Bio
Sharon Mah
Whether in design or facilitation, Jael is a joy to partner with. We've worked on a range of projects together, from Career Design Facilitation to Faith & Work Mentoring. In every instance, Jael has demonstrated a genuine interest in people and passion to empower them in their journeys of discovery. Her authentic, down-to-earth personality makes her very approachable and helps to create a safe space for communities to explore and experiment, with fun and good humour. Coupled with a keen design mind to create clear pathways, as a facilitator, Jael ensures that people keep moving towards their goals and objectives. She has a very infectious can-do spirit, which encourages others around her to be equally flexible to adapt and adjust on-the-go as changes and challenges emerge. An extremely competent practitioner I'm so proud to have created great work with!

Jael is passionate about career design and has a lot of knowledge and experience - I picked up a lot of tips that I will use for many many years to come. On top of that, she’s extremely understanding and supportive of different areas where I was interested in and constantly found different opportunities for me to improve and grow. It was a real pleasure to work alongside Jael!

Jael is a Force of Nature - her energy, inner fire to serve and contribute to others, and sheer determination is truly admirable. Not only does she regularly spark fresh and exciting ideas, she is open and receptive to everyone that she interacts with - both personally and professionally. Not just full of great ideas, Jael has the grit, and fortitude to see them implemented.

Sep 2017 - Present
What will career development look like in this topsy-turvy world today? What happens if robots take over our jobs? How might we make money and meaning? I'm working with my team to create a movement and a company. Our goal is to inspire and empower people to design and drive their own careers and lead meaningful lives, with their unique blend of purpose, passion and pragmatism. My Working Title is a • Career Design Movement that inspires people to view career design in a fun, exciting and even fashionable manner. • Career Design Start Up that empowers people to actively design their career strategy so that they are more equipped to survive and thrive. We create holding spaces for people to explore possibilities, surface taboo topics and deep motivations. We've launched in Sep 2017 in Singapore and the Career SUPERDRIVE and Team SUPERDRIVE board games that we created are played by people from 25 countries. We also consult, design and run Career-life programmes, Playshops (our version of workshops), and media for this cause . Our clients include LinkedIn, Aviva, GIC, WSG (Workforce Singapore), National Youth Council, NUS CFG (National University of Singapore, Centre for Future-Ready Graduates) and RMIT Australia. As part of this work, I've spoken to thousands of people across different nationalities and age groups on topics about societal, career and personal development. I was also conferred the award of being a Women Icon of Asia at the Women Icons Summit & Awards 2019 for my work in starting My Working Title. Our design inspirations are: #1. Your career is a permanent beta. #2. You have a choice. #3. You can design. Check us out at www.myworkingtitle.xyz #WhatisYourWorkingTitle Show less
