Notably, I am passionate about supporting young people to: (i) lead problem-solving activities within their local context; (ii) be a difference maker; and (iii) take calculated risks toward achieving their career goals. I am excited to be your DT coach over the next 6 weeks where you will be exposed to the six stages of design thinking and how it can be applied to solving problems afflicting elderly people in our communities. I look forward to supporting you and also learning from you. Together, we are going to achieve more.
