That’s a wrap on The Work Panel! Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for an open and candid conversation about work, careers and figuring out what comes next. Together with Andee Tay, Kar Men Lim, Fan Wei Chung and Dione Chen, we talked about non-linear career paths, knowing when it might be time for a change, mentorship and support systems, advocating for yourself, and navigating uncertainty at work. One of our biggest takeaways? There really isn’t one roadmap to a successful career. Every experience can teach us something about what we're good at, what matters to us and where we might want to go next. And we don't necessarily have to figure it all out on our own. A big thank you to our panellists for sharing so candidly, and to everyone who brought your questions and experiences into the room. We hope you left with something useful for your own journey. See you at the next RainbowAsia programme!

Our next panellist for The Work Panel 👀 Meet Dione Chen, an educator, learning experience designer and facilitator.
