How to Be Human Not Humanoid

AI will make machines more intelligent.

The real question is: will humans become more human?

Across many organisations today, I hear three concerns again and again:

• “Will AI replace my job?”

• “How do I stay relevant?”

• “Why does work feel increasingly mechanical?”

Technology is advancing rapidly. Machines can already analyse data, write reports, and automate many decisions.

But leadership today is not becoming easier. In fact, it is becoming more human.

The real advantage in the AI era will not be IQ or technical skill alone.

It will be human judgment, trust, courage and the ability to lead people through uncertainty.

This insight led me to develop a new leadership program:

How to Be Human, Not Humanoid in the AI Era

The program explores how leaders can strengthen what machines cannot replicate:

• Love Intelligence (LQ): building trust, courage and connection

• Strategic thinking inspired by Yijing

• Influence and conflict management from Sun Tzu’s Art of War

• Understanding the hidden drivers that shape human decisions

The goal is simple:

to help leaders remain valuable, trusted and deeply human in an age of intelligent machines.

I will be introducing this program to organisations, training institutions and leadership development platforms in Singapore.

If your organisation is exploring leadership development for the AI era, I would be happy to connect.

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

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...

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...
