I also like that she’s often involved with volunteer work, and that’s admirable. During her stay in Nepal, for eight days Lisa and I took care of three lovely kittens (one of the many other volunteer things that Lynn does), which will soon be adopted by some lucky person in Singapore. ...

Few days ago I attended a very interesting event here in Singapore, organized by Asia Professional Speakers Singapore. Among others, there was my friend Fredrik Härén, talking about how to make a million Singapore dollars a year, plus find two months to write a book. Very interesting talk, which was all about being a great speaker, even before the “money” part. This is Fredrik’s advice: 1) Repeat yourself: do few speeches, and do them often, so you get great at them. ... Read more
