Resilience Before Results: Leading Stronger When the Economy Tests You

Last week, our Business Owners and SME leaders came together for a high-impact conversation on what truly matters when growth slows and uncertainty rises. The message was clear: this is not the season to chase speed—it’s the season to build strength.

Chaired by Kidung, the session was driven by bold, reality-based insights from Dr. Moris Tarigan, pushing leaders to challenge old growth narratives and refocus on what keeps businesses standing when conditions shift. A powerful special segment by Dona Amelia added a leadership lens on making intentional, future-ready decisions before disruption hits.

Key Takeaways:

• Growth is an outcome, not a strategy. Resilience comes first.

• Coping is necessary—but it is not success. Survival alone is not strength.

• Anticipation creates options; crisis removes them. Optionality must be built early.

• Digital investment without organisational alignment fails. Technology alone does not create resilience.

• The real strategic question for CEOs is not “How fast can we grow?”

but “How many options will we still have in the next disruption?”

Our appreciation also goes to our Managing Director, Dona Amelia, for presenting an insightful special segment, “2026 Goal Setting Masterclass.”

Key Takeaways from the Masterclass:

1. Purpose Drives Better Goals

Purpose-led goals strengthen focus and commitment.

2. Balance Matters

Effective goals span work, health, and personal growth.

3. Discipline Beats Motivation

Consistency is built through habits, not motivation.

4. Small Actions, Done Daily

Daily huddles and weekly check-ins keep goals on track.

Thank you to Kidung for strong leadership as Chair, Dr. Moris Tarigan for the sharp provocations, Dona Amelia for the energising special segment, and to all members for the candour, challenge, and engagement that made this session truly powerful.

Resilience isn’t defensive. It’s strategic.
