How to Interact Like Friends (the SuperME Way)

To interact like friends with your participants — while holding space as a trainer — the SuperME + PLG way creates connection that’s authentic, warm, and transformative.

Here’s a practical and heart-based guide:


How to Interact Like Friends (the SuperME Way)

1. Start with Purpose, Not Position

Drop the “I’m the expert, you’re the learner” mindset.
Instead, enter the room with this energy:

“We’re here to awaken something together.”

Say this early:

“I’m not here to impress you. I’m here to walk beside you — as someone who’s still learning too.”

You instantly become approachable and human.


2. Give Love Freely

Greet each person by name. Make eye contact. Smile sincerely.

💬 During breaks, ask:

“How are you really feeling today?”
“What brought you here, beyond work?”

When they share, don’t interrupt. Just listen with presence.

✨ Love = creating safe emotional space. That’s what friends do.


3. Express Gratitude Publicly

Acknowledge vulnerability in the room:

“Thank you for sharing that. You just gave all of us permission to be real.”

Celebrate small efforts. Say:

“I appreciate you showing up fully today — that’s not easy in our busy world.”

Gratitude turns participants into partners.


Bonus: Use PLG Activities to Deepen Friendship

  • Start with a PLG check-in:

    “What’s your Purpose today? One thing you Love? One thing you’re Grateful for?”

  • End with paired sharing:

    “What’s one thing you saw in your partner today that inspired you?”

They’ll leave not just with notes — but with connections.


Final Tip:

SuperME facilitators are not above the group — they are within it.
They hold structure, yes — but from the heart, not from the ego.

You don’t need to act like a friend.
Just show up as your SuperME — and you’ll become one.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
