NBS Alumni Leaders Dialogue: Embrace the Uncomfortable: A Conversation on Growth and Leadership

29 Aug 2025 07.00 PM - 09.00 PM Alumni
Organised by:
NBS Alumni Relations

True growth begins outside your comfort zone. In a world marked by constant change and complexity, the ability to embrace discomfort can set great leaders apart. This NBS Alumni Leaders Dialogue brings together two distinguished Nanyang EMBA alumni — Dr Koh Hau Tek and Yi Ning Tay — for a candid fireside chat exploring how stepping beyond comfort zones can lead to deeper personal and professional transformation.


Dr Koh will share how he navigated pivotal moments in his leadership journey, taking bold steps beyond the familiar to drive growth and impact. Yi Ning, drawing from her experience leading innovation across Asia-Pacific at DHL, will engage him in conversation and reflect on her own perspectives around risk-taking, resilience, and reinvention in leadership.

Join us for an inspiring dialogue on how discomfort can be a catalyst for growth — and how NBS alumni are shaping the future by embracing it.
