Gratitude for these 2 Challenging Weeks

It has been a very challenging 2 weeks. Every challenge is an experience and some experience contributes to our learning curve. Eldest Daughter Hospitalized. Just over 2 weeks ago, my eldest daughter woke me up to tell me of her pain in her tummy area. It was about 1 am or so. I told her to take a sip of water and try to sleep. I tried to comfort her as much as I possibly can but I didn’t think…

Congratulations to Liverpool FC! Here are 3 Lessons We Can Learn From Jurgen Klopp & Liverpool FC

I was 7 years old when I first played football. It was the first time I actually kicked and held a real football and it was during a physical exercise lesson. Before that, I just watched football on tv, regularly watching some men in red jerseys kicking in a large field. I didn’t understand the game then.

I tried to ask but most of the adults during that time is not at a state of explaining the…

A Huge Wake Up Call by Covid-19

I first heard of Covid-19 in December 2019, from a small exotic meat market in Wuhan, or so we’re told. A few months later, this virus has ravaged the global economy, forcing industries to be shut down.

In March 2020, some of the measures began taking place in Singapore. Measures that hurts my business and the industry we’re in. It hurts, but it had to be done. It must be done.

NO!!! I CHEATED!!HOW COULD I?!!

It is Day 5 today and it was supposed to be an 16:8. I even planned it as you can see from the Zero app that I’m using to track my fasts.

Side note: If you want to track your fast, this Zero app is a good app to use.

There are 2 things why I am so disappointed with myself;

I didn’t plan to eat until 2 pm.

I ate a high carb local food that will surely kick me out of ketosis!

Workshop Learning Activities - Speed Dating

Workshop Learning Activities – Speed Dating

As a learner, there is a limit to what I can learn in a ‘sit and listen’ classroom environment. As a trainer, I personally feel that it is more exciting and fun to add variation of strategies to make learning fun.

Speed Dating is something I use, for both ice-breakers and learning activity. The steps remained the same even though the aim and content of the discussion differs.

“It is Monday and work begins at 8am. Salesman Sam has just reached the office. He put his bag by his table, turned on his computer and opened the day’s newspaper.

My Personal Goal Getting Story

One of the most intriguing topic in the area of personal development is Goal Setting. A few years back, I found a story on the importance of proper goal setting and goal management. A well-known U.S. Decathlete and Olympic gold medalist, Bruce Jenner, was speaking to a roomful of Olympic hopefuls.

Why You Need To Be Successful

“I am just a technician. Being a success is really beyond me” “As a janitor (cleaner), there is no such thing as success”

These are some of the more common comments I hear during those days when I was conducting Employability Skills.

Even my fellow trainers and my mentor, received their fair share of such comments.

I remembered my mentor sharing with me on how disheartened he was when he heard…

Using QR Code As Part Of Your Staff Training Activity

It was 1st April 2015 when I first created this video. At that time, I had another website advocating learner centered instruction but it was not well received. Nevertheless, the videos stayed online and I hope it can continue to be some form of resource on way or another.

This activity is nothing high tech or complicated, but I have successfully used it to add variety to the way I run my…

Using Whiteboard Videos As A Training Tool

Have you seen or heard about a whiteboard video? The one that shows a hand writing or doodling throughout the video?

One of the first whiteboard videos that I came across was way back in 2010. It was titled “Where Good Ideas Come From” by Steven Johnson. I was intrigued by how this simple animation, which consists of a hand holding a marker writing notes on a whiteboard.

I didn’t really get to…

That Goose & Golden Eggs Story..

One of the reasons I strongly recommend reading Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is really because it is easy to read and he makes use of basic analogy to drive his point across.

The stories he used in his book is not totally new, or at least not to me. But he shared it from a personal development perspective whereas I heard it about 25-30 years ago, its lessons on morals and…

Great Thing About Gratitude

It was a cool Wednesday morning and Teachers’ Day was just over last week. I thought nothing will be more apt than to write a little bit on Gratitude. If you have read books on personal development, goal setting and positive mindset etc, you will find this to be one of the most common topics talked about. Even seminars by personal development experts like Tony Robbins covers this topic quite…
