Right Impact

They saved the 2.4km run for last, which is a particular kind of cruelty when your legs have already been emptied out by 3 low walls, 50 box jumps and a rowing machine that has no interest in your feelings.

That was 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 of the SAFRA FitX Challenge last weekend.

A mini-Hyrox that the Right Impact boys (Sorry... we meant men. Ahem) signed up for, possibly overestimating how much fitness they had left after a season of workshops and not enough gym.

They won't pretend ther were chasing a podium.

They were chasing the finish line and the water point behind it.

But somewhere between the box jumps and dragging each other through that final run, it turned into one of the better team sessions they've had all year.

You learn a fair bit about people when everyone is out of breath 😅

Credit where it is due, thanks SAFRA, for the first class organisation.

Stations flowed, timings held, the whole event felt properly thought through from start to finish. That is harder to pull off than it looks, and it made the day.

They reminded us of something that is easy to forget when work eats every hour.

You keep telling yourself you'll get back in shape once things settle down.

They never settle down.

Keeping your body moving is what lets you keep showing up for everything else. It isn't the reward you earn after the busy season ends.

We spend our working lives helping teams perform, and it was a good nudge that the same rule applies to the people doing the helping.

Their legs are still recovering. Worth it. 🙏

Everyone who shares this chart points at the same dot.

AI and big data, sitting proudly at the very top. Learn AI or get left behind, goes the caption.

Look again at what surrounds it.

The whole winning quadrant, the skills employers call core now and expect to matter even more by 2030, is crowded with things no bootcamp can sell you: resilience, curiosity, empathy, self-awareness, and the ability to lead people and think creatively. AI literacy is a single dot in a neighbourhood full of deeply human capabilities.

What nobody wants to admit is that these are exactly the skills our systems are worst at building. You can certify someone in Python by Friday. There is no good way to measure whether a manager has grown more empathetic, or whether a fresh graduate has become genuinely curious instead of merely compliant. So we keep teaching and testing what is convenient, then wonder why the durable skills stay so rare.

Now glance at the bottom left. Programming. The one thing a decade of career advice pushed everyone to chase has drifted into the out-of-focus corner.

We told a generation to learn to code. The same institutions now have to teach curiosity, and most of them have no clue where to begin.

Are we right? Thoughts?

The month of August flew past so fast and we're still catching our breaths after about a week into September.

Phewwww....

Nonetheless, we are so so thankful of the trust placed by our clients whose learning programmes were delivered to positive feedback.

Well... that's our forte! 😎

Thank you to the likes of Tourism Board, Home Team Academy, Mirxes, Singapore Land Group Limited, Singapore Land Authority (SLA), Singapore Management University, SPH Media, National Council of Social Service (NCSS), Exyte, NCS Group 🙏

And watched them LOSE THEIR MINDS trying to turn those beans into gold 😆

That's exactly what happened at the Singapore Press Holdings' Leaders' Retreat where two electrifying sessions of about 130 powerhouse leaders each, where one absolutely chaotic (in the best way possible) trading activity had everyone negotiating, strategising, and plotting like their careers depended on it.

Because in a way... it did!

The room was ALIVE!

This was the gamification of learning brought to life!

You could feel the competitive energy vibrating off the walls.

Bonds forged. Strategies tested. Egos gently humbled. 😄

And in the middle of all that beautiful chaos, we got to meet some of Singapore's most iconic journalism legends. Pinch-us moment, honestly.

To the awesome comms team at SPH who had helped to organise this, THANK YOU.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, for trusting us with your incredible people, and for reminding us why we do what we do.🔥

We recently had the absolute privilege of designing and running a Learning Festival for Singapore Land Group Limited, and wow, what an experience it was!

Picture this: ~150 participants, a full day of energy, and teams rolling up their sleeves for our flagship activity, building an AI-generated video with a sustainability theme completely from scratch!

Here's what makes this so exciting.

Most participants started the day with only a rudimentary grasp of GenAI.

By the end?

They were storyboarding, prompting, refining, and producing creative videos as teams.

We watched hesitation turn into confidence in real time.

People who weren't sure what a "prompt" was in the early afternoon were directing full scenes by the late afternoon.

The winning entry (see below) is proof of just how far learners can leap in a single day when given the right guidance and a little courage to experiment.

The best part?

It doubled as a brilliant team-building exercise, full of laughter, friendly rivalry, creative problem-solving, and genuine "aha!" moments.

Nothing bonds a team quite like figuring out new technology together and cheering each other on at the finish line.

Days like this remind us exactly why we love what we do! 🙌

Her concern here is legitimate.

The World Economic Forum's 2025 Future of Jobs Report projects that 92 million roles will be displaced by AI by 2030.

The IMF found that 40% of jobs globally already face meaningful AI exposure, rising to 60% in advanced economies.

Anthropic's own CEO has predicted AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years.

If mass displacement destroys purchasing power at that scale, consumer markets collapse with it.

You genuinely cannot run a profitable business in an economy you helped destroy.

BUT the data also tells a strikingly different story.

In 2024, AI created approximately 119,900 direct jobs in the US alone, while confirmed AI-driven job losses totalled just 12,700, representing only 0.1% of all layoffs that year.

PwC's 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer found that workers with AI skills command a 56% wage premium, productivity growth nearly quadrupled in AI-exposed industries since 2022, and job availability actually grew 38% even in the roles considered most automatable.

The WEF projects that while 92 million roles disappear, 170 million new ones emerge, a net gain of 78 million jobs globally.

Penn Wharton's Budget Model estimates AI will boost GDP by 1.5% by 2035 and nearly 3% by 2055.

So maybe AI-first CEOs are accelerating us toward unprecedented productivity and prosperity.

Or maybe the speed of this disruption will outpace humanity's ability to adapt and retrain, and the short-term damage will be catastrophic and irreversible for millions of workers.

Both arguments have serious economists, business leaders and historians standing firmly behind them.

This is one of the most consequential debates of our generation and the data alone will not settle it.

Perhaps what matters equally is policy, leadership and the choices businesses make right now.

But what do you think?

Are AI-first CEOs visionaries building the future, or are they sawing off the branch they are sitting on?

We all remember the sheer, breathless adaptability of the early COVID era, captured perfectly by this viral email exchange.

Now, substitute "coronavirus" for "automation fear" and "WFH pivot" for "AI implementation."

We are witnessing a remarkably similar frantic scramble today.

The current AI proliferation operates far from a smooth transition and more like that chaotic 2020 rush to get everyone on Zoom in under 72 hours.

Just as HR used a logistical loophole to keep the wheels turning here, companies are using AI logic to restructure roles and reset productivity benchmarks at light speed.

It’s funny until you realise the speed of adjustment hasn’t changed.

Are we adapting effectively, or are we just emptying the floor of humans to keep the automated systems working?

If a business can replicate your voice, workflow, judgment and digital identity after you leave, then employment is no longer ending. It is being extended by code.

That should concern every leader.

The article below is worth reading because it signals where this debate is heading.

Our prediction: over the next 24 months, digital employee rights will become a boardroom issue.

Companies will need explicit AI likeness clauses, post-employment usage limits, audit trails, compensation models and reputational safeguards.

The firms that move first will build trust. The rest will invite lawsuits, backlash and talent flight.

Our suggestion is simple: treat employee data like licensed intellectual property, not raw material.

Just because AI can preserve output does not mean it should preserve personhood.

The future of work is not human vs AI. It is human dignity with AI.

Three rules should be non-negotiable: informed consent, revocable rights and clear revenue-sharing when a company profits from a person’s digital double.

Leaders who fail to draw that line now will spend years repairing the brand damage later.

Avatar replacement worker on trial with consent of person it replaces; critics of firm say move is a ‘step towards the destruction of humanity’.

At Right Impact, we don't do "motivational speaking".

We do energy.

We do chaos turned into message clarity.

We recently had the incredible honour of partnering with NTUC First Campus (NFC) for a massive teambuilding session that redefined "scale."

Through a high-octane, team-based experiential learning activity, these educators and professionals didn't just hear about their theme, "Rooted In Purpose".

They lived it.

At least for those couple of hours, as they immersed themselves in an intense activity that revolved around big group collaboration, workflow optimisation and organised communication.

These impressive participants solved, synergised, and synchronised to internalise what it truly means to be anchored in a common mission.

A massive thank you to NFC for trusting us with your most valuable asset: your people, yet again.

Seeing 700 hearts beating to the same rhythm of purpose is exactly why we do what we do.

When a team is truly rooted, they don't just grow but thrive.

So what does being "Rooted In Purpose" look like for your team today?
