*Lessons From The Facilitator’s Seat* 🌿🍚

A little kitchen tip I picked up from TikTok months ago…

Store your rice with a generous amount of dried bay leaves and cinnamon sticks.

The idea? Their strong aroma is said to help deter those pesky little rice mites, ants and other unwanted visitors.

So I tried it.

And you know what?

It seems to be working for me! 😄

I replace the bay leaves and cinnamon sticks every couple of batches of rice.

Now, I'm not about to declare this a scientific breakthrough. 😂

But it got me thinking about something I strongly believe in as a learner — and as a Facilitative Trainer.

We shouldn't be too quick to “pooh-pooh” or “bah-bah” an idea simply because it sounds old-fashioned, unconventional or different from what we already know.

Some things deserve a fair trial.

Try it.
Observe it.
Question it.
Learn from the outcome.

If it works, understand why.

If it doesn't, learn from that too.

Because learning isn't always about accepting everything we're told.

Sometimes, it is about being curious enough to say:

*“Hmm… let's see if this actually works.”*

And perhaps that's one of the things I love most about facilitative learning.

We don't just tell people what to think.

We create the space to explore, experience, question and discover.

Even if the lesson begins… with a container of rice in the kitchen. 😄🌿

*Lessons From The Facilitator’s Seat* 💚

“Wait... Guatemala has JADE?!” 😆

That was me when I bought this pendant and bracelet from Stone Bliss and discovered they’re made from Guatemalan jadeite.

Guatemala?!

So, of course, I had to find out more. 😂

Turns out, jadeite from Guatemala has a fascinating history, including its connection with the ancient Maya.

And once again, a little curiosity led me somewhere unexpected.

Which reminds me why I love being a Facilitative Trainer.

Learning isn't always about sitting in a classroom.

Sometimes, it starts with one simple question:

“Really? Tell me more…”

Stay curious. Ask questions. Explore.

You never know where the learning will take you. 💚

A pretty last minute idea that always worked out well.
A short call out in our group for anyone free for brunch.
Because someone mentioned we have not met in a long time (read: a few weeks).
So we picked a date...we agreed on a place...and the rest is history.
Food was good.
The company? The best, as always.
And after all the food was downed, someone (me) remarked: can we make a JJCM trip this year, please?
That got the ball rolling...
We shall see.
It was so good to catch up...to make fun of one another...to make silly mistakes...to laugh loudly together (we asked for their private room).
Till our next meet, will always love you gals loads...🥰🥰
And thanks to my forever driver, Suheilah Abu Bakar 😍😍

A joyous occasion of which we were a part...a white-themed solemnization on a sun-kissed Saturday.

Aman Nazmi weds Hadeeqah.

His mum is a Perlis gal like me.
His dad was colleagues with Hanafy during Affin Bank days.
And more importantly, he and Raziq are best buddies from...well, since they were babies!

Alhamdulillah, with just one utterance, Aman Nazmi became Hadeeqahs'.

A new start to a wonderful journey...and filled with much love and blessings.

Proud moment when he referred to us as his "second parents".🥰

Thank you, Zirah & Karim for including us to witness this moment.

Two public programmes.
Same topic.
Completely different outcomes.
Last week, I facilitated two Communication programmes.
Both were requested about two months earlier.
One was conducted virtually over two separate dates.
The other was a two-day face-to-face programme.
The virtual programme was confirmed five weeks before delivery.
Three weeks before the first session, I received a message from the Training Provider:
"All four sessions are sold out."
My first reaction?
😳
Seriously?
All four sessions?
The TP then asked whether I would allow additional participants before they started turning people away.
Of course, I said yes.
We eventually had 28 participants in each session.
The face-to-face programme?
It proceeded with three participants.
And honestly, that didn't bother me.
I've facilitated sessions with hundreds of participants.
I've also facilitated sessions with just a handful.
Meaningful learning can happen in both.
What got me thinking wasn't the class size.
It was what happened before the training.
Both programmes focused on Communication.
Both relied heavily on digital marketing.
Emails.
Social media.
Online promotions.
Yet the market responded very differently.
Why?
Was it the delivery mode?
The frequency of promotion?
The audience being targeted?
The way the programme was positioned?
I don't have all the answers.
But it reminded me of something important:
Training doesn't begin when participants enter the room.
It begins when they first hear about the programme.
Food for thought.

Back in April 2026, I had the privilege of facilitating 2 topics — Organizational Agility and Operational Leadership — for a cohort of young Branch Managers from across Malaysia as part of a Leadership Development Program for a local government-linked bank.

Many of them were still relatively new in their roles. Bright, driven, and navigating the realities of leading teams while balancing operational expectations, policy implementation, and people management.

And honestly, topics like “organizational agility” can feel very distant at branch level.

So facilitative trainer mode came on 😊

The conversations became less about theories and more about realities:

* managing underperformers and over-achievers,
* moving teams through change,
* leading with confidence,
* and learning how to project the best version of themselves as leaders.

And yes… I introduced them to my EMPATI framework too 😉

What made the sessions meaningful for me was this:
I had personally lived through many of the situations they shared.

So beyond frameworks, we spoke about experience.
What worked.
What failed.
What needed adjusting.
And what leadership looks like in real life — not just on slides.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr Zainol Abdul Rani for the trust and opportunity.

I advocate lifesharing—bringing real-life practices into how we teach and how we lead.

A recent training experience that truly felt like a *BreakAway* moment for me.

I had the opportunity to facilitate *The Pyramid Principle* training for Delivery Hero @ foodpanda — and honestly, I went into it feeling both excited and challenged.

The programme is based on Barbara Minto’s renowned methodology, and initially, I was informed that the participants would be line leaders: Unit Managers and Assistant Managers.

Then came a pleasant surprise.

Even before the first session started, the client confirmed a second group consisting of senior leaders.

Different groups. Different dynamics.
But both shared one thing in common — genuine curiosity and a strong desire to apply the learning back at work.

What stood out most was how engaged they were from the very beginning. The discussions were thoughtful, the questions were sharp, and the conversations felt incredibly alive.

Personally, the timing was interesting too. I had just been recovering from a bad flu and cough before the sessions began. But somehow, once I stood in front of the room, the energy shifted. Their positivity and openness made the experience genuinely enjoyable and energising.

Moments like these remind me why I enjoy facilitative training:
When people are willing to think, question, and connect ideas to real workplace situations, learning becomes meaningful.

And this experience reaffirmed something for me — I definitely want to continue growing *The Pyramid Principle* together with my EMPATI framework as part of how I help professionals communicate with greater clarity, structure, and impact.

What a meaningful 2 days this turned out to be.

I recently conducted a training on English Communication in Business & E-mail Writing for a group of security personnel from Allied Resources.

Truth be told, I was initially apprehensive because the programme had originally been designed for executives and administrative personnel.

But the participants completely changed my perspective.

The energy, participation, humour, and willingness to learn were amazing to witness. Conversations flowed naturally and the classroom quickly became a space of shared learning.

One of my favourite moments was during a presentation activity called The Pirates. A former navy personnel in the group described ships, masts, hulls, and docking terminology with such passion that all of us felt transported onto the ship itself.

It was one of those moments that reminded me:
People shine when they feel respected, included, and connected to the learning.
There was learning.
There was laughter.
And there were many memorable moments.

Thank you, Allied Resources and , for the opportunity. ✨
