SHAH ALAM - Sinar Daily's curated women's networking event, She Leads 3, with the theme of ‘Elevating the Fitness of Your Mind and Body,’ has once again captivated audiences with its focus on enhancing mental health and fitness in the workplace.
The third pocket series held at Karangkraf Media Complex yesterday promoted ways to manage workplace stress effectively, foster a supportive and healthy work environment and boost productivity and job satisfaction.
The event featured two distinguished panellists, fitness coach Kevin Zahri and clinical psychologist Yasmin Khan, who captivated the audience with their focus on boosting mental health and fitness in the workplace.
Sinar Daily editor Tasnim Lokman highlighted the success of the event, emphasising the quality of the attendees and their purposeful engagement.
"At Sinar Daily, our priority is quality over quantity. The people who attended knew what they wanted, had a purpose and were very precise about what they wanted to learn from our panellists.
"They also managed to connect with people from other industries that suited their interests. So, I would say the programme is a success because we managed to get the right people for the event on the right topic," she said.
Tasnim said she was particularly impressed by the audience's engagement and their willingness to ask sensitive questions.
She added that major moments included the audience bravely addressing sensitive topics such as death, grieving and facing fears.
She stressed that while the panel was amazing and shared all the necessary insights, the true magic of the event laid in the audiences’ participation.
Tasnim said it was in these moments that everyone realised they shared similar feelings, it is just how each person deals with those feelings that vary.
"And the fact that Kevin and Yasmin managed to identify that everybody copes in different ways is the best thing because some people go on social media to cope, they reveal everything (while) some people go MIA (missing in action) so it's important to know what to say, where to say, how to say it but the most important thing obviously is communication,” she added.
A well-known Malaysian fitness icon, Kevin, is a certified personal trainer and nutritionist with over two decades years of experience in the health and fitness industry.
Known as 'Cikgu Fitness Malaysia,' his engaging approach has made fitness accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
His popular 'Jom Kurus' weight loss programme has helped thousands of Malaysians achieve their fitness goals.
Meanwhile, Yasmin brought a wealth of knowledge and experience in mental health to the event.
Her extensive background includes working with a diverse range of clients, providing compassionate care and evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual's unique needs.
Yasmin's expertise in corporate environments, through offering Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, highlights the critical importance of mental health in the workplace.
She Leads is a meticulously curated series of networking events, provide exclusive opportunities for professional women to build connections and exchange insights on issues faced in the working world.
She Leads 1 started on Feb 27, which discussed about setting goals and structure, followed by the second installment of the event with topics related to ‘Dressing Right & Feeling Good’ on May 7.
The next pocket event would take place on August 27 with the title ‘Don't Go Broke in Your Golden Years’.
Tasnim said the event would highlight its relevance not just for the elderly but also to prepare young people for their future as the aim is to equip Gen Z and millennials with essential knowledge to manage money.
