EXECUTIVE BREAKFAST EVENT 2024
Friday, 2 February 2024
The Goodwood Park Hotel
We had the pleasure of hosting another edition of our Executive Breakfast with Global Gurus. This year’s theme was “Human Leadership in the Age of AI”.
Our host, Adrian Chong, had a wonderful fireside chat via Zoom with Mr. Bas Wouters, Co-Founder and CEO of Cialdini Institute and thereafter with Mr. Mickey Connolly, Chairman and Founder of Conversant Solutions LLC. Joining on stage at the finale was Ms. Priscilla Lim, MD, Regional Corporate Banker, Bank of America.
In total, 55 senior leaders across 31 organisations came to be part of this lively discussion. They were all fantastic, genuinely keen and participative. There was no shortage of questions from the floor!
So what were the key takeaways?
- Agility and the ability to learn are superpowers
- Essential for human connection to be strengthened in the age of AI
- Psychological safety is foundational to innovation and growth
- Apply behavioural science to your advantage online and in person
- Self-care through mindfulness is critical
To be sure, we don’t have all the answers to solve all the challenges but at Erevna Leadership, we do have a suite of powerful evidence-based solutions to strengthen some of the core issues above. We're happy to have a chat with you anytime.
We thank our fabulous speakers, Bas Wouters, Mickey Connolly and Priscilla Lim for bravely agreeing to be put on the spot with questions from our host and the audience. You guys were super! Top marks for our wonderful team who worked very hard to deliver this mammoth task successfully. Kudos to Sarah, Kevin, Ashokh, Nicola and Agnes.
And of course, a big “thank you” to all those who took the time to join us. You made the event great!

EXECUTIVE BREAKFAST EVENT
EREVNA LEADERSHIP held an Executive Breakfast Event with Global Gurus in February. The theme was "Building a Culture of Collaborative Growth".
The event attracted 45 senior leaders from 29 organisations in Singapore. One observation that came out of the post-global pandemic was that leaders would be severely tested. Creating a culture of collaboration becomes our antidote to helping bring up the bloom.
The breakfast event featured a fireside chat hosted by Mr. Adrian Chong in Singapore via Zoom with two global gurus: Dr. Robert Cialdini (“Bob”), a renowned scientist known as the "Godfather of Influence" and a NY Times Best-selling author and Ms. Robin Anselmi, CEO and President of Conversant Solutions LLC.
Bob addressed a whole range of questions and the big elephant in the room: are the Principles of Influence still relevant in this moment in time and are all the research cited in his works relevant to Asia? People are invariably similar as a species when we respond "Yes" or "No"! Therefore, the principles are just as relevant to all. The factor most influential will likely be different between cultures but the principles will still be at work. The best part was when he shared some of his latest research, which has not been published. That was a treat!
Robin was an epitome of authentic human connection. We talked about collaborative conversations, increasing trust levels in organizations, psychological safety and driving a deeper sense of purpose. It was an incredibly rich dialogue, with participants bringing up real challenges and Robin sharing her wealth of experience. Her parting message for all leaders: "Communication and Conversations are the work!"

WORKSHOPS
Shanghai, September 2023Delivering a successful inaugural Principles of Persuasion (POP) workshop in China!
The energy, enthusiasm, and engagement of the participants were remarkable. What struck us most was their keen interest in learning—genuinely curious and open. Their commitment made the learning experience truly exceptional. As we delved deep into the science of persuasion and influence, there were many "aha" moments! Singapore, May 2023A customized workshop was designed and delivered to key leaders from the Catholic Leadership Center.
We were happy to empower leaders to deal more confidently with difficult conversations. While it does not guarantee 100% success, it definitely increases one's probability of success. |
Singapore. April 2023We conducted a Masterclass for Authentic Leadership Conversations (ALC) for a group of enthusiastic and driven senior leaders from Sabic.
Powerful models were employed to create a strong foundation for addressing challenging leadership discussions crucial for global business. These discussions involved real, intricate, and multifaceted cases and were conducted through various methods like case studies, role-plays, and discussions. From the outset, participants engaged in robust conversations, fostering a psychologically safe environment where everyone felt comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions. Singapore.Back home, our regular public workshops have been largely well received.
A misconception, "Persuasion," is seen in the context of a sales subject. In truth, many practitioners have successfully learned and are applying the science of influence effectively and ethically to their professional and personal lives. In Authentic Leadership Conversations, participants come away with practical tools and techniques to accelerate their leadership capability to collaborate, communicate and influence. |
