Have you recently stopped to think about what your strengths are? Do you know how to invest in those strengths to be successful in your personal and professional life? Well, our guest today was fortunate enough to harness his strengths early on in his life and he's reaping the successes of that today. Our guest, James Koh, CEO, and Founder of James Kenneth Koh Executive Search has been recruiting across Asia Pacific for over 20 years for the likes of TMP and Aquent. In 2010 he fearlessly decided to go it alone and has built a thriving recruitment business within the marketing communication industry.
What you'll be struct immediately when you first meet James is that he's not your conventional recruitment leader. He isn't one to don a stiff suit and conform. He's the guy that lights up a room, his positive and contagious energy has you gripped. James found his early passions in the interior design space before venturing into recruitment. Not something that tends to be paired together. He has transformed homes for clients as well as being a regular host on the HGTV channel for a popular show called “Small Spaces”.
In this cast, he will shine a light on how being creative has helped him be the leader he is today and will share why it’s important having a passion outside of work. With his wealth of experience, James has been through SARS, 9/11, and the Global Financial Crisis and will leave you with practical tips and advice that will help you to “ride out the storm” of Covid-19.
This is a highly entertaining cast that should not be missed. If you want to come out the other side of 2020 smiling, then tune in, it's upbeat and inspiring.
