Being the Chief People Officer of AXA Affin General Insurance Berhad, Syukri Sudari has, like many of us, needed to adapt in work and life in recent months. But that is only half the story. In a wide ranging and very open conversation with our Inspire Group Asia CEO James McCulloch, Syukri shares how his love of people, ability to see challenges as opportunities and his inspiring strength to grow and learn from life changing and tragic events has shaped him and continues to do so. As Syukri says, ‘we need to live fully, and focus on what we can change and what we can influence’. Wise words indeed!

Matt Ash is the Director of Learning Performance at Media Zoo. He's also the man with no name gunslinger who is here to clean up the town  armed with with some badass tattoos and a gun called truth. I'm rambling but you get what I mean. We need more Matt Ash's in the industry shining a light on the good stuff and calling bullshit on the stuff that just doesn't matter. And asking the questions that need to be asked - like do we need learning designers? And his rage is very eloquent - must be the accent.  Enjoy!

Joining Touch n Go, one of the most prominent payment technology enterprises in Malaysia, in early 2020 as Head of Learning and Development has certainly been interesting timing for Dr Amina Kayani. Having met in KL in January, our Inspire Group Asia CEO James McCulloch catches up with Dr Amina to see how she has found 2020 so far, and what reflections on this drawing on both her wide academic background and also how workplaces and teams have been forced to adapt quickly during Covid restrictions.

"We can be just as inspired by failures too: its not all about success stories. There is learning from every situation" - Dr Amina Kayani
