Business and Money Tips

There are 2 types of training in this world: Narrowing the Mind and Broadening the Mind Training.  Type 1: Narrowing the Mind Training This type of training narrows the mind; that is, the mind becomes narrower after the training.  By 'mind' here I mean the thinking, both conscious and non-conscious.   Narrowing the Mind Training, instead of letting the trainee know what the possibilities are, restricts him to fewer possibilities.  For example, some corporate trainers teach people only a certain fixed way of doing things and disregard other schools of thought.   They are dogmatic and usually claim to be 'gurus' or some form of special intellectual people.  In my opinion, these people are 'sukus', not gurus.  ('Suku' is a Malay word for stupid) Type 2: Broadening the Mind Training Many trainees don't like this type of training, for they are given so many possibilities and everything is okay.  Some will ask for model answers.   Mo...

People look at me at sixty-two. Still active. Still speaking. Still training. Still looking for business. They ask me, “Andy, when are you going to stop? Isn’t AI doing your job better? AI can create content, deliver content, translate content into 120 languages. Do you still think you’re relevant?” I always smile. I don’t argue. I ask them one simple question: “Do you love your child… or do you just want your child?” Because wanting someone and loving someone… are two different worlds. Let me share a small story. Years ago, my youngest son was at his naughtiest stage. He refused instructions, talked back, challenged everything. I would scold him, threaten him, push him harder. And the more I pushed, the more rebellious he became. Then one day, after a meditation course, something shifted in me. I looked at him — really looked — and for just one second, I held him in my heart with love instead of frustration. Immediately, he sensed it. He asked, “Daddy… what’s wrong?” I said, “Nothing ...

The Hidden Needs of Every Corporate Client — and How Top Trainers Uncover Them by Andy Ng, Speaker Coach & SuperME Community Builder Today at Chinatown’s Y & G, I found a foldable soft hat for just $6.90. I wasn’t looking for it — but it caught my attention because there was a hidden need . That small moment reminded me of something powerful: 👉 People don’t always know what they need — until someone helps them see it. When it comes to corporate training, many leaders say: “No need for motivational talks.” “No need for more training.” “No need for executive coaching.” But what they really mean is: “We haven’t seen something that speaks directly to our hidden needs — yet.” Below are 10 proven ways top speakers and trainers — in Singapore and worldwide — uncover these hidden corporate needs and keep their business flowing non-stop. 1. Start with Conversations, Not Pitches Leaders don’t want another vendor; they want a thought partner. Ask questions like: “Wh...

How Andy Ng Added “Juice” to Every Training with SuperME and Purpose-Love-Gratitude For years, I conducted training courses and gave talks that were insightful, structured, and well-received. But something was missing. Then, something shifted. When I started integrating the SuperME framework — especially the essence of Purpose, Love, and Gratitude (PLG) — everything changed. It was no longer just about teaching skills. It became about touching souls. The Difference Was Enormous Instead of just... Tips on communication, people learned to connect with authenticity Strategies for leadership, they discovered how to lead with love Problem-solving techniques, they learned to align with their true purpose And I could feel it: The eyes stayed longer The hearts opened wider The results went deeper Because this wasn’t just another talk. This was transformation — real, human, and lasting. ❤️ Why People Love It Now Because it’s no longer about being impressive — it’s about being impactful. It’s no...

AI Can Simulate Content. SuperME Creates Connection. While AI can provide information, it cannot : Hold space for someone’s inner breakthrough Mirror back their unspoken emotions Transform pain into power through human compassion Walk beside them when they feel stuck or lost Love them unconditionally while they rise again SuperME does all that — and more.   Why Our SuperME Courses Are Beyond AI: SuperME Course What AI Can’t Do Live Reflection Circles AI can’t offer soulful, safe spaces for vulnerability PLG Activation AI can’t feel or transmit genuine Purpose, Love or Gratitude Storytelling from the Heart AI tells stories; SuperME embodies them Transformational Presence AI doesn’t have energy, soul or intuition Inner Mirror Exercises AI can’t hold silence, presence, or emotional resonance Ripple Impact Design AI can plan tasks; SuperME births movements SuperME Trainings are about: Transformation , not just transactions eg https://asiatrainers.org/smu1d ...

Trainings conducted by SuperMEs are what people truly want — even if they don’t know it yet — because they don’t just inform minds, they ignite hearts and restore humanity in the workplace. Here’s why: 1. SuperME Trainings Create Emotional Safety People don’t learn when they feel judged. They open up when they feel seen, heard, and valued. A SuperME trainer doesn't perform. They connect. They begin with presence, not PowerPoint. They allow silence, not just slides. “I felt like I could finally breathe in a training.” — Participant, Government Agency 2. SuperME Trainings Realign People with Their Inner Compass Most trainings teach skills. SuperME trainings awaken Purpose. When people remember their why, they stop dragging themselves to work they stop blaming others they start showing up from within That’s why SuperME sessions often leave participants saying: “I came for work. I found myself.” 3. SuperME Trainings Are Rooted in Love, Not Ego SuperMEs don’t stand on stage to impress. ...

20 Ways to Drive Training Consumption Gordon Johnson, author of “The Ultimate Guide to LMS Marketing", all rights with the author.  Training is arguably the most important part of every customer success program, but customers don’t have the time to master your product like you want them to.

Yes, you'll be surprised that your training participants said that they have learnt nothing much from your training. Before you get depressed as a Trainer and wondered what went wrong, why not listen further to the feedback? I said, "Since you said 'nothing much', that means there is something that you learnt.  Could you share with me so that we can help others in future?" There are 5 things that he learnt but dare not shared with me in the open, they are as follows: They learnt about themselves, like who they are as a person with fears, hopes and dreams.  In our training we get everyone to do the impossible : cut a piece of wood with just a piece of A4 paper They learnt that other companies are worse than them , that their bosses are not so bad after all. This is achieved when I shared with them my experience in training over 13,131 people since 2001 in 16 countries They learnt that commercial movies video clips are very educational too.  When I playe...

Many managers say training is important, yet they fail to do much about it.   A good training program accomplishes 3 goals. Firstly it imparts the skills necessary for efficient work habits and a high degree of competency.  If I am training people on sales, it must teach them the habit of making 5 sales calls a day and asking clients' questions using a professional format.   Second, it builds an employee's knowledge to allow for them to learn and do more on their own. For example, in our How to Be a Better Manager program, we teach managers how to inspire people based on their current weekly staff meeting. Third, a good training program must motivate and inspire people to take action, not in the distant future, but now. That's why in all our trainings we have this 7-Day Profit Action Plan that all participants get to fill in during the course.  In this way they can apply what they learn immediately. We will also compute the increase in profits from that appl...
