Tired of Being Ignored, Underpaid and Unappreciated? Perhaps You Haven't Found Your Teresa Teng! The remarkable story of a song rejected three times, yet made millions from 1977 to today. Have you ever given your best, only to receive little appreciation? You work hard, but your boss doesn't recognise your contributions. You deliver results, but your rewards hardly reflect your efforts. You have talents, ideas and ambitions, but nobody seems interested. You apply for opportunities, only to be rejected or ignored. Even the government schemes and institutions you hoped would support you may not recognise what you have to offer.  Worse still, the government banned you.  Eventually, you begin to wonder:  "Am I really not good enough?" Before you lose confidence, let me share a story that moved me to tears. A song that struggled for recognition before becoming one of the most beloved Chinese songs in history. 1. Rejected by Its Own Creator In the early 1970s, composer Tony...

The Real Problem Most courses hype people up, but don’t shift the mental operating system . What your client needs is not more techniques, but a core rewiring of how he sees problems, people, and power. When the workplace is full of blame, excuses, and denial, the solution is not to fight harder—but to rise above the dysfunction strategically . How Andy Can Help 1. Inner Strength First: SuperMe Unleashed We help people stop reacting to others' immaturity. Teach You how to anchor in your  Purpose, Love, and Gratitude (PLG) to stay clear, calm, and constructive—even in chaos. “When I shift, others respond differently. I become the silent influencer.” 2.

No need to go for counseling or motivational talks, just follow these 3 proven steps and you can improve the performance of anyone in this world, including yourself: 1. Find good now .  Regardless of how bad or good the performance is right now, say good things about it.   If currently, the performance is no good, say, "I feel that there is one more thing you want to do to be better, right?  By having this thought you are already better than many people". The will feel elevated that finally someone sees the good in him.  If he is doing well now, such praise is also welcomed The key is to do this sincerely and not just go through the motion 2. Ask if there is anything new that the person is attempting.   If none, say, "You are focused".  If there is something new, say you look forward to it 3. End your communication with another praise, the time round can be more specific and use the magic phrase, "I believe in You" The above has worked for myself and m...

"What is the number one result that you believe would bring you the biggest result in this year?" This is the question that I have, since 3 January 2017, asked my clients, this year. Not once but 7 times. People give me different answers, "I want to build my business to a new level this year", "I want to super-charge my career" and "I want to fire my boss" are the three most common answers so far. As the responses emerge, they reveal something important. Your answer to this question shows what you currently believe would give you your biggest return on investment (ROI) for the time, energy and money that you put in. I would next ask a powerful question, "Knowing what you know now, are you willing to break out of your comfort zone and do what is necessary to achieve the result you want this year?" This is where they will give me silence. Let's face it: most people are just living in dreams. They say they want something,...

Many managers and leaders, in their attempt to coach their people, often end up scolding or de-moralising them. If you are doing any the below 10 things, you are not coaching, but merely de-motivating people: Asking "What's wrong? " in a questioning tone Saying, " Let's talk" and look at them in a demanding way Offering your help , "Just see me any time you have problem" and then make yourself unavailable when they seek your help Asking Yes or No questions like, "Are you still in?" instead of asking questions that open up possibilities like "How do you find yourself inside this picture?" Becoming an expert and start giving advise before they ask for it Impatient, look at targets and nothing else Look at the negative side of things, like, "How come nobody volunteers?" and then start appointing people instead without giving people time to respond Picking up losers as examples Picking up winners as exam...

Yesterday my team member consulted me on what to do to close the 2 prospects that he has been following up with.  He asked me how to respond to their text messages.  I really got no time for him, so I simply replied, "Don't do anything". He was surprised, and when he called me, I simply asked him, "Is this really what you want?" That startled him, and he said that the 2 prospects are not really on top of his list. With that I get him to focus on prospects that are of higher quality, for this is the fastest way to increase his sales conversion. What I have just done is called coaching. It is for people that have no time. When you have time, you can slowly manage and teach him. But when you're short of time, coach instead. The most common way to coach is to ask questions, for questions will prompt the person to think for himself. That, to me is teaching people how to fish, rather than giving them th...

People in Singapore are willing to spend $3,000 to attend a 2-days course but unwilling to invest $300 for a 2-hour coaching session. Is coaching really just a MNC thing and local companies consider coaching as a waste of money?  In reality, people know the value of coaching, they just have not found the right coach... Common Questions and Answers on Coaching: 1.  What is the difference between coaching and mentoring ? To me, ignoring academic definitions, I go for the practical approach. Coaching and mentoring are the same except that the mentor is a person that is more senior, more knowledgeable and more experienced than the mentee. But a coach can know less than a coachee and still coach him. This is because coaching is not about teaching people what they don't know but digging out what they know and getting them to take action on what they know. For example, we all know about the benefits of regular exercise. So we don't need a coach to tell us why exer...

When your men come to you looking for answers to their problems, do you give them the fish or you teach them how to fish? When you give them the fish, they deprive themselves the chance to learn. Instead of leveraging on you, they rely on you. But when you teach them how to fish, they become leaders too. There are 5 ways to teach people how to fish: Look for obvious and most pivotal answers to problems . Don't beat around the bush trying to cure symptoms of problems. Instead go to the root of the problem and look for permanent solutions. Like the solution to sales is not to look for new prospects, but to improve your offering first Go for the kill, be daring and go all the way . Most followers like to do things step by step. But leaders know that it is more productive to take a few steps forward at one go than to take one step at a time and lose momentum along the way. Like in sales, the 3 steps to take to get more customers are to prospect more, prospect deeper and prospect ...

Successful managers use a very effective management tactic that wins people over easily. This tactic is actually a process that  manages people without managing people .   This is because a good manager never managers anyone, he simply  creates the conditions for people to manage themselves.    Transformational Leadership (TL)  is the latest buzzword in management.   This is how works: You find out what are the goals of people You share with them the goals of your organization You link how achieving the organization's goals will achieve their individual's goals You show them the step-by-step pathways to achieving the 2 goals, plus you offer assistance and coaching.   You see, when you do the above, you are not telling people that they must achieve your organization's goals.  You're  helping your people to achieve their own goals.   Asking questions helps you to find out what are their real needs.  You will be se...

In my over 14 years of coaching experience, I notice that all my coachees come to me saying that they are suffering some kind of stress at work.  There is never enough time to do anything, and targets are always being raised, yet costs are still rising and profit margins are shrinking fast. Today I share with all how our coaching works, and how we have been using this method to coach people since 2001.  Feel free to share this with your friends, for the more we share, the more we have. First, I have my client define to me what their stress is really about.  But I never make the stress bigger than what it really is, nor do I dismiss their stress as 'nothing, many people have worse stress than you'.   Next, I will help my client discover the causes of his stress, which means he needs to examine some deeper, even unconscious, aspects of his working and personal life.  My purpose is to bring my client quickly into a mindful awareness of these causes and...
