As a confident and successful person that Margaret was in the past, she had her share of self-doubt. She found that developing internal validation skills can be a game-changer for personal growth and well-being.
Developing internal validation is an important part of building a healthy and resilient sense of self, which can contribute to greater happiness, fulfillment, and success in life. While social media can be a great way to connect with others and share ideas, it is important to be aware of its impact on external validation and to work towards developing a strong sense of internal validation.
Internal validation allows individuals to rely on their own beliefs and values to feel good about themselves and their actions. When individuals rely too heavily on external validation, they may feel like they need constant approval and validation from others in order to feel good about themselves. This can lead to a range of negative consequences such as decreased self-esteem, anxiety, and difficulty making decisions or taking risks.
During this talk, Margaret will share insights and strategies for overcoming self-doubt and building greater self-worth. You'll learn how to identify and address the root causes of self-doubt as well as practical tools for developing a stronger sense of self-validation.

About the speaker
Margaret Ong had a very successful career in the IT industry. All these have to give way when she chose to be the primary caregiver to her husband who was diagnosed with schizophrenia 14 years ago.
She and her family, two young boys then, were very traumatized by this sudden mishap. It took them quite some time to finally come to terms with his condition and what he was experiencing.
Author of the two books, “One Husband, Two Men” and “Still My Husband”, Margaret shared her journey as a wife of a man who suffered from schizophrenia. This difficult journey did not bring her down, instead, she grew stronger and more spiritual. With a bigger heart and wanting to create awareness of mental health and caregiving, she volunteers to be a caregiver leader and a trainer with two local NGOs; Caregivers Alliance and Caring For Life. She also takes on opportunities to go on air, shows, interviews, and talks to create more awareness and to remove the stigma on mental illnesses.
