work as what your boss wanted to,
as what was communicated, then technically you didn't actually do your job, right? Because you're
kind of hired to make sure that you deliver results in the best way possible. So if you're
not delivering results as defined by your boss,
then it's going to be very challenging.
And that kind of like dynamic,
to be honest,
is really not good for both sides.
So what you can do is you need to upskill,
upskill and upskill.
And I know that I,
like if you listen to any of my podcasts
or videos,
I always talk about upskilling,
but I find that a lot of people
don't really know how.
And a lot of people think of like upskill as just a random concept, but people don't really know how. And a lot of people think
of upskill as just a random concept, but they don't really know, like, okay, but like, what do
I do? So if you really want to learn, like, what are your skills gap? Okay, now there are basically
two things, right? First is you first need to identify your skills gap. In order to fix something,
you need to first figure out what you are really bad at, right? If you know what you're not good at,
then you're going to fix those things first.
If you don't know what you don't know,
then that is called trying to fix something blindly.
And the chances of like doing something blindly
likely means that you're not going to get any results anyway.
So if you want to assess your skills gap,
what I usually teach is the top 12 skills
for career success.
And these are basically
in four groups.
It's the communication,
relationship building,
critical thinking,
as well as productivity.
So it's 12 skills
bucketed into the four buckets.
So if you want to do
a skills gap assessment,
you can go to,
you can join my free training
at www.growyourcorporatecareer.com
where I teach the six steps for career planning. So in step number five, it's all about the workplace
soft skills. So in step number five of this training, I actually go through with you,
how do you assess if you have a skills gap? And I actually go through the communication skills gap
as well as the productivity skills gap. So these are go through the communication skills gap as well as the
productivity skills gap. So these are really, really two important components. So if you're
not sure if you have some skills gap or you feel like, hey, you know, I feel I'm struggling at work
with people or with my workload and I don't really know why, then check out this training and probably
give you a little bit more insights as to where sort of like your problems lie and maybe, you know,
help you figure out a little bit of blind spots as well.
So once you know what you need to fix,
then you can go and start fixing it, right?
You can, you know, practice your communication skills,
like you can take up a course,
you can maybe watch more YouTube videos or basically do something, do something, guys.
Like if you're gonna like watch a live stream
and like watch a free training and not do anything,
then, you know, kind of back to square one, right?
So the first step is, like I said,
find out where your real problems lie.
And then after that,
you can actually take action to fix them.
So that's probably what I recommend.
So in case you have just joined,
hello to, you know, welcome to my 30-day...
Hold on, let me put back the banner welcome to my 30 day
career live stream series where i will go live at 9 p.m gmt plus 8 that's malaysia singapore and
hong kong time every single day in may to answer any interesting career questions that you may have
and also to dispel some truths from the myths of good slash bad career advice that I see on
multiple social media platforms that I'm on. So that's LinkedIn, you know, YouTube, TikTok,
Instagram, and all these other interesting platforms that I do spend some time on. And
occasionally I find things that I don't quite agree with, as well as some interesting DMs and
questions that I get from you guys as well. So, yeah.
So if you have an interesting question
that you want to hear a little bit of my perspective of,
then feel free to drop me a DM.
Make sure that you make a note
and say that it's something that you want me to discuss
in the live stream,
then potentially in one of those days,
I may share it with all of you here.
So thank you so much for joining live. So for all of you who are here right now, maybe tell me,
based on what I've just shared, what do you think is the root cause of your Monday blues?
Is it number one, you don't know what is the end goal of your job that's number one or number two
do you think you may be lacking some skills or knowledge to be able to do a job to do your
current job that's kind of like creating the monday blues so if you want you can definitely
feel free to share it with me in the chat box just tell me it's number one you know like an end goal
or it's number two it's a skills gap so feel free to share if you want to. I think, you know, I'm a huge believer in self-reflection
because if you don't, you know, do any self-reflection,
it's going to be very difficult.
And also, it's important to also recognize
that we all have blind spots and we all have skills gap.
So if, I think the earlier you start, the better
because self-awareness is one of those really, really important
qualities or
skills that a lot of people do not necessarily apply but it's really really essential for career
success so self-awareness was something that i talked about in one of the earlier live stream
episodes so if you want to check out any of the earlier episodes you can check it out on youtube
as well as spotify so i've already uploaded them there so you can feel free to check it out to
hear other my other career insights
on other interesting topics
similar to the ones that you're hearing
right now as well.
So yeah, definitely let me know.
And maybe also let me know
what is the one skill
that you are planning to improve on this year.
So today, it's already May actually.
And if you joined the live stream yesterday,
I was talking about how over the weekend,
I got a lot of messages from people
who finally realized that a lot of the festive seasons
are finally over and starting to want to seriously
get back on track with their career goals.
Because, you know, you have another eight months,
if that, probably about seven and a half months left, right?
From, we are almost at mid-May right now.
So probably another seven and a half months left.
So think about the career goal that you have set
at the beginning of the year.
And where are you right now?
Are you progressing?
Or you are feeling so overwhelmed
and lack of clarity right now that like,
you are not just progressing against
the goal you're actually moving backwards and that is probably a bigger problem right because
you know it's that one percent improvement every day but if instead of improving you're kind of
going backwards i think you may have a more fundamental root cause problem that you really
need to assess so if you are um just joining in right now, I did ask a
question earlier on whether, you know, when we talk about Monday blues and like feeling so
demotivated on Monday, feeling uninspired at work on Monday, which is actually the root cause. Number
one is because you lack clarity on like kind of where your career is going and therefore you don't
really see what you're actually doing at this job and it's totally demotivating or number two it's all about you lack certain skills expertise and knowledge to do your
job well done and therefore your days at work is very unpleasant and that creates a lot of stress
and that makes you really unhappy at work so number one or number two like but the good news
is that you can you can fix them.
The first step is to recognize the reason.
And then the next step is that
you can then take action
to get out of your Monday right,
get out of your Monday blues
and continue to improve yourself.
Okay, so I think I see
some questions as well.
So let me see some interesting questions.
And if you are watching this live stream for the first time, please let me know and welcome to this 30-day careers live
stream and hope to see you every day until the end of May of this year. So let me have a look.
All right. So there are a couple of interesting questions. I'll probably select a few. So this
LinkedIn user is saying insightful.
Great to hear that you're enjoying today's live stream.
All right.
All right.
So there's a very interesting question here, right?
So the question is,
is LinkedIn learning worth it
for anyone in functional or business analyst role
having the course and certifications?
Does it help build credibility of a person having a skill?
Okay. the courses and certifications? Does it help build credibility of a person having a skill? Okay, since I'm streaming live on LinkedIn amongst other platforms, I don't want to say
which course is better than the other. I think that every certification and course has its value,
but at the end of the day, it's really are you gonna rebrand the knowledge how you're gonna
position yourself in your resume in your job search for your career growth using whatever that
you have um obtained so there are two things right that's the first part is getting whatever
qualification the second part is learning how to brand yourself. And I find that for a lot of people, they tend to go down the first path and totally forget about
branding themselves versus the other way, which actually I highly recommend is to first learn how
to brand yourself first without taking another paper qualification, right? Branding yourself
versus taking a paper qualification is not exactly the same thing. Branding yourself is about
knowing where your value lie, your key competencies and your key achievements and to be able to package your
career story and career journey in a way that can be understood and usually that goes into your
resume or at least that that's what i teach to my clients even before taking any certification i
always tell them that let's try the branding exercise first and then go all out with your
job search and see whether it works or not versus investing in a certification and with the hope that it's going to work and after
you take the certification it did not work so i'll give you a real example over here i actually had a
client work with me for job search a couple of months ago and when she came to me she told me
that maybe do you think i should take an mba or do you think i should go all out with a more
effective job search strategy for this particular job that i want should i take an MBA or do you think I should go all out with a more effective job search
strategy for this particular job that I want should I take the course or should I um just try
the rebranding exercise first so my personal opinion is um I feel like if you can do the
branding now like why not just do the branding now because you know if you are going to take
the course and you still never learn how to brand yourself then like um you're going to spend like two more years taking the course and kind of end
back at this same point,
if you get what I'm saying.
So I always,
you know,
branding and positioning is a skill that you can learn and it's a lifelong
journey.
Like all my clients who have been through like the branding exercise with me,
particularly in resume,
uh,
LinkedIn,
SOS interview,
like they don't come back with the same questions anymore because it's a skill that they have learned. Right. So it's something that they can take on as well as interview, like they don't come back with the same questions anymore because it's a skill that they have learned, right?
So it's something that they can take on as well.
So that's probably what I would recommend.
I think, you know, you should focus on learning
how to sell your value first before you take another course
and with the hope that it's going to help sell you.
The power is in you.
You need to learn how to sell yourself first, okay?
All right. you you need to learn how to sell yourself first okay all right so let me have a look at um some
of the other comments as well so i'm seeing another comment lacking end goal and time management
so at the end of the day if you are lacking end goal you don't know what's your direction and
you're also bad with time management
and productivity, that just means that you're lacking clarity, but you're also lacking skill.
So you need to do both at the same time. But probably what I would suggest is always clarity
first. So if you have already gone through my six steps for career planning, step one,
career interest and direction. Even though most people tell me, oh, Mayping,
it's so boring, you know, this whole career direction, oh my god, it's so boring. I'm like,
but why would you start a car? Why would you start a car and start driving, waste all your time,
energy, petrol and everything else and go around in a circle and like get nowhere? Like this,
it doesn't make sense to me. So start with career interest and direction direction like what is the angle what what do you
actually want to get out of your job like what do you even want did your career really really start
from there then you know from there on if these skills gap whether it's productivity it's
relationship building it's time management it's communication skill if that is an important skill
that you need for the next phase of your career, then you should upskill. Otherwise,
if you don't upskill, you're not going to get anywhere anyway. Because I'd say that there are
some basic skills and the basic skills that I teach are the top 12 skills that I told you in
the four buckets earlier. To me, that is a skill that is like a cross. It doesn't matter what
industry, what function, what company, what job, what level, you need all of those. So that's why
that's something that I actually teach in my course right now, to set a very, very strong foundation, especially if you're
working nine to five in the corporate world. Hello, Oliver. Good to hear that you are
continuously self-upskilling. So personal development is really a lifelong journey.
I think that if you don't care about your professional development, nobody can care more than you.
It's a reality.
Nobody can care about your career more than you do.
Okay?
All right.
So, let's have a look at some of the interesting questions that I see.
All right.
So, again, you know,
number one,
right,
no lacking of like
career direction,
like really what the end goal
is in the current job
is,
I think it's a problem
for a lot of people.
I'm seeing quite a lot
of comments here and there
as well.
So if you feel like
particularly,
you know,
after transitioning
to this current role
that you're in right now,
you're starting to feel
Monday blues,
but you've never really
felt this feeling before,
then it's probably a much better indicator that the problem is with
the current job. So this, I guess if you're in this similar situation, probably it's a lot easier
for you to diagnose and say, ah, okay. So it's not like a thing along your career journey that has
been happening, but it's sort of like the situation right now. So if you're in this situation right
now, I think you really need to assess
what you really want to get out of this job
or you are actually lacking some particular skills
and maybe that's also causing certain overwhelm as well.
So again, my recommendation is the same.
I think that if you want to get a little bit more clarity
on the step one,
then you can definitely go to the free training,
www.growyourcorporatecareer.com.
So the first part of the training will actually go into step one, then you can definitely go to the free training, www.growacorporatecareer.com. So the first part of the training will actually go into step one, career interest and direction,
and like, you know, when you want to go and look for a job, and if it's the right time,
it's something that I cover in the first part of the training. So if you feel that you need
a little bit more clarity, you can definitely check out this training that I have.
So let me see if there's any other interesting comments because this is a live
stream that is usually about 20 to 30 minutes. I just want to come on live because I know that I
have not really been spending a lot of time like face-to-face with you guys. I feel like I'm not
really doing as many videos. Like if you followed me on LinkedIn back in 2020 and 2021, I did so
many one-minute, one to to three minute videos and i think that
that has kind of like died off a little bit more so yeah hopefully if these live streams i'll be
at least i get to see your comments you guys get to see me so hopefully you guys appreciate this
sort of live stream sessions and if you want to check out the replays you can definitely go to
youtube or spotify to catch up on all the previous days and also make sure that you join me in the upcoming days as well all right so
thank you so much guys for joining um we're kind of like out of time reaching the end of the session
so good to see some really nice comments i'm not sure why i can't see your name but uh uh so this
linkedin user is saying it's great learning so hopefully you learned something from today's
session and yeah i mean if you learn something from today's live stream let me know the one thing that you learn in the chat box i really appreciate to hear from
you guys and again thank great session thanks for sharing you're welcome so let me know in the
comments what is the one one learning that you learned from today's live stream and let me know
i do want still want to talk about a lot more interesting topics in the coming days and the
other thing also let me know if you guys want to hear some client success stories i've been working
with so many clients but i have not really had the time to share their stories maybe i will use some
of these live stream sessions to share specific client stories that i've been working with
hopefully these stories can also inspire you guys so if this is something that you want to hear more
about let me know in the chat box probably maybe next week onwards i will do like a client success story series for like the next 10
days or something so hopefully that's something that will inspire you and also to show you that

move ahead there's always a solution as long as you want the solution. Okay?
So just a final recap.
If you guys want to learn more about like career direction and all those things,
you can check out the free training at www.growyourcorporatecareer.com.
So step one out of my six-step career planning process,
we will talk about career interest and direction.
So hopefully that actually gives you a little bit of clarity as well.
And for those of you who have been sending me messages
in the chat box saying that you think
that you have a skills problem
or you have a people skills problem,
then check out this training also.
The last part of the training
where I go into step five and six
is all about work skills,
helping you to assess if you have skills gap,
you have blind spots,
and really thinking about your career growth strategy.
So that is actually the second half of the training.
So if you haven't checked it out yet, make sure that you check it out.
And for those of you who may want to learn a little bit more, I do have a paid program that is the Corporate Survivor at www.thecorporatesurvivor.co

corporate world, get confident by building the core corporate skills, as well as getting visible
at your job, as well as online on LinkedIn. So if that's something that you want to actually go a
lot more in-depth, this is actually the course that a lot of nine to five professionals sign up
because they want to learn from my 10 plus years of experience on surviving and navigating, as well
as in leadership positions
in the corporate world so if there's something that you want to check out and you can go to
