From Stage Fright to Spotlight

What if leadership training didn’t look like another workshop or classroom but more like stepping on stage, facing your fears, and performing with a live band?

That’s exactly what Gig For Good sets out to do — using music and performance not just to entertain, but to transform. It’s a bold, human-centred approach to leadership, teamwork, and personal growth, built on courage, creativity, and connection.

We speak to the Founder and Programme Director of Gig For Good, Tan Hui Choon, and Co-Producer and Co-Lead Trainer, Alesia Dhana, about why stepping out of your comfort zone (and into the spotlight) might just be the ultimate lesson in leadership, and how businesses today need to rethink the way we build brave teams and future-ready leaders.
