Professional Development Workshops

The Winning Edge: Transforming mindset into results for recruitment leaders

Join us on April 23rd in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and April 30th in Singapore

APSCo Southeast Asia is delighted to announce its first set of workshops for 2026, "The Winning Edge: Transforming Mindset into Results for Recruitment Leaders," delivered in collaboration with Arcadia Consulting.

 

Many recruitment companies are currently struggling to hit their targets, and while it may be tempting to see this just as a sales issue, the challenge is often deeper. When forecasts appear tight or uncertain, teams can feel pressured and demotivated.  In many cases, it is less about sales skills and more about motivation. This workshop will explore how the right mindset can reignite motivation and purpose within teams—because when people are motivated and focused, success follows. 

Who are the workshops for?

Recruitment leaders or managers with responsibility for their teams.

Why attend?

Unlock your drive and thrive in a shifting recruitment landscape.

 

What will the workshops cover?


Practical ways to boost intrinsic motivation:

  • Demonstrate awareness of habitual behaviours that help or hinder success
  • Recognise how to switch a negative situation to a positive light
  • Explain peak performance formula and its attributes
  • Identify helpful responses to events and setbacks, by exercising choice over motivation or beliefs
  • Identify key behaviours for consistently exhibiting peak performance
