04: CLOSER x Joyce Chen: Are You Brilliant at the Wrong Thing?

SINGAPORE

10th April, Friday

6pm to 9.30pm

How the most successful leaders end up trapped in work that isn't fulfilling — and what to do about it

You're good at your job. Really good.
You're recognised for it, rewarded for it, and quietly unfulfilled by it.
Nobody told you to stop. That's the trap. Because you were so good at it — so recognised for it, so rewarded for it — that it never occurred to anyone, including you, to question whether it was actually the right thing to be doing.
So you kept going. You got better. You got promoted. You built a team around it. Maybe you built an entire company around it.
And somewhere along the way the work stopped feeling like yours.
What you're experiencing has a name. It's called the Zone of Excellence trap — and it catches the most capable people hardest. Because the very thing that made you successful is the thing keeping you from what you're actually here to do.
At the Conscious Leadership Group, Zone of Genius is defined as a flow state. Not just what you learned to be good at — but the natural gifts you were born with, that you love to use, that feel almost like play. Most high-achievers have glimpsed it. Very few have given themselves permission to live and work there. Because the Zone of Excellence pays well.
It's safe. It's known.
But it costs you something that doesn't show up on any spreadsheet — your aliveness. Your creativity. The specific, irreplaceable contribution that only you can make.
For: Founders, executives, and senior leaders who are done being excellent at the wrong thing.

✅ A personal map of your four zones — Genius, Excellence, Competence, Incompetence

✅ An honest read of where you're actually spending your time and energy

✅ An understanding of the upper limiting beliefs that keep high-performers stuck in Excellence instead of Genius — named, examined, and challenged

✅ A first draft of your purpose statement

✅ One concrete next move that is specific, chosen, and entirely yours

✅ An honest Q&A with Joyce and Rachel on what it actually took to stop doing the work they were good at — and commit to the work they were made for

✨ Joyce Chen is flying in from the U.S. exclusively for this workshop
✨ She coaches some of the most influential business leaders and founders in the U.S. and globally.
✨ Her clients range from high-growth startup founders to Fortune 500 executives —leaders who are shaping industries and cultures.

This is a one-time opportunity to learn directly from one of the world’s top Conscious Leadership coaches.

Joyce Chen is a force of transformation—equal parts strategist, storyteller, and truth-teller. She works with high-impact executives, creative visionaries, and industry disruptors who aren’t here to play by the old rules. She partners with leaders who see what’s possible but need a powerful catalyst to bring it to life.

A former tech executive, Joyce spent decades leading in fast-paced, high-stakes environments—including as Global Head of Production at Meta. She’s worked with leaders at companies like Adobe, Apple, Airbnb, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Sony, giving her a deep understanding of the challenges at the top. But she’s not just about strategy—she helps leaders rewire how they think, make decisions, and lead with radical clarity and presence.

Joyce’s coaching is a masterful mix of deep empathy and incisive challenge. She doesn’t just shift perspectives—she dismantles outdated patterns, revealing the unconscious stories that hold leaders back. Her work is about more than leadership; it’s about self-liberation. She helps clients navigate uncertainty, step into their full power, and take radical responsibility for their impact.
