The Doing Well Centre

This afternoon in a Grab, something felt a little off. The driver was staring — not rudely, just with an intense, focused gaze. I didn’t think much of it. I’ve always had time for quirky.

A few minutes in, I told her I’d be taking a call — and apologized for the noise, especially since I’d opted for a Quiet Ride.

She thanked me — then pointed to her headset and said, “It's alright. I have my noise guard on.”

That’s when I noticed the badge on the seat in front of me:
“I'm autistic. Please be patient.”

In that moment, I felt relieved -- because I’d taken a second to be considerate. That small pause meant everything.

It was a small but powerful reminder: When we’re rushing to tick off the next thing, we miss what’s right in front of us — the signs, the signals, the people.

But when we slow down, we notice. And noticing makes all the difference - may be not to ourselves, but to someone else.

Thank you, Zat Astha and The Peak Singapore, for featuring our founder and CEO Jason Leow. Slowing down, pivoting and purpose are allergic terms to achievement-oriented Singaporeans, we have been told. This work won't make money, we have heard.

We disagree. We know we are doing important work, and tapping into a global shift in how people see work and advancement - even in Singapore! We are Singapore-based, globally available, and building communities of purpose-seekers in every corner.

Zat is helping our kind of work gain traction, and we're grateful.

Today, the vice chair at Edelman Smithfield and CEO founder of The Doing Well Centre is helping leaders trade burnout for clarity and redefining what success feels like.

This is my go-to "uniform" every day - at work, when I see senior clients, when I attend socials, and when I see my mom on weekends. My batik shirts - collarless, short-sleeved, with designs courtesy of .indah - have kept me cool and hopefully dignified for the past two years. Who can say a batik shirt is too casual: it is Southeast Asia's national costume.

Kreasi Indah used to be run by Normah and her husband, now retired. The boutique has been sold to a few young men whose names I have forgotten but hope to recall (so please leave your messages 👇).

Is it not true this is my go-to uniform?

Friday Special. Who says wellbeing can only be confined to doing inner work?

Outer work on a cone is sometimes good too!

Nature bathing to clear mental gunk ...

Planning begins with mental cleansing, perhaps

Two things hold true in our practice: experience and experience.
We’ve led, built, rebuilt, and sometimes burned out. That’s why we don’t coach from theory—we coach from the trenches.

Yes, we learn from the best in academia. But we refine our approach from the roles we’ve actually held.

Not just titles. Real pressure. Real teams. Real change.

So much of leadership is for show these days. Leaders are simply responding to the need for optics, for showing up the right way, to survive by managing up all the time. They aren't to blame. But the system needs tuning, maybe even overhauling.

The Quiet Counsel, a key practice of The Doing Well Centre, wants to work with visionary organizations that believe in the same need for leadership and senior management transformation. We work by coaching individual leaders, using our bespoke Regenerative Leadership Index (RLI360), and through personality, values and system alignment - everything we publicly talk about. No BS.

We worry that as economic conditions worsen, organizations will cut down on leadership development spending and maintain budgets for profile building and spinning, with no real follow through in values and culture-building.

We all know the trend is already happening - we feel it as employees. As coaches and consultants, The Doing Well Centre is calling it out and reminding organizations to prioritize leadership development. This is more crucial than ever, especially in a time of poor global leadership when gold standards can be dismantled overnight and cynical disruptors will challenge what's good and sound, for what's chaotic and opportunistic. Expect work environments to become more toxic if we don't hold firm to values-driven leadership that's also grounded in practice.

My leaders are definitely looking out for themselves!

We finally got onto Yakushima Island where centuries-old forests reside. These are the forests that Princess Mononoko is based on. The kodamas, or tree spirits, reportedly exist if we are lucky to see them. We will start our trek tomorrow morning, and stop to say hello to old trees. I'm hoping all my mental gunk comes off after this week.
