Conducted a Visual Merchandising and Presentation Skills Training at Nokia yesterday. It’s been a while since I went back to conduct training at HQ. Had a bit of a mix up cos I brought outdated slides to the training =P Thankfully, the problem was sorted out, albeit with a bit of hassle.
Conducting the presentation skills training made me realise there’s actually pretty decent content that can be packaged into a program itself, for budding trainers perhaps. So that’s the next program that I’m gonna come up with: Presentation Skills With NLP And Enneagram.. after my Communication Skills program =P
Latest update on the Search Engine Optimisation project for AZ Education. We’re on page one of Yahoo search for the keywords Singapore Home Tutor and Singapore Tuition Teacher. Pretty good progress in a week =) Next up is offline marketing, which will start next week.
By the way, I have a friend desperately looking for those Mac glasses (lime colour). If you spot any Mac with lime coloured glasses available, do a good deed and let me know =P

I was at the train station yesterday and i saw this very interesting campaign that is on going now. For those of you who are familiar with Phua Chu Kang (for my foreign friends, PCK is a pretty popular figure from a sitcom that used to air on TV some years back), he can now be seen on buses and trains urging us to be considerate when using public transport.
Here’s an example of the campaign, a poster that can be seen on train platform doors:
So hopefully, with this message pasted on the platform doors, it’ll remind those anxious and excited train passengers to let people alight first before they rush in. Will it work? Your guess is as good as mine.

I made an amazing discovery a few days back (okie well, maybe not THAT amazing =p).. my blog is actually a pretty decent tool to help promoters sell phones!
There i was, lying on bed and using my N97 test set (The internet is filled with news about it so i take it as a sign that i can name the model too). I was checking out Formula 1 and soccer sites, when i suddenly wondered how my blog would look on the phone screen.
To my pleasant surprise, it looked perfectly good =) And the best part is, i’m able to view the youtube videos that i posted without any lag or problems. The pictures i posted looked good too. In addition, subscribing for my RSS feed was a breeze.. just click on the RSS icon somewhere near the top and you’re subscribed!
Imagine showing customers this blog (or their own for that matter), then showing them how the videos and pictures look, and how easy it is to subscribe to RSS. That is natural story telling at its best!
So there, this will now become my “Demo Post”. I’m gonna show this post everytime i do a demonstration in training =p

Went to a neighbourhood school to conduct a training on Travel and Tourism this morning. The gist of the training revolves around the tourism industry and equipping the students with some knowledge on what it takes to be a Tour Guide (yeah.. in case you’re wondering, I was in tourism for 7 years before becoming a trainer).
Some of the key skills that the students learnt included stuff like presentation skills, interesting stories and facts about Singapore, itinery planning and coordination. There’s gonna be a field trip next week to allow the students to put what they learn into practice.
I must say, conducting a training in a class of over 30 noisy kids is one very interesting experience. Thankfully, I have a loud voice =P Though because of the weather, I was perspiring a lot (it didn’t help that I had to be dressed formally).
Food for thought: Would you rather be a school teacher and deal with kids, or a corporate trainer and deal with adults?
