Merry Christmas and Warmest Wishes!

As the festive season is here, I want to take a moment to share my heartfelt gratitude for all the connections and moments that have brightened this year. To everyone who’s made a difference in my journey—thank you.

My 7-year-old and I are sharing a little family photo to spread some Christmas cheer. Our beloved Samba the teddy stepped in for my camera-shy spouse, adding a touch of playful charm!

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and peaceful Christmas filled with love and warmth.

Live with purpose and passion.

Warmly,
Sok-Ho

Congratulations to IE Business School for consistently achieving top rankings in the business school arena, including securing the prestigious #1 spot globally for online MBA by Financial Times
Such a testament of the continued hard work from an entire team including the president, provost, deans, academics and the continued support from alumni and students around the world. As a leadership and psychology educator and researcher, I'm deeply grateful for the invaluable learning experiences from my time doing the MBA there nearly 15 years ago. It's crucial for business schools, particularly during this era of uncertainty, to deliver the right education to the next generation of leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs, instilling values and the ethos of positive leadership, supported by the latest academic findings, to address global human emergencies. Once a part of the IE tribe, you proudly remain part of the pride.

As I am sitting in this cafe…reflecting on the profound truth in this quote: 'The best things in life are the people we love, the places we've been, and the memories we've made along the way.'

I feel grateful for the journey and the meaningful connections.

What does this quote tell you? Post your thoughts.

🌿 Exploring the wonders of Montenegro with my daughter is a journey of discovery and love for nature. 🌍 Teaching children to cherish and respect the natural world isn't just about enjoying its beauty; it's an investment in their future and the planet's well-being.

🌱 By fostering a deep connection with nature, we're instilling values of stewardship, mindfulness, and gratitude. Through hikes like this, Lea learns that every tree, every river, every creature plays a vital role in the delicate balance of our ecosystems.

🌍 Encouraging a love for nature equips kids with a lifelong passion for environmental conservation. They become ambassadors for a healthier, greener world, advocating for the preservation of our precious Earth.

🌈 In moments like these, surrounded by the awe-inspiring landscapes of Montenegro, I'm reminded that teaching our children to love nature is gifting them with the tools to become responsible global citizens who safeguard the beauty and diversity of our planet.

Did you know that “positive feedback” can be more effective than “constructive criticism” when it comes to motivating employees? While feedback is essential for growth, studies show that positive reinforcement can lead to increased engagement, better performance, and higher morale. Celebrating achievements and highlighting strengths can foster a sense of accomplishment and boost an employee’s self-esteem. This approach can create a more supportive and encouraging work environment, leading to a happier and more productive team. So, don’t underestimate the power of positive feedback in driving motivation and success in the workplace! 🌟👥💪

🎓 A heartfelt congratulations to the outstanding students of the University of Roehampton! This week I had the honour to witness my students graduate at the Royal Festival Hall (here with my Dr gown for the event as per tradition). 🌟 As we celebrate their remarkable achievements, it’s clear that they are the leaders of today and the architects of a brighter tomorrow. Their dedication and hard work have earned them well-deserved master’s degrees, opening doors to boundless opportunities for positive leadership and change. 📚🌍

We’d like to extend our deep appreciation to Vice Chancellor Jean Noel and Prof. Narendran, the Executive Dean of the School of Business. Their extraordinary gesture of personally welcoming each and every one of our graduates, numbering in the hundreds, is a testament to the unwavering support and commitment that makes Roehampton exceptional. 🎩👏 Your guidance and encouragement have been instrumental in shaping these future leaders.
