Corporate Lunchtime Grooming Talk: Rotary Engineering Limited
Rotary Engineering Limited is one of the region’s leading oil and gas infrastructure services companies with an extensive international experience offering fully integrated engineering design, procurement, construction and maintenance (EPCM) services to the oil and gas, petroleum, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Yesterday’s Corporate Lunchtime Grooming Talk Series was held at Jurong Island (which I visited for the very first time) and today’s session held at its Tuas office. With the majority of the men dressed in their company overalls and the ladies in their office wear, it was comforting to see an equal number of both genders. Speaking to the staff on …
Lunchtime Grooming Talk for Singapore Manufacturing Federation
Never underestimate the power of a positive first impression. It is of utmost importance. This was the message I shared with the staff of Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF) at today’s lunchtime personal grooming talk. Personal grooming – a topic that is so close to all our hearts as we are really what we wear. Going one step beyond the clothes, confidence is also seen in our body posture. When you look into the mirror – do you see a lion or a cat? I know both animals belong to the feline family but there’s a huge difference between …
Grooming Talk For Cycle & Carriage Fulco Motor Dealer
Much as our lives revolve a lot around technology such as our mobile phones, the internet and television, so too does the life of a trainer depend on the trustworthy laptop and projector most of the times. But things don’t always go the way you want it, even though you may wish it to be. This happened today during the lunchtime grooming talk at Fulco Motor Dealer. The projector decided to take a break and the laptop went on a random on-off mode. Was I perturbed? Maybe a little. But I’m never one to give up that easily. The show …
Corporate Lunchtime Grooming Talk: Rockwell Automation Asia Pacific
I was told to be mentally prepared when I first stepped in the empty room by the HR manager that it was going to be a full crowd today for my grooming talk. All 48 seats would be filled. I smiled. In most cases when employees RSVPed saying they would attend, some would not come eventually as some other matters may crop up. But boy was I wrong. From the moment the first lady stepped in, next followed another guy…and true enough, all 48 seats were filled. While most came in their executive wear, a small minority came in their …
Grooming Talk For DDI Asia Pacific
It’s my first time checking out the Changi Business Park. Located a stone’s throw away from Expo MRT station, it counts among its clients all the major banks and of course DDI Asia Pacific International which I’m heading to to give my grooming talk. A global talent management company, one would naturally be thinking real hard on how to break the ice as these guys are really corporate. And besides, how can I value add to their lives stuff that they don’t already know? With these questions burning in my mind, I walked into the boardroom and was greeted by …
Corporate Grooming Talk For Hitachi Asia
I’m at Hitachi Asia for a corporate grooming talk today. A stone’s throw away from the Tampines bus interchange lies Tampines Grande which houses Hitachi Asia. And now all eyes are on both the staff and myself in the Alive Room. If you ask me what makes training fun, I would say it is the energy of the room and the willingness to participate regardless of what challenges you throw the audience. All these and more secret ingredients I found in the Hitachi staff today. In fact, I could not have asked for more as they really made me feel …
Corporate Grooming Talk For NAVTEQ Singapore
It’s regarded as one of architectural office icons in Singapore and I always see it dot the city skyline from afar. Yet until today, I’ve never had any chance to enter its premise. Introducing The Gateway, a pair of office buildings on Beach Road designed by the world famous US based architect I.M. Pei. Likened to two towering cardboard boxes, I was invited to The Gateway East building to give a corporate grooming talk at NAVTEQ. Whether you own an in-house navigation system to get from Point A to Point B, or are trying to find the closest fuel station on your way …
Grooming Talk For Crowe Horwath First Trust
Sometimes I wonder whether there is a special glue that brings strangers together. How do you explain the fact that I feel so super relaxed today even though the environment at an auditor’s office should be more corporate in feel? Call it affinity, chemistry or positive vibes, but I experienced it all first hand today during my grooming talk at Crowe Horwath First Trust. Surrounded by a room of ladies and a sole gentleman, it was evident that they were really a fun lot to be around with. With good natured humour, active participation and the occasional teasing between colleagues, …
Grooming Talk At Toyota Motor Asia Pacific
I’ve learnt about the market innovativeness of this Japanese model back in my school days. I’ve also driven one of them before. And in case you are still wondering, I’m talking about Toyota. And here I am tonight at Toyota Motor Asia Pacific for their very first grooming talk. Held in conjunction as part of the staff welfare programme, the talk kicked off with a Japanese bento dinner. I loved the arrangement of the tables in the room in island styles as it meant plenty of interaction space between the participants and myself. Many a times, I don’t see myself as …
Grooming Talk For Gemalto
If there’s any reason why I feel extra safe today, it’s because I’m at Gemalto. A world leader in digital security, Gemalto provides services and products that we are all familiar with – think smart cards, credit cards, tokens and e-passports. Just like how each product is differentiated in terms of branding, each person likewise is personified by the way he carries himself. This is demonstrated through the dressing, style and overall confidence. With a warm reception from the participants who packed the room, today’s grooming talk kicked off on a high note. Starting on a positive note is always a welcome …
