Content Strategist & Events Coordinator

RHT Digital & Media

This role was an internal short-term transfer from my previous role (corporate advisory), as I intended to leave the workforce upon delivery. No maternity leave was claimed from the company.

In this role, I was entrusted with overseeing a small team of two handling investor relations, public relations and crisis management for public listed companies. My knowledge of corporate law and compliance from my previous role in corporate advisory was significantly advantageous to this position, as I was able to advise clients on the legal and regulatory requirements, while crafting effective communications that aligned with their company culture and values.

In addition to the above, I oversaw all general administrative and operations duties, including finance (expense claims, drafting invoices and contracts) and HR matters. I fulfilled my contract period.

Senior Communications Executive

RHT Corporate Advisory

My job scope included corporate secretarial duties for six public listed companies and several hundred private limited companies. I was later transferred to a different department within the group of RHT companies.

Effective Communications | Showcase your Leadership Potential!

Do you work with people? If you do, how are your communication skills?

Words have the power to influence, persuade, and inspire others. 

Being a good communicator isn't about knowing big, fancy words that can intimidate or coerce. Leaning on 10 years of experience working across various roles in communications (international relations, public relations, crisis communications, corporate communications and investor relations), I'm here to share how everyone can become a better communicator by:

- thinking critically
- listening well
- developing a questioning mind
- giving the right context
- understanding purpose and audience

In a society lived in by humans, shaped by humans and driven by humans, our communications need to be relevant and deeply human to make a real impact.

Periodically, I also share musings on #parenting, #leadership and #education.
