Today, 2 December, AMCHAM held a virtual workshop on how to lead in influence without authority. The second entry as part of AMCHAM’s Women’s Week, brought together two trainers - Angela Cheung, Managing Director of APV, and Treena Nairne, Director of Dashpoint Management to conduct the workshop.

Due to the recent announcement of the extension of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) throughout most of the country until 6 December, AMCHAM has decided to postpone our much-loved Thanksgiving Luncheon to accommodate the rules around larger groups.

The Thanksgiving Luncheon will now take place at Hilton Kuala Lumpur on 14 December (Monday), 12.00pm - 2.00pm.

We are hoping that come December we will all be able to safely celebrate together.

Pandemic fatigue: it’s plaguing organizations and employees right now. In 2020, we’ve endured a global pandemic, a massive economic crisis, and widespread social unrest. Layer on top of that forces that are fundamentally reshaping societies—technological innovation, business-model disruption, societal inequality, and workforce automation—and it’s clear that an epidemic of stress has been building, with the COVID-19 crisis as the tipping point.
