Cream of the Crop

I personally think that the IvP is a great programme for young students to stand up and dare to be creative.

These students at Kong Hwa School are exceptionally intelligent, creative and initiative (and self-initiated learners if I may add). Don't judge them based on their sizes, for small people, they sure have big ideas.

The red dot design museum never cease to amaze. Especially if you're visiting it for the first time. Students want to email the designers to ask them some questions on their works.
'Grandma, what a big fridge you have...' 'The better to chop you up and refrigerate you my dear...' A student explores one of the award-winning design refrigerator.
Back to school : students share what they have learnt during the museum visit.

BrainWriting in action! 'So what do you think?' The Innovative 8 (one of them is missing from the picture) brainstorm for ideas.' So tell me again why these students are so passionate about innovation? They come up with great ideas, question everything and have a huge hunger to learn.'

'These are the better students, they're all student leaders and are good performers in school.'

Ah, this explains everything. All the best for your IvP project kids! I'll definitely be seeing you soon!

InnoWorks™ : Spark That Idea!

I think I forgot to announce this but Youth Enterprise Academy is the Education Partner of the 9th Design Competition organised by Bukit View Secondary School and Ngee Ann Polytechnic.



To help students to find that creative spark they need to create that winning design, a compact version of the programme was customised for the competition and students and teachers from schools like Rulang Primary School, Raffles Girls School (Secondary) and Pasir Ris Primary School came together for an afternoon of learning and fun!

'Hmm where does this piece go?'

Students learn about the importance of Innovation in today's world. It's presentation time! Feedback is always important. And I really like their ideas too!

The red dot design museum is a great place for new ideas to spawn forth from young minds!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the teachers and students for attending the workshop.

It's not often that we have teachers and students to come together as participants and I'm glad they did, because I think that just the simple task of working together will help to them to bond as a team and I'm confident that they'll be able to do well in the upcoming competition!

Selling Made Easy

I suppose that I should really feel quite touched when students from the ETP Club who turn up for the Fundamental of Sales workshop even though they have already attended it before.

When asked why the repeat attendance they responded, 'Because your workshop is interesting mah!'

As a trainer, that's easily the biggest compliment your student can give you.

A good thing then that I always try to make sure that each workshop is a unique experiece with different examples, case studies and activities.

Here are the highlights of the recently concluded Fundamentals of Sales workshop at ITE West (Clementi Campus).

Showing them the ultimate Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon sales move

Students were split into 2 groups of buyers and sellers to try and see who can get a better bargain out of the negotiation process.

Students share a private funny moment.

Jeralynn and friend try to act cute. They succeeded.

Roleplaying is fun!

I really look forward to working with them again. Hehe, I haven't shown them the Raising Phoenix Marketing Stance yet.
