Sehari Ikut Misi Tanoto Foundation untuk COVID-19, Seumur Hidup Belajar tentang Kemanusiaan
Sudah beberapa bulan pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia berjalan, saya selalu berpikir kira-kira apa yang bisa saya lakukan untuk membantu. Memang saya ikut mematuhi himbauan #dirumahaja sesuai arahan pemerintah dan perusahaan tempat saya bekerja. Namun, saya merasa mungkin ada hal lain yang juga bisa saya kerjakan.

Kadang Bukan Soal Cepat-Lambat, Waktu Kadang Memang Belum Tepat
“A bit late for you to start this” - “Kamu agak terlambat, tapi ga apa-apa” adalah 2 kalimat yang saya terima dari 2 orang yang cukup saya hormati. Sempat saya pikirkan kalimat ini beberapa waktu, yang kadang justru bikin saya gelisah dan berpikir untuk ‘harus ngapain lagi’ supaya mempercepat yang menurut mereka saya terlambat. Mungkin …

Overcoming Mental Health Problem: It’s Okay to Ask for Help – but How?
Last Sunday reconnected with a friend. Over a bowl of salad in a cafe, she started to share her experiences in overcoming a mental health problem past few weeks.

Be Mindful: An Over-Promise Workplace
