With over a decade of experience leading finance and accounting functions - rising from Senior Accountant to Head of Finance - I've built a reputation for driving cost efficiencies, leading digital transformations, and making complex data actionable for decision-makers.

Today, I'm bringing this experience to a cause I'm deeply passionate about: advancing corporate sustainability and ESG reporting that goes beyond compliance - to build trust, transparency, and long term value. 


🔴WHY ESG REPORTING?

✔Because reporting is where strategy meets accountability. 

✔My belief: effective ESG reporting is not just about ticking boxes - it's about influencing change, guiding investments, and aligning business performance with climate and social goals.

Ever catch yourself doing this? 😅


👉 Checking news or emails instead of starting work
👉 Scrolling through Instagram instead of tackling tough problems
👉 Feeling busy, but somehow not getting much done


When big tasks loom — like writing a paper, preparing a presentation, or starting a project — that sense of “where do I even begin?” can be paralyzing.


So we distract ourselves with “comfort activities.”
They feel productive, but they keep us from what really matters.


Been there, done that. Happens to me all the time. 😂


But here’s the thing: ignoring our responsibilities doesn’t make them go away — they only pile up.


If you ever feel overwhelmed or find it hard to focus, try this simple (and century-old) productivity method that actually works 👇

1️⃣ At the end of each workday, write down the six most important tasks for tomorrow. (Only six!)
2️⃣ Rank them by true importance.
3️⃣ Start your day with the first task — and don’t move on until it’s done.
4️⃣ Continue down the list.
5️⃣ Move unfinished tasks to a new list for the next day.
6️⃣ Repeat daily.


Do this for three months — and watch your focus and output transform. 🚀


I’ve been practicing it myself lately, and honestly, it’s been working wonders.

I'm Jeff Loo, driven by a passion for sustainability, I help organizations advance their ESG goals through robust sustainability reporting, greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and EcoVadis assessments.

If you are passionate about sustainability or navigating your ESG journey, let's connect over coffee - I'd love to exchange ideas and experiences. 


🔴 Have you tried this before, or do you have your own productivity system that keeps you on track? I’d love to hear what works for you. 💬

When I started sharing my ideas on LinkedIn, I didn’t expect one thing — 
how much feedback would come my way, both good and bad.


Some comments were thoughtful and helped me grow.
Others? Let’s just say they weren’t so kind.


At first, I took it personally. I wondered if my content wasn’t good enough — or worse, if I wasn’t good enough.


I thought about changing my approach.
I thought about posting what everyone likes.
I even thought about trying to please everyone.


But here’s what I learned — that’s impossible.


> “If you try to please everyone, you’ll end up pleasing no one.”


And honestly, if I did that, I wouldn’t be me anymore.
I wouldn’t be authentic to the people who actually support me for who I am.


The truth is, negative feedback is part of the game — especially when you talk about meaningful topics like sustainability, change, and leadership.
Not everyone will agree, and that’s okay.
The bolder the message, the louder the reactions.


Now, I take a step back.
If there’s something I can learn from the feedback, great — I’ll grow.
If it’s just hate for the sake of hate, I move on.


Because my energy is limited.
Why focus on the 10% of negativity when 90% of people are showing support, encouragement, and love?


To everyone who’s been cheering me on — thank you.
Your support keeps me grounded and motivated to keep showing up as my true self, and to keep sharing stories that inspire positive change. 🌱


Here’s to growing, learning, and staying authentic — even when it’s not easy. 💪🙂


🔴 How do you usually deal with negative feedback — learn from it, ignore it, or something in between?
