Building a Winning Culture Together: RGF’s FY25 Kick-off Workshop Sparks Innovation & Connection
On May 8-9th, 2025, our Singapore and Hong Kong teams joined forces for the first time at our FY25 Kick-off Workshop. Over two dynamic days, the team exchanged ideas, strengthened connections, and proved what can be achieved as one united team.
Leadership That Inspires Action
Our team leaders kicked off the workshop by sharing their vision for success at RGF: Our DNA - Driven by purpose, strengthened by Network, and Adaptable to change. These core values guided us throughout the workshop and reminded us that lasting success starts with a strong company culture.
Breaking Barriers and Building Bridges
Mary Suen, the inspiring founder of Chief Happiness Officer Association, led two immersive sessions. In "Think In & Out of the Box," each person turned the box into a tool of self-reflection and team alignment through creative drawing and writing. The session revealed how unconscious mental filters can limit perspectives and explored new ways to challenge conventional thinking.
Building on this foundation, the "Unleashing Innovation" design thinking workshop demonstrated how structured ideation processes can transform individual insights into actionable strategies and solutions that benefit the organization. Mary's infectious enthusiasm energized the room as teams collaborated, shared ideas, and explored new approaches to problem-solving.

A particularly impactful moment came at the end of the workshop, where colleagues showed their appreciation for each other by placing heart stickers on their teammates' clothes – a simple but powerful acknowledgment of each person’s contributions. This small activity captured the heart of the workshop – when teams feel appreciated, they’re more open to innovation.
The Authentic Connection
Beyond the workshops, it was the unscripted moments that brought the team closer together – shared meals, coffee breaks, and heartfelt conversations. These genuine connections reinforced that culture isn’t built in meeting rooms, but through everyday moments of interactions and trust.

Looking Ahead to FY25
FY25 isn't just another year – it's a chance to turn insights into action and co-create something extraordinary by:
- Breaking limiting beliefs and barriers
- Embracing active listening and build on each other’s ideas
- Daring to challenge conventions and think outside the box
- Celebrating louder – Recognizing every role in our success
