4 Day Grooming Workshop for Tampines Secondary School
It’s not an April Fool’s Day joke, everybody. I just finished a marathon-like 4 day grooming workshop for Tampines Secondary School. This is the longest grooming workshop I’ve ever done thus far. But from the grins and smiles all round, I guess the 30 hour long programme was well worth it. Another first record for me was that I was allocated an all girls class. Who would have guessed I would be teaching 22 girls? Of course not forgetting that there was an assessment component at the end of the workshop which I had to set and test the students, subsequently grading …
5 Rules of Dressing: Grooming Assembly Talk for Northland Secondary School
Word of mouth recommendation is one of the most powerful forms of free advertising. And I witnessed this again today. Today’s grooming assembly talk for Northland Secondary School was the result of a phone call from the teacher-in-charge a week ago. It’s a challenge to condense days of training materials into a succinct one hour grooming talk for the graduating students. But it is a challenge worth rising up to. I see my role today as a harbinger. Just like how witch hazels are the harbingers of spring, I am here to ignite the flames of grooming, etiquette …
3 Tips To Dressing Professionally For Teachers: Grooming Talk At ACJC
I remember the days when I was still a student back in school. A teacher was like a parent. And the number of hours I spent in school (including both the normal curriculum and core curriculum activities) was sometimes even longer than when I saw my own parents. As teachers instruct and share knowledge, they also play the role of motivators and educators to their students. As students, we always look up to our teachers as role models. Till this day, I am still grateful to all my ex-teachers who have taught me important values in life. So it is …
3 Rules Of Corporate Dressing: Grooming Talk For Schneider Electric
In today’s digital age, anyone can be a star these days. Through clever and selective presentation, we compete to see how many followers we have on Instagram or how many LIKES our posts have garnered on Facebook. While this is true on the personal front, the same cannot be said in the corporate world. As the name suggests, the corporate world comes with its own set of rules governing what is acceptable behavior. I was invited to give a corporate dressing talk at Schneider Electric today. It was heartening to see the room fill up quickly with eager …

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 SCEI A*Star
They came, they laughed, they enjoyed. And most importantly, they learnt. All within the span of one hour. This is the increasingly popular trend I have been witnessing that many organisations and corporations are adopting these days. I call it the lunchtime talk series. As its name suggests, employees make use of their lunchtime to attend a specially organized talk of interest, through which they will learn new skills and walk away recharged. Today’s corporate grooming talk is similarly done in the same vein. Organised by the friendly people from the HR department, I welcomed a group of about 60 …
Grooming Talk For Singapore Polytechnic Students
The final year of any school education is always the one we hold with much mixed emotions. It is a time of celebration as it marks the culmination of all our hard work at school. Yet it is also a time of trepidation as we do not know what the future holds – should the way ahead be to further our studies or get a job? For many, the answer would be to seek gainful employment. I’m here at Singapore Polytechnic today to speak to a group of graduating students. As part of a module that the students attend (Communication …
Skincare Talk For Singapore General Hospital Nurses
Today’s a special training for a special group of ladies. Following in the footsteps of Florence Nightingale, this special group of ladies has devoted themselves selflessly to their chosen profession. They, like many, believe it is their calling. I’m happy to be able to share with the nurses at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) today in this special training session. From the wide range of topics available, I chose to share about skin care in today’s skincare talk. Whatever line you are in, hygiene is the most important. This is even more pertinent in the healthcare industry. As caregivers, the …
No To Armpit Hair: Vishay Intertechnology Asia Ladies Grooming Talk
One remark from a female participant in class today was enough to send the entire group of 35 ladies into laughter. She said, “a man without hair is like a chicken without feathers.” Lest we think we were into any hairy business, fret not. It was just a ladies grooming talk for the staff of Vishay Intertechnology Asia, a Fortune 500 company. Well, it all started when I reminded all ladies present that one of the biggest turnoffs is having armpit hair and not doing anything about it. That really opened the floodgates of conversation for the ladies. Each had their own …
