The Importance of Being Seen

In today’s digital-first world, personal branding is essential. How you are seen, heard, and valued shapes your professional trajectory and the connections you build. On 4th September 2025, Arcc Spaces hosted Being Human: Visibility, Voice & Value, a fireside chat bringing together executives, founders, and aspiring professionals eager to explore authenticity, storytelling, and strategic visibility in their careers.

| “Your story matters. Sharing it thoughtfully can open doors you didn’t even know existed.”

Meet the Speakers

Three accomplished professionals shared their insights during the event:

• Crystal Lim – Corporate Storyteller & B2B Influencer
  Crystal emphasized supporting others as a way to amplify your own voice. She showed how giving visibility to peers and colleagues can simultaneously strengthen your personal brand.
• Gary Lim – Executive Director & Co-Founder, Woodrose Healthcare & Sommerfield Homes
  Gary shared how passion-driven storytelling creates meaningful engagement. Even simple, authentic narratives can open doors to collaboration and growth.
• Andrew Khoo – Chairman & CEO, The MUI Group
  Andrew encouraged attendees to start with their purpose, showing that understanding your “why” forms the foundation of authenticity and credibility in professional interactions.

Moderation & LinkedIn Insights

Moderated by Muslim Nazari, Senior Customer Success Manager at LinkedIn, the session explored practical strategies for building a personal brand online.

One critical takeaway from both Crystal Lim and Gary Lim was the importance of responding to comments thoughtfully. Engagement isn’t about algorithms; it’s about acknowledging effort, building trust, and fostering genuine connections.

“Every comment represents someone taking time to engage with you—valuing it builds credibility and community.”

Power of Connection

The atmosphere was lively yet inclusive. Instead of business cards, attendees exchanged LinkedIn profiles, naturally forming meaningful connections. Conversations flowed across lounges and breakout spaces, with professionals openly sharing insights and experiences. It was a room where everyone had equal opportunity to be seen and heard, perfectly reflecting the theme of the day.

“No one is above or below anyone else in this room. Everyone shares the same space, the same spotlight, the same opportunity to connect.”

Key Takeaways for Professionals

• Support Others to Amplify Your Voice – visibility grows when you lift others.
• Tell Authentic Stories – genuine experiences resonate more than curated perfection.
• Engage Meaningfully – every comment or interaction is a chance to build trust.
• Start with Purpose – clarity on your “why” strengthens your personal brand.
