In Your Element – with Sarah Dwyer, Marketing Expert , New Zealand

Our latest episode features Sarah Dwyer.  Sarah held a marketing role at TetraMap International where she worked with as part of our team for four years. During that time, she made fantastic contributions to our development and community-  including our brand guidelines.     

Just before she moved on to a new opportunity we took some time to gain her insights. This was a truly beneficial working relationship and partnership, and definitely one that left both parties in a better place than when we started.

In this episode, Sarah discusses what she’s learned from integrating TetraMap into her approach to work and family life. She describes TetraMap as a way of life, a philosophy, an ecosystem and a gift that keeps on giving.

Sarah chose the powerful Lao Tzu quote to share “Without going beyond his own nature, one cannot achieve ultimate wisdom.”

A jam-packed 14 minutes!


In Your Element – with Fred Tan, Managing Director, Genium and Company, Singapore

We are delighted to chat with Fred Tan who recently founded Genium and Company along with two colleagues after a distinguished military career with Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). 
Fred shares his passion for developing leaders and provides unique insights into why Singapore Armed Forces chose to use a simple tool – TetraMap – for developing its young military leaders.

For eight years as Head of the SAF’s Centre for Leadership Development (CLD), Fred systematically implemented a top-of-class leadership development system for a pipeline of 15,000 military leaders annually, and championed the seeding of an open learning culture in the organization. Under his charge, the Centre won the HRM Asia’s “Best in Leadership Development Award” in 2016.  

The quote he chose to share is a Native American Cherokee proverb “When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die, the world cries and you
 rejoice.” 


In Your Element -our first podcast with Anne Clews. 

Anne is Head of Performance Learning at Curium Solutions UK, and her expertise is outstanding.

Anne highlights her 10+year leadership journey with TetraMap, how integrating its principles into work and life has changed her worldview. She gives tips and insights into developing great teams and how understanding the importance of being quiet can add significant value. Her quote from Susan Cain’s book Quiet -“Don’t think of introversion as something that needs to be cured” gives us all some excellent reminders.
