My background
Over my 13+ years’ experience developing over 1,000 executives, managers, specialists and university students, I have discovered a huge gap between leaders, cross-generational thinking and organization culture. If the gap can be narrowed, a huge potential will be released:

Fresh grad -> a competent employee
Employee -> an effective manager
Manager -> a servant leader
Senior executive -> a mindful and genuine leader

My specialty
– Provide first-class leadership consultation, training and counselling
– Combine latest research on neuroscience, positive psychology, organization behavior and leadership, to attain sustainable development
– Design courses, both online and face-to-face, through applying relevant experiential learning, mindfulness practice, and customized role-playing games and forum theater
– Make use of suitable psychological assessment tools and certified procedures to enhance leadership, including TPP CBMT, EQi2.0, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® Step I & II, LEA 360, PRO-D, and Miller Heiman Strategic Sales
