Landmark Forum in
Singapore:
Delivering Freedom and Power to what matters for the people.
June Tangsakul
My name is June Tangsakul and I am originally from
Thailand. In 1999 I come to Singapore when I received a scholarship for
a bachelor degree course in Mechanical Engineering. I have since made
Singapore my second home.
I got introduced to the
Landmark Forum
by a colleague whom I know through a student organization back in the
university. When I attended the Introduction to the
Landmark Forum,
the Introduction Leader spoke about the distinction past, present and
future. I see what was really possible for me in that presentation. A
new possibility was born at that moment for me: to have a career that I
really wanted.
I did held back when invited to register, as I did not want to spend the
money. However, I signed up on that day thinking it would be worth
taking a chance just to explore that possibility that I just created.
Before the Landmark Forum, I worked as an engineer
with a really great company. I was excited with the challenges and
learning opportunities and I was contented with that job. However, what
I really wanted was to pursue a career in a rather new specialized area
called Human Factor Engineering. The problem was that I did not have the
qualification to enter the field. There was also a risk since I was
pretty new at the job, I did not know if the company and my boss would
approve. Then it seemed to me that there just was no way I could handle
both work and study at the same time.
When I did the
Landmark Forum,
I was astonished to learn all the things that were in the way for any
human being to move forward. All those transparent, unconscious
decisions I made and negative comments that I have lived with for so
long suddenly become clear and apparent. I got to see things that were
hidden from me. That I did not think I was good enough for anything that
I really want. That it was easy to not do anything rather than confront
and give up my fear of failure.
In the new view that was presented to me in the Landmark Forum, I had a
choice of who I can be and what to do with myself and my life. I could
just cruise through life unconsciously and explained it away as I had
done, or take it back and live a life that I love. The Landmark Forum
has given me the tool not only to invent new possibility, but also the
tools to make it real.
Three months after the Landmark Forum I put myself into the masters
program. I shared openly about my career plan and won the full support
from my boss. Using distinction integrity, I was fully engaged in work
and study and still have time for family and personal activities like
exercise and socializing with friends. The results came as great
surprises. I got straight A’s for all my courses on top of taking on
bigger portfolio at work. As was promised, the result of the Landmark
Forum was immediate and relevant to what I want for myself.
Half way into the masters program, 1.5 years after the Landmark Forum, I
was offered a job as Human Factor Specialist in the same company. In
making this possibility into reality, I have to mention the Landmark
Introduction Leaders’ Program. This most valuable 6-month program
provided a structure for me to continue to bring what I got from this
education to different areas of my life, as well as making sure that I
did get the career that I want.
Landmark Forum gives me access to achieving what I never thought was
possible before - having work-life balance and pursuing my interest. In
the same way, human beings can experience and then realize their
limitless potentials. This is what inspires me the most about this
education.
I enjoy participating in Landmark Education
Assisting Program as it gives me the opportunity to make a
difference to people by sharing what I got from this education. Through
the Assisting Program I also get the privilege to interact with other
graduates and staff of the
Landmark Education.
It is a very special community of people where each and everyone is
appreciated and known as the contributions we are to fulfilling our
common and personal concerns and for full self expression
I’m truly moved by the commitment that the staff and fellow graduates
have for participants- their friends and relatives, to get the benefits
from this education and to be nothing but great.
