WELL WITHIN GOOD

We're Well Within Good. A peer-driven collective designed to co-create community care with people* like you who are up to meaningful things in the world. It's an invitation for you to spend time to support who you are (on the inside!) so that you can transform the outer world.

*Change-makers, community leaders, social entrepreneurs, visionaries, creatives, servant leaders, people with tender hearts, multi-hyphenates and multi-passionates, the misfits and makers on a mission.

Something tells me you're involved in meaningful things in the world. And deep down you know that burnout is not an option when you’re in service to others and creating change in the world. Neither is sacrificing who you are and what makes you feel most alive.

You founded your company or you joined your current workplace because you have a big vision and want to work on things that impact others - and that matter to you.

And yet, something also tells me you feel you have way too much on your plate, trying to keep up with #allthethings and your calendar just doesn’t seem to have space for you to rest, reflect, re-imagine or re-align.  You’re starting to feel overwhelmed, burnt out and like you are on your own.

We often hear of the term self-care, but for the people who are committed to bringing about change in our world (that's you!), you need more than just support from yourself alone. Plus, you've been flying solo for a little while and you've thought to yourself, there's got to be a better, easeful - even fun - way of doing work that matters in the world...right?

You may have heard this often enough - you cannot pour from an empty cup. You have an inner-knowing that you can’t do it alone and that it also means asking for support!

We know, it’s hard to carve our time for yourself because it never really feels like the ‘right time’ to slow down. You might feel exhausted (possibly from over-giving, over-serving or compassion fatigue), you may feel uninspired by the work you normally love. Maybe you feel like you can’t fully who up as your authentic self in this world of curated online feeds and credentials…. or perhaps you feel busy doing busy work (work that drains your time but doesn’t really matter).

You may be asking yourself…

  • How can I find time to care for myself when I’m supporting others or constantly meeting needs of people I serve all the time?

  • I’m tired of being tired. But it’s been this way for so long, are there possibilities to live life of meaning and purpose without compromising my wellbeing?

  • I’m constantly making decisions, who can I soundboard ideas with in a safe and trusted space and get access to resources and tools to learn to do what I do better?

  • I’ve had enough of small talk and elevator pitches, will I ever get to meet with others who are open to engage in deep and meaningful conversations and who get to know me for me?

  • Somebody always needs something from me. How can I continue to work on what matters to me without sacrificing what brings me joy, who I am and my loved ones?

 

That's why we've set out to create a (virtual) soft place to land where you can find rest, nourishment, tools and resources - and meaningfully connect with others who are on a similar path.

This 12-week cosy group experience* is facilitated specifically for community leaders, change-makers and visionaries in the social impact space who are looking to support their own well-being, personal growth and transformation so that you can flourish even amidst challenging work.

This is a precious time to take a deep breath and tend to parts of yourself that are burning out or in need of intentional, loving care - in community.

You will have the opportunity to explore and support your inner well-being, paired together with inspired action steps and a small group cheering you on. Plus, we’ll invite guest guides, storytellers and visionaries to share resources and tools to support you in the work you do - whether it’s fundraising, branding, leadership, mindset/productivity, business growth, marketing, etc!

*This is our founding circle and as such, we're only opening up a few spots and offering it at a discounted rate.

 

“When we walk together with three people, one of them will have something to teach us.”

- Confucius

  • Rest

  • Sparks of inspiration and a-ha moments

The Well Within Community Experience

The Well Within Good community is your personal and confidential think-tank. It’s a place where you can focus on what matters most: you. During our time together, you’ll feel less overwhelmed and stop sacrificing your well-being, so that you can feel grounded, supported and energised for the work you feel called to do.

This is a peer-driven and collaborative community experience which means that in our time together, there will be times that you ask for support and other times that you can provide it. We believe that everyone brings with them gifts and ‘medicine’ that can support another. You’ll feel encouraged, inspired and nourished.

*Will be in image / icon format with brief paragraph under each of the following:

(6) Guest Guide Workshops:

(4) Community Potluck: Sacred times to share whats on our plate (the celebrations, struggles, the good and the bad). Come as you are to connect with each other and much like a pot-luck, we each bring something to the table to share.

(6) Bravery Group Calls: Intentional connections (we’ll matchmake you!) with a small group who will journey alongside you for hive-minding ideas, deeper conversations and loving accountability.

(3) Personal Retreat Days:

(3) Group Coaching: Reflecting on a specific prompt or theme for the month, we’ll spend time sharing what’s coming up for us,

(1) One-on-one coaching session with Emily Teng: for clarity, confidence and next-best-steps, you’ll have time with Emily to dive deep in an area you’d like to explore further and get support with.

Plus:

Resources: Along the way there will be opportunities to ask and share resources so that no matter when you might have questions or where you are needing support, you can look to the collective wisdom of our community.

Private Community Space: To chat, connect, ask questions, ask/give support and more!

 

“ Burnout is not an option when you’re in service to others and creating change in the world”

 

You should join us if you believe…

  • Your work truly matters and makes a difference in your community and in the world

  • Personal growth and Professional development sound amazing but you just haven’t felt like you could come up and catch your breath for a second. And not just that, some of these programs are just so technical sounding - what you need is a soft place to land, people who just ‘get it’ and the ability to have privacy in asking for the help you really need

  • You are exhausted. And trying to catch-up on sleep or binge-watching Netflix isn’t really cutting it. Your heart, mind and body are overworked, overwhelmed and frustrated that there seems to be no end to the drain. The work you do is incredibly life-giving to others but, ironically, at the end of each day you are depleted.

  • You are involved in ‘caregiving’ on a daily basis. What this means is you are holding space, collaborating, brainstorming, empathising, fundraising, advocating, communicating, sustaining, organising - and more. It’s a lot!

  • You know it’s important to ground yourself and re-connect with your inner ‘why’, your reason for being. You spend so much time working in your organisation/business/initiative but don’t seem to find the time to work ON it, giving you space to dream, re-imagine and realign with what matters - all while receiving support, coaching, fellowship and radical self (and community) care.

  • You’ve burnt out before, you’re burning out again or you just want to stop feeling like you’ve set yourself on fire and get into fire prevention mode.

 

Meet Emily

I intentionally support community leaders and change-makers to rest, reflect, re-imagine and realign their work with what truly matters - all without burnout, overwhelm and isolation.

Previously, I spent 8 years in the media world where I had my own radio show where storytelling, multi-tasking and connecting with others was key. While working in radio and in my 20s, I founded a non-profit organisation which is now award-winning and globally recognised and regularly serves children and young people from vulnerable neighbourhoods to lead fulfilled lives through a safe and trusted community space, meaningful mentorship and experiences. For over a decade that I’ve been in the social impact and community building space, I’ve worked with partners such as Ben & Jerry’s, Singapore Airlines, Twitter, Facebook, Salesforce and more. My story has appeared in the news and my life’s service has been honoured by Singapore’s President, recognised by Tatler’s Generation T list, selected by Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and named one of the most inspiring leaders in the world by Facebook.

In other words? I’ve been where you are (both the good and the not-so-great parts of it)!

My zone of genius is in creating brave spaces and belonging, making people feel seen, valued and heard and coaching people to live their dreams instead of chasing them on a hamster wheel of endless productivity and hustle. I continue to remote-lead my non-profit working from home after years of experiencing my own trials, frustrations and…burnout. A burnout so bad that I collapsed in a public place and was sent to hospital where doctors with furrowed brows told me I was too stressed and overworking myself.

That’s how my journey of unlearning, relearning and learning new ways of living, leading and being started to unfold and continues to this day.
