July 07, 2023 06:43 - 17 minutes - 14.6 MB

Do you have a story to tell? Women today are lucky because they have so many platforms on which they can tell their stories.  Storytelling elevates women's voices and gives them more power and influence over the messages they want to send. It improves literacy in many aspects of life, a critical skill for women who want to lead.  However, there are stories that women keep to themselves, stories of pain, stories of difficulties and failures. These kinds of stories, though, are the stories t...

Empowerment & Inclusivity Through Your Personal Branding

June 28, 2023 03:52 - 18 minutes - 15.2 MB

How do others perceive and discuss you when you're not around? Is it positive or negative? Your personal branding is formed by people's opinions of you, which is based on your consistent character and actions. It's the lasting impression you leave behind.

June 09, 2023 01:44 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MB

There is so much buzz around AI or Artificial Intelligence, some with enthusiasm, some with great relief from the benefit it brings, some with fear.  The fear part is understandable in relation to job security but when you look at it in its deeper context, it outweighs the immense potential and opportunities that innovation brings. The advent of AI will pose a challenge to job security, but we can counter it by proactively expanding our knowledge and skills. By doing so, we allow it to shap...

Do you recall the renowned quote by Benjamin Franklin that we learned in school: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy, and wise"?

Empowering Women Through Peer Connections

March 31, 2023 03:31 - 15 minutes - 20.2 MB

As a female leader, it's possible to become so immersed in the demands of the position - from strategizing for the organization's success, to fulfilling numerous obligations - that you may overlook young women in your team who possess the ability to handle more significant responsibilities. One of the ways to empower women is to mentor them.  Finding potential candidates to mentor is really hard, but with the help of the HR team in your organization, you can get the list of prospective cand...

Reflecting on the Past, Shaping the Future

March 24, 2023 04:10 - 18 minutes - 24.6 MB

The past is a powerful tool that anyone can use for personal growth and development. It helps to gain perspective on how to move forward if your past has been a failure.  You know, one of the greatest lessons from the past is often learned from mistakes.  Rather than sulking in regret, blaming yourself with the ‘should haves’.   Get up and learn from failures and make sure that you don’t repeat the same mistakes over and over again. When it does, it only means you have never really learned....

The Power of Women, Beyond Beauty

March 17, 2023 00:58 - 17 minutes - 23.2 MB

In celebration of International Women’s Month, this episode will showcase all the wonderful attributes of a woman. A woman is often associated with beauty because the most important characteristic for beauty according to scientists and researchers comes down to symmetry and women possess that symmetry. Be that as it may, beauty isn't all that women are, they are so much more!   Beauty is only one aspect of a woman's identity and should not define her worth or value. Gather your women frien...

Gatherings: Rediscovering In-Person Connections

March 10, 2023 15:35 - 20 minutes - 27.3 MB

During the pandemic, we have realized more than ever the importance of being in touch physically with loved ones, relatives, friends, colleagues at work, and people within our community.  While it is true that we were able to cope, thanks to the technology of the internet, deep inside we know that nothing compares to in-person connections. The benefits of physical touch, and the biological stimulation that comes with it, go beyond social bonding and can manifest positively in your mental an...

Time Out, Pause and Rest

February 22, 2023 02:42 - 19 minutes - 25.2 MB

Timeout, pause, and rest all aim to achieve the same goal, the only difference being the length of time involved, which can range from a few minutes to extended periods.  As with the English proverb, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”, a productivity-obsessed life can make you forget to take time out to relax, breathe, and recharge, which if not taken seriously can be detrimental to mental and physical health. Personal timeouts can take many forms, such as exercise, meditation, h...

February 14, 2023 00:30 - 18 minutes - 23.7 MB

Have you noticed when what you are doing aligns with your interests, skills and abilities, you are happy and fulfilled?  That experience is called being in the flow.  When we are in the flow, we are more motivated to continue the activity and often feel a sense of accomplishment upon completion. Being in the flow means a feeling where, under the right conditions, you become fully immersed in whatever you are doing. You are in your zone of genius and there’s no stopping you. Would you like t...

Women Game Changers

February 08, 2023 10:24 - 17 minutes - 23.3 MB

Even as society is changing towards gender equality, patriarchal family settings still exist, and the cultural norm still holds that leadership characteristics are more often associated with men. Women have made great strides, but the journey is far more than what we think it is. Women need to do more to even the tide in gender equality.  We need to empower more women to take the seat of leadership because women leadership compared to men are totally different.  In this episode, Nikki Tang ...

We are already halfway into January 2023 and it's understandable that we all want to see a better year especially when it comes to our health and wellness.

Shifting Gears

January 10, 2023 01:02 - 19 minutes - 26.1 MB

This is the first episode of the Grace, Grit and Glow Podcast for the year 2023  and this is a very timely topic offered here by your show host Nikki Tang. Often, we associate the new year to new beginnings, but beginnings usually can occur any time. For example, embarking into married life, having a new baby or having a new job. As we journey through life, we may lose momentum and we need to change gears in order to stay sustained over longer and hillier periods of time. In this episode, y...

Why Is It Good to Ask for Help?

December 28, 2022 03:46 - 17 minutes - 23.2 MB

Are you scared to ask for help for fear of looking incompetent or maybe it could be because of pride? Whatever it is, this self-handicapping behavior can sabotage your chances of success. While it is good to protect our self-esteem, it can also come at a high cost. Asking for help as a sign of weakness is a misconception because in reality it is a hallmark of a mature and resilient learner.  In fact, the number one benefit in asking for help is RESILIENCE. If we are able to ask for help and...

The True Essence of Love

December 21, 2022 02:39 - 13 minutes - 17.8 MB

We talk about love, we write about love, we sing about love, we declare that we are in love, but are those the real essence of love? The truth is -  love is something ALL of us are - already are! All of us are the image of what love is. When we disconnect from this, we sense a ‘loss’ which then propels us in our quest to find the love we think we have ‘lost’. Love is really powerful and as people who are created into the image of a loving God, we can be awesome beings.  You, me, they, we al...

Fostering the Growth Mindset

December 13, 2022 14:17 - 17 minutes - 22.7 MB

When you hear or read the word growth, what comes to mind is progress, change or an increase in something, right?  The ability to learn is one of the ways in which a person can grow. When we learn something new, we get the feeling of accomplishment and it is a good feeling. Developing a growth mindset needs an emphasis on getting better at something through persistence and an open mind. One of the characteristics of having a growth mindset is taking ownership of your actions. When we take r...

Make Better Decisions with Mindfulness

December 07, 2022 04:23 - 18 minutes - 23.8 MB

We all make decisions many times in our lives, some of them minor ones such as what brand to buy for a new washing machine. It is inevitable for us to face making major decisions when we are at the crossroads of our life, such as whether to leave our 9 to 5 day job or take the risk of starting our own business.  When faced with a decision, we are more likely to take the path ‘we want’ rather than the path ‘we should’. Thoughtful decision making comes with practicing mindfulness and we are a...

Setting Up Boundaries with Confidence & Ease

November 30, 2022 10:59 - 19 minutes - 26.2 MB

Setting boundaries isn’t always comfortable because there is fear that  people may push you back. People will always try to test your limits, to see how serious you are about drawing the line. Be patient with yourself if you have trouble setting boundaries because setting boundaries takes practice. In those moments of doubt, we could all use a little reassurance that we’re making the right call when we choose to set up boundaries.  We need to always choose what is best for us - that is self...

The Art of Engaging Leadership

November 21, 2022 05:14 - 19 minutes - 25.4 MB

Engaging leadership is about seeking meaningful contributions and more than just a job title. We are now living in a time where there is a big shift in leadership methodology, from ME to WE -  beyond achievements to service and beyond ambition to inspiration. When employees perceive the existence of an engaging leader, they become inclined to engage, as well, and follow the lead. Businesses and their leaders should invest, not on the kind of investment that involves money, but on time and e...

Communication is Power!

November 11, 2022 07:59 - 18 minutes - 17.2 MB

Do you know that in spite of the technology that is available now to bring information across, there is a disconnect among people?  As a result of underutilizing the power of communication, miscommunication is on the rise. Communication is one of the biggest success factors in any relationship with employees, team members, co-workers, customers, friends and even people that we do not know. There is power in communication, how are you using yours? In this episode of Grace, Grit, and Glow, N...

A True Understanding of Self-Awareness

November 02, 2022 05:41 - 16 minutes - 21.5 MB

When you hear someone telling you, "Are you even listening to yourself?", what does it imply? It means that you are being asked to examine yourself intensively. In listening to yourself, you  learn and grow in that place of awareness, with profound positive impacts on your mental and physical well-being. Self-awareness is a never ending skill to master but it will bring you immense benefits.  The more you know about yourself, it will be easier to adjust to life's challenges and changes. When...

Motivation for Lazy, Disengaged, and Disconnected Teams

October 17, 2022 01:04 - 19 minutes - 25.5 MB

Do you believe that there are really inherently lazy people? People are not biologically wired to do as little as possible, but yes there is a small fraction of people who are really lazy.  Laziness, though, is not a personality flaw but forced out of habit.  People don’t actively participate in work because they are demotivated or some other reasons. In addition, there are also many management flaws that need to be addressed, so that laziness, disengagement, and disconnection among team mem...

Building a Successful Team Through Team Building

October 07, 2022 00:14 - 17 minutes - 23.1 MB

Have you participated in a team-building activity organized by your employer?  That is a wonderful experience, isn’t it?  It has likely provided you with valuable takeaways that have helped you in performing your job better.  Not only that, you are able to build on trust in order to collaborate better with your colleagues in the company.  For employees, this is one way of gauging that the company is also focused on their welfare.  Having an annual team building is not a one-way street benef...

Are You Busy or Are You Productive?

September 22, 2022 01:18 - 15 minutes - 21.1 MB

It is a misnomer to confuse busy and productive, which are two different words with different meanings, but some mistakenly believe they are one and the same. You can be busy but not productive and you can be productive without being busy.  In this episode of Grace, Grit & Glow, host and 'Beautypreneur' Nikki Tang delves into the difference between being busy and being productive. In the workforce, the word “busy” is often used by some to justify not being able to handle or accept new tasks...

Toxic Perfectionism, a Danger to Mental Health

September 15, 2022 10:26 - 15 minutes - 21.1 MB

To seek perfection is good, but we have to accept the fact that there are limitations to being human.  People who seek to be perfect usually come from a place of FEAR of judgment and disapproval from others. Perfectionism can impact many areas of a person’s life and it can affect someone in the workplace, at home, in relationships, in careers, etc.  As perfectionism is self-imposed, you are the only one who can play a major role in recovering from its negative effects. The first and most imp...

The Insidious Enemy: Procrastination

September 07, 2022 11:18 - 15 minutes - 20.4 MB

Do you sometimes find it hard to make a choice buying something when at a grocery store, that you end up not buying at all?  Sometimes we hold off doing something or acting on something because we want to make the right choice.  This kind of indecision is called “decision paralysis” and often it plays an important factor in why people procrastinate.  The saying “Do not put off for tomorrow what you can do today” does make a lot of sense and can be our battle cry against procrastination. In ...

Decluttering: Choosing Less to Improve Your Well-Being

August 31, 2022 06:15 - 19 minutes - 25.3 MB

What do you feel when there is clutter? Research says that the levels of the stress hormones are higher when there is clutter.  Just looking at the sheer amount of stuff in our home or workspace can make us feel tired and anxious before we even get started. During the pandemic, a remote work environment adds to anxiety because there is no designated space in the home for a workspace, and working in the living room and the bedroom adds clutter to the space. In this episode of Grace, Grit & G...

The Psychology of Wealth

August 24, 2022 07:45 - 17 minutes - 22.3 MB

What comes to mind when you see or hear the word “wealth”? Some would say “Health is wealth.”, for some, a life fully lived, to others, a blessing, but for most it is money. Wealth is basically a state of mind, a mindset, and sometimes even your being. In other words, there is a psychology in WEALTH.  There are those who feel insecure when it comes to wealth,  yet there are those who have far less but consider themselves blessed. Wealth impacts our sense of morality, our relationship with o...

Why is CLARITY So Important?

August 17, 2022 09:46 - 18 minutes - 23.5 MB

Sometimes what makes us slide back into being indecisive is the lack of clarity in the things that we do. Clarity plays a very important part in decision-making, whether big or small. If you want to make better decisions and trust yourself more in the process, you need to have strategies in place so that distractions will not derail you. Do you want to know Nikki's strategies in getting CLARITY in the many hats that she wears?  Listen to this episode and learn valuable lessons to achieve a ...

The Mastery of Win-Win Negotiations

August 11, 2022 05:11 - 17 minutes - 23.6 MB

Negotiating has been part of our life ever since we were young. Remember how as a child you are already negotiating with your parents when you want to have a new toy? Basically, negotiation is a communication skill and how you plan to meet halfway will depend on your conviction, patience, and preparation.  Negotiations are a constant part of business.  It is the bargaining power, what you are willing to give and take in the exchange. Negotiation holds the key to getting ahead in the workplac...

The Balance in Our Leadership Skills

June 17, 2022 09:40 - 15 minutes - 21.7 MB

Can you imagine yourself as a leader with only one strength?  That would be a disaster!  You will not be effective as a leader because most likely you are going to be using that one strength over and over for different situations. Leadership roles are indeed intimidating! You are responsible for your team’s performance and well-being, but taking on too much of the burden will burn you and your employees out.  In this episode of Grace, Grit & Glow, you will learn effective approaches on how ...

Self-Appreciation = Me, Myself & I

June 07, 2022 10:17 - 16 minutes - 22.5 MB

Self-Appreciation for one self is what people need these days - to be conscious and embrace the positive within, without the need of comparing to others. But why is it that some people would shy away from praise or cringe when they are being acknowledged or praised? Perhaps it is in the way that we are brought up, especially women in a very strong patriarchal environment.  They take the back seat because they think that it is their role to be “just” the support of the patriarchs in the famil...

How Does Inner Beauty Look Like?

May 31, 2022 03:39 - 17 minutes - 24.4 MB

Most people would spend a lot of time enhancing their outward appearance, especially women. However, it’s not what’s on the outside that counts but rather the inside -  what’s your true worth! True beauty is beyond that first impression.  It’s a whole new way of perception especially when people get to know you more as you connect to people often. More than what you look like, your true worth lies within and that is called “Inner Beauty” In this episode of Grace, Grit & Glow, I will give yo...

Pursuing Your Purpose in Life

May 23, 2022 01:00 - 14 minutes - 25.8 MB

Everyone wants to know how to find their purpose in life or how to distinguish between a life’s purpose statement and a dream.  What is your purpose? What actions can you take to pursue it? How do you live true to your values and set goals that are meaningful to you? Do you believe that before you're even born, you already have a purpose in life? It's normal to have these questions since life's purpose is our reason for being alive. It helps us to find meaning, direction, and live a fulfill...

Why Do You Keep Falling Short of Your Goal?

May 16, 2022 09:00 - 19 minutes - 28 MB

Goals are things you want to achieve in your life – they represent your life’s dreams and aspirations. In pursuit of our personal goals and career, supposedly we need to take action, but these goals remain as goals without resulting in any action. There is a big difference, though, between defining ‘what’ those goals are and merely stating what you ‘hope’ will happen. Establishing goals is like an uphill climb when there are obstacles and the key elements are not aligned with each other. If ...
