I found the vulnerability sessions really able to make the team connect and understand each other better. The DISC profiling also enabled individuals to learn how to work with other types of personality! The instructors were very professional and clear in their teachings of the workshop. Thank you for all the sharing and learning, it was a very good experience along with the course materials.

It helps them to understand themselves and other team members so that we can work together more cohesively! 

Thank you!

Thank you for the session to learn the applications and understanding of how an effective team with different disc profiles can work together and apply conflicts in a positive light for the greater good of the organization. Strongly recommended the Five Behaviours programme for companies. Very pleased with the programme. Will engage with your services again!

I have a better understanding of what kind of leader I am and where should I improve; 360 feedback is the most valuable part which really helped me to understand better about strength and weakness; The FUEL module helps me out to frame and give feedback (especially redirecting feedback) to others; I have gained insight from workshop, the key to developing great leadership is to build strengths! Leaders are made, not born! Zenger Folkman is one of best organization to build your further success.

The mission statement of Lifeskills Institute is “Empowering people to lead their organisations and communities with impact by fanning into flame the gifts in them.”

In the 2 days CBC training I recently had, I personally felt I was empowered. The trainers were able to meet me where I was at and even though my background & training is not in the corporate world, they could “speak” my language & make the training very practical & applicable to what I do & where I work. They made the training a fun learning experience & created a safe place & space for learning & vulnerability. I highly recommend Life Skills Institute: no matter whether you are in the corporate world, NGO or in non- profits.

I had the privilege of attending LifeSkills Institute Malaysia’s training sessions recently, and I am thrilled to share my enthusiasm for the transformative experience I had. Each session was a revelation, leaving me inspired and armed with invaluable tools for my personal and professional growth.

The “Creative Problem Solving” training conducted by Chai Lee Fong & Kai was nothing short of eye-opening. I acquired a fresh perspective on approaching challenges, learned how to gather pertinent information, and mastered the art of effective problem definition. This newfound knowledge has completely transformed the way I confront obstacles in my professional life, making me more adept at finding innovative solutions.

“DISCovery The Strength in Us ” conducted by Chai Lee Fong, Kai was an absolute delight. It introduced me to the power of the DISC Personality System, which has been a game-changer in my understanding of behavior and communication styles. This training has had a profound impact on our team dynamics, fostering better collaboration and cohesion among team members.

The “Certified Career Coach” training conducted by Chai Lee Fong was truly life-changing. It equipped me with a comprehensive toolkit for helping individuals identify their strengths, skills, and passions, ultimately guiding them on their career paths. I now feel confident and capable of making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I support in their professional journeys.
I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the expertise and unwavering commitment of LifeSkills Leadership in delivering high-quality training. The instructors were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also engaging, making the learning experience enjoyable. Their genuine passion for helping us grow was evident throughout.

For those in search of a training company that can ignite their team’s potential and drive success, I wholeheartedly recommend Lifeskills Institute Malaysia. They have surpassed my expectations, and I am eagerly looking forward to applying my newfound skills to make a positive impact within my organization.
Thank you, Lifeskills Institute Malaysia, for providing me with these transformative learning.

I would like to say ‘Thank you’ for the great sharing of your expertise in the class. It’s one of the most wonderful and engaging events that I have attended and I have benefited lots from the class.

Many SME owners can relate that running a business isn’t easy. Besides taking care of operations, cash flow, and looking out for new opportunities, we still need to look after our teams – ensuring that they are motivated and productive. That’s A LOT of work!

Thanks to the wonderful trainers at Lifeskills, we’re on to a great start to building a strong culture. No regrets attending the course. In fact, if you’re looking to scale your team, this course is a MUST-GO, else you may be making a grave mistake!

Dear Ian and Lee Fong, Thank you very much for sharing your expertise and facilitating 2 great workshops that have no doubt enhanced the collaboration between the team. It has taught us to embrace our differences and in fact, showed how differences are important so that we are more well balanced and well rounded as a team. Unity in diversity. Looking forward to stronger teamwork and looking forward to when our paths will cross again. With deep and sincere gratitude.

I had the pleasure to participate in a coaching experience as part of our company  global initiative to provide a Leadership program to  Top Management.  This activity was delivered by Zenger Folkman based on their Extraordinary Leadership Program. I had the opportunity to meet Ian Tan, principal consultant from life skills resources  as coach on this sessions.  I really enjoyed the experience and found it very positive and helpful both for the direct participants but also for the rest of people that later on we will interact with. So let me take a few lines to highlight the main benefits I can see from those sessions.

As start, getting a 360 degree report provides a clear picture about how is the perception that rest of the people have from you, letting us to identify improvement opportunities to have a better communication and work relationship at different levels. A big number of surveys will provide a clear picture about our strengths and weaknesses in terms of communication with others. It also delivers a very clear rate about how much other’s perception match with what you think about yourself. Big treasure.

One very interesting and helpful benefit during sessions was to have a very clear understanding of how important is to communicate, approach and provide feedback to other people in the right way. It let’s us to be more efficient but even more important to make others become too. It might sounds simple in principle, but not sure if we really realize the effects we can have in others.  During different exercises, we go deep in the difference between our intention and the perception by others during communication process. It was clearly highlighted and easy perceived how the way to communicate things, to approach people, even body language may change or misunderstood completely the message, hiding the intention. This is very important to realize about, in order to simplify the things, be effective and make others feel better and recognized.

Another clear benefit I  will like to remark is to be able understand the benefits and learn about some key rules to develop an active listening skills. Much more that take the time to hear what people want to say is to create the suitable atmosphere, having the sensitive attitude to make the other person feel comfortable, show him/her actively your willingness to listen and enjoy / learn during the listening about the rich information coming back. On these conditions, it will be as much more fluent and more useful as much more open the speaker will feel, giving the chance to share all the real message he/she was to transmit without conditioning or prejudices. Active listening help people to express themselves. Clearly.

I especially enjoyed the practice and exercise with my peers. It let me know some details about them than sometimes even surprised me, at the same time that it showed us clearly the benefits of the guidelines provided. Even more when they were followed and highlighted by the coach with “real life examples” that illustrate the relevancy of the message.  Simple , but these simple things are the best to connect and engage with the audience.

Finally, this exercise also reinforces me on my self-knowledge about my strengths and provide me suitable tools to keep on improving on those competencies identified as no so strong. But even more, nothing about to change the way you are. Be yourself, but Just make sure that what you want to show is what the rest will perceive. And this is a powerful gift. This gift, together with having some time with peers, smile and have fun during  exercises and find some simple guidelines to improve the communication skills makes me definitively to recommend this activities to anyone thinking about how to improve the company.

Thanks for your support, Ian.
