About the event
Is your career happening by design, or by default?
About the Event
Many professionals find themselves caught in a cycle of endless meetings, tight deadlines, and the silent pressure to simply survive the workweek. We often normalize this corporate hustle, assuming that big ambitions must come at the cost of our mental well-being. But what if you could engineer your professional journey differently from lived experiences?
Join Singapore-based writer and corporate leader with Deloitte, Tarishi Khanna for an honest, reflective session inspired by her debut book, Corporate Cocktail – A Happy High. Drawing on themes from her debut book, Corporate Cocktail – A Happy High, Tarishi will discuss workplace challenges, career design and professional wellbeing.
Whether you are a fresh graduate entering the workforce or a seasoned professional looking to redefine your boundaries, this session offers a fresh, validating perspective on workplace culture.
What Participants Can Expect to Take Away:
• Deconstruct the Hustle: Unpack the academic and professional conditioning that makes us link our self-worth entirely to a corporate scorecard.
• Navigate Corporate Dynamics: Explore how to differentiate between high-impact creation and the noise of modern "burnout work," helping you protect your time and energy.
• Manage Workplace Friction: Discover how to draw firm boundaries without being labeled an "attitude problem," and discuss how to handle realistic pressures like shifting deadlines or a demanding boss without losing your peace of mind.
What to Bring / Preparation:
To get the most out of this interactive session, participants are requested to have the following on hand:
• A Notebook and Pen: For a few short, personal reflection exercises where you will map out your own current workplace dynamics.
• An Open Mind: Ready to share, reflect, and ask unfiltered questions during our interactive Q&A segment.
