Dear 2023,
Thank you
I’ve lived the most lives in a year ever. Every day was a different episode, each as meaningful as the one before.
Here are 23 of my favourite moments and lessons. And here's to Season 2024!
1. Took the leap, jumped headlong into an APAC role at VaynerMedia APAC
2. Met a new cast of fantastic teammates, each and every one of you are superstars!
3. Spent the most intense and impactful 268-second meetings ever with Tim Lindley
4. Break some rules. Get in trouble. Responsibly.
5. Optimism (sometimes to the point of delulu) is a weapon
6. Patience - big things come from small beginnings - and that’s so true when we put social at the centre at VaynerMedia
7. Empty the cup - what got you here, might not get you there
8. Be grateful for the cup - who you are, your roots, values, fundamentals are still precious
9. Sleep is your superpower - is something i’m still working on but keep telling myself and getting better at
10. Fell in love with mountain biking - nothing gives me better practice at being in the moment and taking risks?

11. Being part of an amazing APAC team that won Best Culture at Campaign Asia-Pacific AOTY alongside Silvers in Integrated and Indie categories - we’re just getting started!
12. Less family time can be more family time - our weekends have become so much more meaningful knowing that i work in a different country weekdays
13. The power of 15 minute meetings - spend more time preparing, and less time on the actual meeting.
14. Every presentation is a performance - be prepared. Even if you have nothing to say.?
15. Ask the right questions - sometimes the wrong ones are the best
16. Books are my in-flight entertainment - nothing compresses travel time more than a good read
17. Be a student again - i’m making tiktoks. Barely. But i’m having fun learning from my younger, more talented teammates.
18. Time is my most indulgent investment?
19. Restraint is an important muscle to work on
20. Being kind can also mean being cruel
21. Being honest isn’t just for good news
22. Be obsessed with filling up the move rings on your apple watch
23. Tomorrow’s overrated. Today’s where it’s at.

1 年15. Asking questions. Sometimes I ask really stupid question, just to hear the presenter answer it, and they figure out that what they said before wasn't all too clever, and my task changed for the better.
