Landmark Forum in Singapore

A New Life to Love

Sharon Tan

Landmark Introduction Leader Sharon Tan of Singapore.My good and long time friend who lives in New York, Hong Ling Wee, shared about the Landmark Forum and in 2002 I went to do it in Melbourne, Australia. My course was led by the Landmark Forum Leader Angelo D'Amelio and it was an outstanding course. I got to see for myself all things that my friend has told me about it, but I was pleasantly surprised about how much more I have gotten in only one weekend.

My flight back to Singapore was unforgettable, I was present to the fact that I have a new life to live. I looked out of the airplane’s window and saw how beautiful the sunrise was! It is as if I have a pair of new eyes to see from. It is quite a remarkable experience. 

I understand then why sometimes it is difficult for graduates to tell other people about the Landmark Forum. Nevertheless the result of the course is tangible and real in my life. After I did the Landmark Forum, my heart was blossoming with love for my husband, Joe Yin, the man of my life. It was quite a transformation. Only six months prior to it I was having lots of arguments with him!

When I found something great I wanted others to have it too. So I enrolled my husband to do the Landmark Forum in Sidney, Australia. I was thrilled when I heard that the Landmark Forum would come to Singapore. Han Dana, the webmaster of this website and one of our partners in the US, kept me informed about it through email and finally in May 2003 I met Ramesh Ramachandra and our then newly forming team of graduates.

At first I was not sure that I would want to take on the leadership accountabilities in our team. I have many considerations about the time I had to spend to do the tasks and I doubted whether I could meet others’ expectation of me. I wanted to spend as much time with my small children, my daughter Rachel who was 6 years old and my son Mykel, who was 2 years old. It seemed to me as if I had two conflicting options only - whether to spend time with my family against the time requested of me for the team.

Then I heard Jerome Downes, our Landmark Forum Leader, coaching the leadership team about it. I had a breakthrough! I realized then that the conflict was not real. The issue might not be about the amount of the time I spend necessarily.  More important than that is the quality of the time that I can give to the many commitments of my life. Maybe who I am being at any given time is the deciding factor whether whatever it is that I do will make a difference. I have taken on this coaching and it has worked out well for all the things that I really do care in my life.  

After I took on the accountabilities of the Finance and Registration Fulfillment Team Leader, I had another major breakthrough. I distinguished how I had settled for a life that had been quite lack-luster. It was so transparent I hardly noticed it. This opened up a remarkable future for me.

I appreciated the coaching and the support of our incredible team of graduate leaders in Singapore. Especially at those time of breakdowns when they used to find me just sobbing, tears just rushed out of me like rivers! Then the next thing they knew, I surprised them by having a delightful breakthrough! As we worked our way through the many difficulties of bringing the work of Landmark Education to Singapore, we experienced ourselves as a very special Landmark Assisting Team and we had incredible time of fun and accomplishments together.

I have discovered the enormous privilege as I led the Introduction to the Landmark Forum to our relatives, friends, colleagues and their friends in Singapore.  I continued to have many breakthroughs where I found myself profoundly at peace, serene and empowered to take on the challenges that face us as a team. I found myself being a leader who makes a difference to myself, my family and others. This is what the Landmark Assisting Program makes available to people.

In November 2003 I went with Ramesh and Poorani Thanusha for a special training program in the Landmark Tokyo Center in Japan. I was amazed to see at what a Landmark Center provided for graduates there and I really look forward to our own Landmark Center in Singapore too.

I have grown so much in so little time since I gave up my considerations and took on being a leader in our team. As we approached those dates in September 2003 when the Landmark Forum was about to happen for the first time ever in Singapore, I was often tired, but very satisfied. When I went back to teaching, there was time when I had to just sit quietly. I was exhausted! But amazingly, even then my young students noticed, they asked me why I was so happy. 

I told them I was more than just happy. I was in bliss and so acknowledged because my dream of having the Landmark Forum in Singapore was then being fulfilled! My young daughter Rachel told me that mommy is now fun to be with (she used to say that mommy was suffocating... !)  I am the possibility of being present to my own greatness - the possibility of Fearlessness, Unlimited Energy, of Trust of my own inner wisdom.

If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for a passionate sense of what might be, for the eye, which ever young and ardent sees the possible.
