TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS
Dean Yap, 42- formerly in banking, in career transition
The full day workshop is packed but never dull. It expanded my mindset, giving more clarity to the ambiguous future. The term, exponential change, is key to waves of revolutionary changes. Preparing my mind to expect these waves allows me to reinspect my current situation, and provides unfair advantage to brace for impact, or better, to capture new opportunities. While the curriculum is great, questions, discussions or even debates from fellow classmates are added bonus. It allows us to see more perspectives, bringing us to deeper understanding. I will recommend this workshop to anyone who wish to remain relevant, and to harness new opportunities that are not visible to many others.
Mark Khng- Senior Specialist | U Future Leaders, NTUC
This workshop was a real eye opener in linking currently developing technologies to possible future scenarios and how they could disrupt business and work as we know it now. The workshop was also a treasure trove of examples and anecdotes that made it easy to understand and follow.
Soh Yong Chuan- Senior Manager cum Innovation Champion, Skillsfuture Singapore
Charlie made the masterclass very lively by engaging participants in the learning process, where everyone is encouraged to speak freely and candidly in response to his thought-provoking questions on “Jobs-To-Be-Done Framework” and “Innovation”. Besides very well-prepared and inviting participants’ feedback throughout the session, he also uses stories to illustrate key learning points.

This is an amazing program! As a recent graduate, this workshop opened my eyes to the exciting yet disruptive scenarios of work in the process of playing out. It adjusted my mindset to be constantly ahead of the game by upgrading with new, and especially tech, skills and re-inventing my career strategies. Highly recommended for PMEs from all age groups.
