As the lockdown in Malaysia continues, it’s easy to feel isolated from friends and family – grappling with loneliness while a cloud of hopelessness descends on you.
It sounds bleak but studies have shown that lockdowns are associated with intensified anxiety symptoms, lower mental well-being and lower capabilities.
While dealing with so much uncertainty in our daily lives is hardly the best feeling in the world, Scottish whisky maker Glenfiddich believes that embracing the unknown is an opportunity to grow stronger.
There’s always hope
And so, they’re rolling out a series of activities over the next few months with the goal of inspiring people to step out of their comfort zone to create meaningful growth.
Through the Where Next? campaign, the world’s most awarded single malt whisky has partnered with TEDx-communities to present ImagineNext, a series of powerful talks by local speakers -or Mavericks – across South East Asia.
Being the World’s Most Awarded Single Malt Scotch Whisky says a lot about how much we constantly push ourselves out of our comfort zone to be better. We believe everyone possesses this Maverick spirit -one that inspires them to always look at ways to improve, aiming for the next stage in their personal and professional growth.
