Professional and Academic Fellows inspire audience at Honours Academy public lectures
In the summer of 2023, the Honours Academy (the HA) hosted the HA Public Lecture series with two sharing sessions, one featuring Ms Antonia Yeung, Associate Vice-President (Development and Campus Services), the HA’s Academic Fellow, and the other session extended an invitation to Ms Quince Chong, Chief Corporate Development Officer of CLP Power, the HA’s Professional Fellow.
Weaving in candid life lessons, Ms. Yeung encouraged our students and staff to pursue life purposes by ideally striking a healthy balance among passion, mission, profession and vocation, in the first public lecture on the theme of “Learn – Think – Laugh: Finding Purpose and Joy Wherever Life Takes You” held on 8 August. She inspired our students in the audience to navigate obstacles through resilience, perspective and optimism. Along with her inspirational words and smiles, Ms. Yeung also recommended continuous self-development by exploring interests and natural talents.
Then on 28 August, Ms Chong, in her capacity as the Chief Corporate Development Officer of CLP Power, the major power company in Hong Kong, enlightened another audience with her sharing on “Reputation Management in a Fast-Changing World”. With over three decades of experience, Ms Chong illustrated how transparent, dialogic communications have become increasingly vital in maintaining trust in corporate communications, especially in the era of rapid online information flow. At CLP, stakeholder engagement encompasses customers, investors, employees and the public through customised communications strategies. Ms Chong also highlighted the impactful role of storytelling in reputation management, like how strategically framing initiatives with a human-centered narrative fosters identification and support. She showcased CLP campaigns that effectively convey the company’s vision and community impact.
The HA Public Lecture series, overall, aligned with the Honours Academy’s vision of nurturing future leaders equipped for success in today’s volatile world. By fostering inspirational role models and innovative pedagogies, this public lecture series fulfilled its mandate of providing transformative leadership experiences beyond conventional boundaries.
榮譽學院專業及學術院使主持公開講座
在2023年的暑假，榮譽學院舉辦了兩場公開講座，邀請了學院的學術院使和專業院使主講，分別為協理副校長(校園發展服務) 楊如虹女士，以及中華電力企業發展總裁莊偉茵女士。
楊女士在八月八日的首場公開講座上，以《學習樂活》為題，通過自身閱歷，鼓勵同學們在個人熱忱、使命、專業和職場志向之間取得平衡，追求人生目標。楊女士以不同的鼓勵言辭，激勵觀眾以堅韌抵抗力、不同觀點和樂觀態度以克服困難，亦鼓勵通過探索興趣和天賦來持續自我發展。
在同月二十八日迎來第二場公開講座，作為中華電力企業發展總裁，莊偉茵女士以《如何在瞬息萬變的時代中管理品牌信譽》為題，與另一班師生分享了她的見解。
憑藉超過三十年的企業傳訊經驗，莊女士指出，由於現今資訊可以在網上急速傳播，具透明度和雙向的溝通方式，對維持品牌信譽顯得更為重要。此外，中電會因應不同類別的持份者，如客戶、投資者、員工和公眾等，制定合適的溝通策略。莊女士亦談及，若能善用以人為本的「品牌故事」，有助企業取得社會大眾的認同和支持。莊女士更以一系列的中電項目為例，介紹中電如何向公眾傳達公司的理念，以及支援社區。
兩場公開講座的圓滿結束，亦體現了榮譽學院培養未來領袖的願景，為一眾年輕人在瞬息萬變的世界中作好準備。這公開演講系列以創新的教學方法，讓觀眾與具影響力的領袖交流，以創新形式體驗領袖學習。
