“I practise self-care. For example, if I’m tired I nap or take a break. When I feel overwhelmed, I broaden my perspective and count my blessings. This helps restore balance.”

– Adelyn Poh, Co-founder CARE Singapore, Great Women Of Our Time 2006 Health, Sports & Wellness winner

“Having so many roles and responsibilities has made me channel all this energy into activities I enjoy most, which includes exploring new business opportunities. So if you ask me about me dream, I would say it is to sustain a healthy balance between career and family.”

– Elaine Teh, Executive Director, Octopus Holdings Pte Ltd, Great Women Of Our Time 2008  Design & Style nominee

“A great woman knows herself. She sets personal and career goals, to instil focus, and build resilience. More importantly, a great woman can accept the outcome of her goals, even when things don’t go according to plan. Because that’s life – and she is a happier woman because of this.”

– Goh Li May, Technology Team Leader, General Electric Singapore’s Water Technology Centre, Great Women Of Our Time 2015 Science & Technology nominee

(On finding personal balance) “Everything in life carries an opportunity cost, so that means consciously deciding how to prioritise your time. For me, ‘having it all’ means finding a balance between spending time with my family and friends, enjoying my work so I am passionate and challenged. Plus I need to make time to do things I love, like travelling, sports and hobbies and I have to take care of my health, body and mind.”
