Innovation Career Catalyst Workshop
Hi, I'm very close to finishing our long-awaited Innovation Career Catalyst Workshop. I've been working and refining the Innovation Launch Story Framework™ which also cover Innovation Career Launch for a few years, and I'm finally going to wrap it up.
However, I need your help! Before I finalise everything, I would like to make sure that I have covered everything. That's where you come in. There are important things I'd like to ask you...
But before that, let me share more details about this workshop first, so we can design this workshop together, make sure you've everything you need to succeed, provide the relevant information right when you need it based on your current situation to prevent information overload, have the best coaching experience based on your unique training needs, and achieve real results faster!
Why We Need This Workshop Right Now?
In the world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rewriting job descriptions, industries are shifting, and new innovative roles appear every month, the people who succeed aren’t the ones who memorise interview scripts or those with the most polished resume.
Ever since a long time ago, job roles keep changing as the world evolve, and as the needs of the previous job roles are decreasing, the needs for new job roles are increasing, and the needs of developing a new set of skills are arising. Jobs are not disappearing, they are changing, and they are changing in front of you, right at this moment!
Technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are accelerating what's possible, and it redefines expectations across businesses, industries, and markets, which shifts attention away from routine toward creativity, innovation, and higher-order thinking. Many people are struggling because the job market is highly competitive nowadays and lack of entry-level positions as these positions are being replaced by technologies or AI. As the world change and advanced technology adoption spreads, it raises the bar higher than ever before.
This rapid change has left many people feeling anxious, stuck, and deeply vulnerable to economic shifts. However, inside this massive shift lies hidden career opportunities. The marketplace demand for real innovators who can bridge modern gaps and stand out are skyrocketing.
The best way to truly stand out in the market is by discovering and becoming who you truly are, so you can discover the hidden skills you can leverage and monetise to stand out based on what you can uniquely contribute to the world, and work on exciting innovation projects within a company. Innovation Career Launch is about discovering who you are, developing your confidence, overcoming your fears, and mastering innovation skills.
Resumes are not very important right now. That's why many people tried to refine their resume, apply for a job online, or even use AI to write their resumes or cover letters, yet still cannot find a job. If millions or billions of people are doing the same thing, you'll need to do a different thing to stand out! It's not good to be better on things that will obsolete soon. It's not good to be better at collecting late rent fees like Blockbuster. It's good to be better at innovation, like Netflix subscription. Resumes only reflects the educational or work history, not who you are, and what you're really capable of becoming. It can no longer prove your real-world capabilities!
In the era of technology and AI, most companies don't care about what you know anymore. They only care about what you can solve, validate, implement, and execute!
Innovation skills, such as creativity, empathy, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, creative problem-solving, resilience, adaptability, communication and networking skills, analytical skills, leadership, project management, digital pipeline optimisation, automated workflow design and implementation are the most valuable skills in business world right now, and just like other skills, we need to develop and master those skills. Once you understand how to discover the business gaps and innovation opportunities, you will have the most powerful professional leverage to unlock your next big innovative career opportunities!
Most people think that the only path to become innovator is through entrepreneurship, which is not true. The truth is, innovation skill is a transferrable skill, you can apply these skills when you launch your online business as innovative founders and when you launch your innovation career or lead innovation projects within a company as innovative professionals or leaders. It's the same skill, but different context! When you level up your innovation skills, you expand your opportunities and give yourself more options to choose! Innovation doesn't always refer to technology. Innovation is about discovering a new or better way to solve a problem, and technology can be one of the solutions, but it's not the only solution.
Most of us cannot suddenly become a great leader by memorising theories all night. If you would like to become an innovative professionals or leaders to launch your innovation career or lead innovation projects within a company, it's also not by memorising theories all night. That's why I designed this workshop (group coaching), and also learning games (practice in a safe environment), so you can level up your innovation skills, fortified to overcome the challenges ahead, and empower you to get prepared to work on your innovation projects within the company!
If you choose to do nothing, the world loses the unique innovative solution only you can provide, and your own life may stay trapped exactly where it is, watching your personal savings shrink against inflation, and stuck in a soul-crushing pattern of overthinking and financial anxiety.
But if you choose to discover who you truly are, offer the unique innovative solutions that companies find it difficult to refuse, you can work on exciting innovation projects within a company with amazing people who respect you and your expertise!
I understand that some of us are hurting right now. But the truth is, most of us are hurting, struggling, and trying to overcome our challenges, that's why we need to help each other. If you want to successfully launch your innovation career, if you want to overcome your fears, depression, or hopelessness, you'll need to know that you're not the only one who's in pain, transform all your pain into strength, understand what the current business owners or executive directors are currently facing right now, and discover how to support them overcome those challenges with unique innovative solutions you can offer them.
I believe everyone have at least a minimum of one thing they can offer to the world! Some people can offer a lot of things, but it's also fine even if some of us can only offer one thing for the world! What matters is that we support each other to overcome challenges together and make the world a better place with innovative solutions!
Innovation Career Catalyst Workshop is the culmination of my research and experiences. I designed this workshop because I understand that discovering the career path that's right for you in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often the most challenging part of the journey, and I would like to share my research, experiences and frameworks, so you can achieve your true potentials, accelerate your professional growth, and launch your innovation career!
In the world where there are some people who envy your success or trying to downplay your success, I want to be the person who stand on your side and celebrate your growth, your courage, your wins, and your success! I want to see you shine like the brightest star while sharing your stories with the audience! That's why I designed the launch festival, so we can celebrate together!
Nowadays, it's difficult to become a speaker if you are just starting, so even if you seek for collaboration to offer free webinar to share your ideas, the companies may reject your proposal, and keep posting on the social media by yourself may take a very long time. But here, we are not only providing the spotlight, we are also preparing you for the launch festival, so you can gain instant credibility even if you're just starting!
I want you to see how far you can go and how successful you could become with the right support and community!
What if you could discover the hidden skills you can leverage to build your innovation portfolio, fast track your career opportunities, bypass the traditional system, and unlock high-velocity career paths? What if you could identify future-proof roles that excites you, before the market shifts again? What if you could position yourself as innovators and stand out from the competition? What if you could discover high-impact innovative roles that don’t even exist yet, but are desperately needed in the market right now? What if you could do what AI cannot do?
What is this workshop is all about?
Innovation Career Catalyst Workshop start from what truly matters. We start from discovering the hidden skills you can leverage and monetise to stand out based on what you can uniquely contribute to the world. Innovation Career Catalyst Workshop doesn't rely on your educational qualification or work experience, so you can design a new innovative roles that doesn't even exist yet and launch your innovation career, even if you have never done this before, and even if you are introverts who are not interested in spotlight and don't want to pretend to be someone else on camera to chase vanity likes. (In fact, I am an introvert too!)
This workshop will be focused on discovering the hidden skills you can monetise, discovering innovation career roles that's align with who you are with a high demand in the era of AI, design your Innovation Portfolio, and build forward-thinking mindset to adapt faster than market shifts, so you can stand out from competition, and position yourself as an innovative professionals. We will also share our Innovation Launch Story Framework ™ during the workshop.
Innovation Launch Story Framework™ utilise advanced launch framework, high-leverage principles and optimised specifically for innovation career launch. I will also integrate strategic storytelling framework, so you can immediately stand out in a crowded market, build trust and connect with your future employers or partners. I will show you how to apply these high-level principles to discover hidden innovation career opportunities that's aligned with who you are!
If you move fast, you can win faster, because not many people are doing this yet, so you can instantly stand out from the competition! Once too many people do this, it's going to be more difficult to stand out. This is a first-mover advantage!
Many people think that it's impossible for graduates to get a job in the era of AI, but this is not true. When I attended a pitch night event in Australia, I saw a student who stand out. When everyone is busy figuring out their resume or interview, she decided to participate in a launchpad program and start helping people improving their LinkedIn profiles. She eventually landed a job as a consultant in a consulting company before she even graduated! This is based on a true story. I shared this story because I want to show you that it's not impossible, but you'll need the right strategy!
I'm here to empower you to to find the path that fits your values, skills, circumstances, and life stage the best. I want you to level up innovation skills that can protect your future and expand your opportunities, not to gamble it away!
These are the questions I am planning to answer during the workshop, but please let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to cover, so I can add the new topic during the workshop, or if there's any of the topics below that you think is not relevant for you, please let me know, and I will re-consider if we should include this during the workshop or exclude it.

How this workshop will be delivered and what to expect?
I designed this workshop to be flexible for Polytechnics or Universities graduates, students who are on their final year of the Polytechnics or Universities (18 years old and above), and for busy people who are currently working on a job, so you can launch your innovation career, no matter how limited your time is, and save yourself from wasting time confused, lost, or stuck on things that doesn't move you forward!
I will be releasing this workshop as an exclusive, strategic free workshop delivered via a learning management system and this will include free 3 training sessions delivered over a week. However, we utilise the "window time" instead of a live online session.
For example, if the first workshop video session is scheduled to be released on Tuesday at 6PM, and Jane is working from home, after work, she can check the video and ask any questions she would like us to cover on the next session before Tuesday at 11.59PM.
If the second workshop video session is scheduled to be released on Thursday at 6PM, John can travel to his condo and have a family dinner first, then login at 8.30PM to check the video and ask any questions he would like us to cover on the next session before Thursday 11.59PM. It's more flexible than the usual online training session via video conferencing app.
What do you think about this format? Would the "window time" be okay for you, or if there's any of you who are working until 10PM, then I can extend the "window time" until the next day at 9AM, so if the video is released on Monday 6PM, then the due date to ask your questions before the next session will be on Tuesday at 9AM, the next day. Would you like me to extend this?
Please let me know your preference in the form below. I have provided the "optional" field, so you can let me know everything you'd like me to know, so I can tailor the workshop for you.

The business world is shifting faster than ever and the people who adapt faster are the ones who grow the fastest. Most of us don't have unlimited time to figure this out on our own, and you know you deserve clarity, confidence and clear path to move forward, not another year of guessing, trying random strategies, or feeling stuck. I don’t want you to wait until you’re burnt out, discouraged, money is running out, or opportunities are slipping away.

When someone gives you gold as a gift, the value remains unchanged, and gold is tested through fire. It doesn't lose its worth simply because you did not pay for it. When I give you a Free Workshop Seat as a gift, the value of high-leverage framework remains unchanged, and the principles will stand through the test of time.

What's Next?
Story Reflection Workshop
What if you could become a next generation of innovator who discover high-impact innovative ideas and enrich the world with innovative solutions, collaborate with hyperconnected network of innovators who respect you and your expertise? What if you could surround yourself with people who cannot wait to work with you to shape the world for the better with innovative solutions?
Who is this for?
A. Traditional Career to Innovation Career
The Story of Thalia (Fictional story for illustration purposes only)
Thalia was an exceptionally empathetic psychologist working at a traditional, face-to-face mental health practice. Over the past year, venture-backed digital therapy apps began eating into the firm's client base, causing corporate management to panic over shrinking profit margins. Instead of innovating, the owners executed a brutal cost-cutting manoeuvre. They abruptly fired 15 of Thalia's colleagues in a single afternoon to slash immediate payroll overhead. But the total patient workload didn't shrink. Management simply dumped the massive extra caseload onto the remaining therapists who survived the layoffs. They radically inflated the mandatory face-to-face quotas, forcing her to jam an impossible number of back-to-back sessions into her week with zero breaks.
Thalia was utterly exhausted. She knew she was operating in a collapsing system, and it was only a matter of time before she missed her newly inflated metrics and became the next casualty. She desperately needed an exit strategy before the system crushed her completely.
Based on this fictional story example, we can empower Thalia to discover the innovation career opportunities that is desperately needed by the market right now. When she started her market research with strategic launch framework, she discovered that there is a recent increase in harassment against frontline hospital staff. She can step in to defuse the situation and provide emotional support to the patient and hospital staff. She can also provide emotional support to a single mother who sat sobbing alone in the waiting area, paralysed with fear while waiting for her child to come out of surgery. However, because hospitals didn't have a pre-existing budget slot for this title, Thalia had to convince healthcare leaders of its critical importance.
When she participated in the interactive launch event, there's no management team of the hospital who attended the event, so she feels very discouraged at that time. Over the next few weeks, she keeps working as usual in her traditional form. However, one day, she received an email from a frontline hospital staff. She attended the launch event, listened to her stories, and recommended her to her management team. She would like to invite her to present in front of her management team at the hospital. After that, she finally secured a position as a Patient Experience Specialist inside a private hospital, and resigned from her traditional firm.
The Story of Yi Xing (Fictional story for illustration purposes only)
Yi Xing graduated knowing that she loves to write stories. She possessed a deep love for words, imagery, and narrative. However, when she looked at traditional job listings, she felt completely isolated and demoralised. When she searched for a writer role, every listing was for standard journalism roles, which she has no interest in. Confused, overwhelmed by the lack of clear options, and needing an income to pay the rent, she decided to step in and temporarily work as a cashier at her cousin’s local retail shop just to buy herself some time while waiting for the right opportunities. But as weeks turn into months, she is worried if she will ever discover an innovative career path that's right for her.
Based on this fictional story example, we can empower Yi Xing to discover the hidden skills she can monetise and career path that's aligned with who she is. When Yi Xing started her market research with strategic launch framework, she discovered that she could become a Corporate Storyteller. Then, she tried to build her innovation portfolio around this role. She started with writing founder stories for her cousin's retail shop. After that, she discovered that storytelling can attract customers, align diverse teams, improve teamwork, and develop a great business culture too, and keep building her innovation portfolio. When she participated in the interactive launch event, one of the companies are interested in her service, and offer her a job as a Junior Corporate Storyteller with an elite salary. Yi Xing didn't just find a job opening; she made the market realise they needed her. She handed the keys of the retail register back to her cousin and accepted the offer. She finally work on things she loves.
If these scenarios of Thalia and Yi Xing resonates with you, we can empower you to launch your innovation career, unleash your high-impact innovative potentials, discover the career path that's right for you, build your innovation portfolio, establish innovation career that don't exist yet, but desperately needed in the market right now, and transition your career effectively.
B. Professionals or Career Switchers to Innovative Professionals or Founders
The Story of Leighton (Fictional story for illustration purposes only)
Leighton was the anchor of his department. If people in the office need a spreadsheet fixed, a contract tracked down, or a logistics nightmare solved, they ask Leighton for help. His official title was Office Administrator, but behind the routine data entry, endless email chains and paperwork, his mind worked differently.
He noticed a painful bottleneck right after a new client signed a high-ticket contract. Because the handoff between the sales team and the operational team was entirely manual, it took 7 business days just to get a new client onboarded, integrated into the software, and assigned a dedicated team member. During those one week of silence, new clients felt ignored. The agency was suffering from a 10% cancellation rate before the projects even started, bleeding thousands of dollars in refunded deposits every single month. He was constantly looking for a solution during lunch. He brought his ideas to management, but both times, he was met with a polite, patronising smile, and they keep asking him to focused on the tracking sheets.
Leighton felt trapped in a golden cage. He was deeply unfulfilled, but he had a comfortable salary, stability, and bills to pay. He desperately wanted to participate in an innovation project. He knows that he can do so much more than just working on the administrative tasks. He wanted to participate in high-level strategic shifts, and to achieve his true potentials. But he was paralysed by confusion and fear. He didn't know how to discover or start innovation project, or justify an innovation project to the management team. And above all, he was terrified of risking the stable admin job that kept his life secure.
Based on this fictional story example, we can empower Leighton to measure the financial impact of his ideas, frame his solutions in the language of revenue and efficiency, and develop his innovation portfolio. When Leighton packaged his Customer Experience Blueprint inside his Innovation Portfolio with strategic launch framework, he shows that he can reduce the response time down to under 24 hours. A rapidly growing innovative firm executive was actively struggling with the exact same customer onboarding delays saw his potentials and offer him a job as the Operations and Process Lead. Then, he finally resigned from his administrative job, and integrate new CRM and automation software, trained the employees on how to use the new system, empower junior assistants to handle customers effectively, and continuously improves the company's operational systems.
If this scenario of Leighton resonates with you, we can empower you to become an innovator who work on innovative projects with the team who respect your expertise, achieve your true potentials, build your innovation portfolio, and go where you're appreciated, not tolerated.
The Story of Evander (Fictional story for illustration purposes only)
Evander spent 8 consecutive years climbing the corporate ladder, eventually serving as a Senior Corporate Project Manager for a regional financial institution. He accumulated a mountain of heavy operational data, successfully managed massive budgets, and coordinated complex cross-functional teams to deliver projects flawlessly. Then, a sudden corporate downsizing swept through his division to slash company overhead. Overnight, Evander was laid off.
Now, Evander sits at his kitchen table completely blindsided, panicked, and trapped in a desperate, exhausting loop of trying to secure a new job. He uploads his resume into empty corporate job boards, fills out endless automated application fields, and receives nothing but silent rejection letters. Because his entire career was built around managing internal corporate workflows, his confidence is deeply shaken and he is totally unsure of what to do next.
Based on this fictional story example, we can empower Evander to discover the hidden skills he can monetise, identify highly relevant service he can provide in the market right now, and validate his practical capabilities. In the beginning, Evander would like to become an innovative professionals, so he can secured a job in the company again. However, when Evander started to focus on offering his service with strategic launch framework through an interactive launch event, he received lots of interest from companies who needs his service, so he decided to start his innovative online service business as an innovative founder.
He understands that he could become an innovative professionals inside the company, as an intrapreneur, and also outside of the company, as an entrepnreneur, and he decided to take the entrepreneurship pathway. He transition from a job seeker into a high-ticket independent project consultant, turning his sudden layoff into his most profitable career victory, and successfully secure high-ticket project from his clients without relying on job applications anymore.
If this scenario of Evander resonates with your current situation, if you are not sure if entrepreneurs or intrapreneurs path is right for you, or if you're looking to start your innovative online service business without risking your hard-earned personal savings, we can empower you to reclaim and achieve your true potential, instantly gain credibility as an innovator, run asset-light online business without traditional office overhead, confidently package your offer to attract high-quality clients, and build independent career path on your own terms.
C. Students or Graduates to Innovative Professionals or Founders
The Story of Leonora (Fictional story for illustration purposes only)
Leonora worked tirelessly to complete her university degree, believing that her bachelor's degree certificate guarantees a safe, high-paying corporate career. Instead, she walked into a hyper-ruthless job market where she needs to deal with constant rejection or silence after graduation. She has a Bachelor in Business degree, without any specialisation. Leonora is highly intelligent, but she sits at home completely paralysed, overwhelmed, and unsure of what job she even wants to pursue. She spent months applying for hundreds of random administrative and entry-level positions on corporate job boards, facing nothing but constant automated rejections.
Based on this fictional story example, we can empower Leonora to discover the career path that's most relevant in the era of technology and AI (Artificial Intelligence), and aligned with her skills, build her innovation portfolio, stand out from the competition, and expand her career opportunities as an innovative professional.
When Leonora discover us, she assumed we are only empowering people to start their innovative online service business through workshop and event, but that's not true, because not everyone needs to go through the launch event, and innovation skills are transferrable skills. When Leonora finally discovered her career path with strategic launch framework and decided to offer her social media service to build her innovation portfolio, she stand out from the hyper-competitive job market. Then, she received a full-time job offer as a Digital Communication Officer in the company, because they are impressed with her innovation portfolio. She understood that she could also pursue the entrepreneurship pathway, but she decided to take the full-time position, because she believes it's the right decision for her.
The Story of Hilwan (Fictional story for illustration purposes only)
Hilwan is an incredibly talented, hardworking student who is just months away from completing his bachelor's degree in computer programming, software coding, and IT systems. He should be excited for his future, but instead, he sits at his desk in an absolute panic. The world has radically changed. Every day, he sees advanced AI tools writing clean, complex code in seconds, and he is deeply terrified that his entire degree is being made obsolete before he even steps onto the field. He is confused, overwhelmed, and completely unsure of his direction.
Based on this fictional story example, we can empower Hilwan to discover the career path that's most relevant in the era of technology and AI (Artificial Intelligence) and aligned with his skills, build his innovation portfolio, stand out from the competition, and expand his career opportunities as an innovative professional. When Hilwan decided to run structured market research months before graduation with strategic launch framework, he discovered the gap in the market, and realised that modern AI can write code, but business owners have zero idea how to integrate those AI system to automate their business operations.
After graduation, Hilwan's friends struggle to apply for jobs, while he decided to become a freelancer and setup his profile in a popular freelancing platform, release the AI system automation offer he has finalised beforehand, and show the innovation portfolio he has been building before graduation. His profile immediately stand out and he managed to secure his first paying client through the platform. He stay ahead of the competition because he transform his positioning from invisible coder to a high-velocity AI automation service provider, and turned his AI replacement fear into his absolute greatest unfair advantage! One day, one of his clients offer him a full-time job under 2 years contract to work on an innovative digital project, and he decided to accept it since the company offer him a stable salary exceeding his usual freelancing income and professional growth support for him.
If these scenarios of Leonora and Hilwan resonates with your current situation, and you are students who is about to graduate or graduates who are looking for a new direction, if you want a fast-track pathway to a stable corporate career without being an entrepreneur, or if you want to discover how to monetise your skills and get your first paying client as an innovative professional, freelancer, or innovative online service business owner, we can empower you to discover the career path that's right for you, achieve your true potential, build your innovation portfolio, and confidently design your career path based on who you are!
