Event: Community Webinar - Bible Characters Who Lived No Ordinary Lives
This month inside the NOL Community, we begin our first spiritual capacity‑building series. As a Christian organisation, we believe that a strong spiritual foundation is essential for living a truly extraordinary life.
Our June session explores:
“Lessons from Bible Characters Who Lived No Ordinary Lives.”
We’ll look at how men and women in Scripture lived with purpose, conviction, courage, and faith — and what that means for us today.
To take part in the webinar series and everything the community has to offer, kindly join the community by Sunday 23:59, 14 June.

Your LinkedIn profile is more than an online CV — it’s your digital first impression, your personal brand, and your gateway to opportunities.
In this practical, step‑by‑step webinar, you’ll learn how to craft a profile that showcases your strengths, tells your story, and attracts the right people — from recruiters and employers to collaborators and mentors.
We’ll break down what actually matters on LinkedIn today, what hiring managers look for, and how you can position yourself confidently even if you feel you “don’t have enough experience.”

A Better up (2022) article defines an identity crisis as 'a period of uncertainty or confusion in a person’s life. This crisis occurs when a person’s sense of identity becomes insecure and unstable.'
But what happens when this period becomes prolonged, an intense struggle and takes over one's life? It leaves a person in a confused state, in doubt and in anxiety of their present and future.
These days, this crisis can be heavily influenced by the media, social media, peers or even loved ones knowingly or unknowingly.
This year, NOL is on a mission and committed to building individuals at the core through mental health and personal development with our theme 'The Year of You'.
Join us for an honest, engaging, empowering and rewarding talk on 'BEING THE BEST YOU'. Our Guest Speakers have experience with overcoming setbacks and are passionate of this topic.
