21Sept-TPYEast S3

Thanks to Mdm Lim, we were invited to do S3 in TPY East. Today the group is different. 80% are working but took off to join the 1hr session at 2.30pm. Although we were supposed to have 8 pax, only 6 turn up (blame the weather..hahaha!!!) Mum and Ming supported the session as most of my other LY partners are all busy working ...hahaha!!! Interesting to think that they all started not doing anything in particular and now  are all busy working ...is it LYoga? A small group but great laughter ...see the movie lah!!! As Dr Jia Jia said "Kee Chiu - raise your hand" for a good laugh today...hahaha!!!

18thSept'12-LY@MOE-NorthBuonaVista

We (Eric, Fay and ES) were at the North Buona Vista MOE  premises (under Worklife Solution) laughing with 20+ staff of MOE for 1 hour...from 12.30pm.
This was inline with their OLIVE launch.  I hope those present at the session will continue to spread the laughter ..very good very good yeah!!!
Unfortunately, we can't show those laughable moments...hahaha!!!

OLive is an integrated approach to developing and enhancing staff well-being. It looks into the physical, emotional and social development of staff so as to enable them to achieve well-being in different aspects of their lives- self, family, work and community & environment.

Didn't know the olive is so precious...read ... quote...www.moeolive.org 

Like the small olive fruit which is packed with wondrous nutrients for health and growth, OLive aims to promote staff well-being by providing opportunities for their social, emotional and physical growth.

However, just as the olive fruit can only become palatable after processing to remove the inherent bitterness, OLive aims to motivate staff to take ownership of their own well-being and actively work towards bringing meaning, vitality and exuberance to self, family, work and community & environment.

Despite changes in the world environment, olives trees are still very much treasured and valued. They can live up to several centuries and remain productive if they are pruned correctly and regularly. Drawing a lesson from the resilience and sustenance of the olive tree, OLive will engage staff and stakeholders for feedback and ideas that can contribute to strengthening the growth and well-being of the education community. Even while we build the capacity and capability of our staff to face future challenges in life and the working environment, OLive will anchor staff on the cultivation of "heartware" and intrinsic motivation which makes our education service unique. OLive will engage staff in building and sustaining their inner well-being, family values and work values.

With OLive providing the opportunities, management providing the support, and staff taking ownership of their own well-being, MOE will be a great place for work and growth!
