Maxwell Unplugged, a podcast series part of Maxwell En-Route, is a female-led podcast series to showcase, empower and support talent in the legal industry by featuring their takeaways and insights.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of featuring Gloria Lim, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), in conversation with Hazel Tang, Partner at Hui Zhong Law Firm.

Gloria shares personal reflections on what it means to lead with heart and purpose, including embracing diversity, authenticity, and the balance between strength and compassion. She believes in being a personal rather than positional leader, one who inspires through connection and integrity. Through her own experiences, she speaks about building “muscle” through perseverance, seeing the workplace as a “school of life,” and learning to “join the dots” by connecting people, ideas, and purpose. With warmth and humility, she reminds us that leadership is human, to be authentic, stay humble, and always strive to be the solution to someone’s problem.

Join like-minded arbitrators, corporate counsel and practising lawyers for an interactive and insightful day of discussions. This 45th edition will feature the announcement of the ICC Institute World Business Law Prize laureate, followed by a cocktail reception.
