Become a Design Thinker
In Become a Design Thinker Podcast, we will explore life reinvention stories in different contexts from the perspective of Design Thinking, and see how the lessons learnt from these stories can be applied in our daily work and life.
Design thinking is the designers’ mindset in the design process – how they discover the root problems and test possible solutions to keep making improvements. We will be uploading new episodes every two weeks. Our goal is to empower you with this design-thinking mindset so that you can reinvent your work and life by design.
"Become a Design Thinker" is your decision to step out for a change and to become who you aspire to be.

Become a Community Steward: Design a Learning Community that Embraces Risk-taking
When we are breaking our comfort zone - our career reinvention, identity shifts, and burnout, the loneliness of solo work, loss of focus, disorientation, and fast-changing work contexts require others’ support.
We need communities that embrace risk-taking—especially in learning something new or exploring new terrain — because our growth, transformation, and creativity all begin at the edge of uncertainty. Without an environment that normalizes risk, we default to conformity and safety.
A risk-embracing community makes us feel safe to try, fail, learn, and try again.
For any action without taking a risk, we’re not growing — we’re just repeating what we used to do.
When we are breaking our comfort zone and transiting to where we aspire to be, a risk-embracing community makes those transitions less lonely and more possible.
In this episode, we’ll learn from the biblical character Barnabas, the early church’s great encourager. He didn’t lead with ego or control. We will explore how to shift from control to trust, from performance to participation, and from perfection to experimentation.
We are deeply grateful if you could take a moment to share your thoughts, ideas, or feedback with us. You can email us directly at:
