Village Hotel Katong
Course Introduction and Outline
These are dark days. An end to predictability of food and supply chains and events we take as normal - is this the demise of our Singaporean way of life? These are precursors to a “new normal” including new economic realities and social norms. But what about me? The single? The career person? The newly married? What about my job? Who’s paying the mortgage? These are multiple everyday leaks. Panic, worry, and feeling isolated are natural. How do I deal with it? Join SEL as Ian, Charlie, and Andrew explore:
