I Create & Facilitate Learning Experiences for Leaders to Unlock Organizational Potential 🔵 Org Psychologist & Leadership Speaker 🔵 Top Neurolinguistic Programming Voice 🔵 Licensed NLP Trainer & Coach Trainer

Hey there! It's Stuart!

Over the last 30 years, I have been teaching, coaching and mentoring various leaders at different stages of their growth. 

I've a MBA, and also an MSc in Organizational Psychology. 
My background is in Linguistics and Counseling psychology. 
It puts me in a situation where I actually read people and situations really well. 

This helps me to be a detailed solution creator for organizations who might feel stuck or not know where to go.

I've spoken to well over 500,000 people globally. 
It's been a joy to see them learn new things and expand. 
I'm excited to see people grow and flourish. 

The reason why is because of the number of mentees I've worked with in the past, who have flourished to unbelievable levels, materially, socially and emotionally. 

Some are giants of industry today, others are out of depressive cycles, and still others have found their joy.

Very often, I'm tasked to speak to the senior management group due to my ability to contextualize quickly.

Or to be put to mediate and facilitate difficult conversations.  
I have personally been through many such challenging events in my own life, and therefore empathize with emotional frustrations, anxieties and fears.

As a people developer, I believe in the highest intentions of other people. 

I'm also sensitive to the needs of others, and always do my best to align the needs to the common good.

I see connections of ideas and people where others do not, and innovate along those lines to produce unconventional results in simple ways. 

I adapt to my coachees, and look at ways to present new perspectives so that they liberate themselves from stuck situations.

Many of my programs are designed with the intention of drawing from the "inside-out" approach, helping individuals recognize their inner power, and helping them to create a positive bridge in their communication with others. Personal Mastery, Leadership development, Team Development and Conversational Intelligence are all elements I love working on with BU heads and HRBPs.

Because of my vast experience, I tend to bring together an integrated mix of inspiration and activity, so that we're not just listening to lectures, but really practically building skillsets or engaging in conversations. This elevates training programs to become living communities of learning.

As a coach, I work to heal inner psyche, be it founders or business leaders. It allows them to evolve to higher levels of functioning, make better decisions and achieve better results.

Connect with me, and let's see what we can do to elevate humanity!

Adjunct Lecturer

ST Engineering

Privileged to be part of the team to drive the sales of Land Defence Systems' solutions, developed in Singapore, to the rest of the world. 

I looked at  developing opportunities in Middle East and Africa ( MENA) as well as Europe.  I also focused on the Hybrid Electric Drive (HED) 4x4  product to look at its applications and opportunities world wide.

Senior Manager

Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre

I helped clients plan and secure spaces at Suntec Singapore to have a successful event. I had a team 12 Corporate Sales Managers helping me to achieve that and together, we brought in an average of 1500 events yearly pre-covid days.  

I had a team of fun and young team which are dedicated to the challenges that I set periodically to them to gain new accounts and pushed to exceed the targets set for us.  A number of them had grown in their careers as I coached them while we grew the corporate bookings. There were many pleasant anecdotes on my interaction with the very competent team at Suntec. 

One of it was when the marketing team was crafting a promotional  campaign to drive up occupancy during the weeks of the Lunar New Year. I quickly pointed out to the Senior Director of Product Development and Marketing that customers were not looking to hold a meeting or conference that period. Running discounts was not going to change that.  Everyone wanted a nice banquet and have a good Lou Hei (tossing up of vegetables with raw fish).  Suntec did not have Chinese New Year promotions then as that had not been the focus. We then launched off the Lunar New Year packages which attracted a good following and the occupancy rates went up yearly from then during the Lunar New Year with many happy gatherings with our unique lou hei platters and delicious menus. 

Another I can think of was a conversation with a new joiner. I recalled helping her to identify what exactly our product was. While she gave good answers, I pointed out that we were selling time and space. The product is "perishable" and that positioning drove many of our decisions and price points. That gave her a  paradigm shift which helped her to appreciate the business we were in. 

Covid19  was a challenging period and we were not spared from the lockdowns and cancellation of functions. I witnessed the pivot to hybrid events and got to work directly with the CEO to anchor key clients for long term block bookings.

I took on other initiatives as well so as to present SICC as the platform to advocate their issues as an  respectable industry voice. 

One of it was the successful launch of the Legal Services Committee where more then 40 foreign legal firms joined the Chamber and had numerous meet ups.  This was at the time where Singapore aimed to be an arbitration hub and  many foreign legal firms set up in Singapore.

Another effort was engaging and increasing the membership in the education sector, especially from the private education firms.

I also had the pleasure to serve as the secretariat for the Construction and Real Estate Committee. The committee meets quarterly and updates about the economy as well as activities relevant to them.
