THE IDEALIST AND THE SEEKER. These are the types who join us. One dreams of making a change in peoples' lives while the other wants to leave the rat race and discover themselves.

Who We Are

  • People Potential is a Management Development consultancy. We have worked in 20 countries with some of the most learning & development savvy clients including Fortune 500 companies.
  • We have three Practice Areas centred around Management Development solutions:
    • Leadership & Management
    • Business Presentations
    • Professional Productivity
  • Our Content Specialists work with our Process Specialists to develop solutions that use powerful methodologies like Accelerative Learning, Multiple Intelligences and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).
  • We are among a small group of training providers in Asia to win the Motorola Gold Award for Quality and Service.

Some Of Our People-Centred Practices

  • 5-day week with flexi-hours.
  • For short-duration sick leave, no medical certificate or other proof is required.
  • Various types of leave: eg Paternity, Community Service/Retreat and Study leave.
  • We decline work with certain industries and allow trainers to decline work on grounds of personal conscience.
  • Work-from-home option (on a case by case basis).
  • Office attire: smart casual, unless visiting clients.
  • Everyone on first-name basis.
  • Open-book policy: all finances are disclosed, including everyone's salaries and benefits (yes, including senior management's).

Who We Look For
The professional who fits well in our firm often has most of the following characteristics:

  • Is deeply committed to making a difference in this world by helping managers and organisations become more people-centred.
  • Enjoys working with corporations as well as NGOs.
  • Works hard to be a top-notch professional by competing with own self, not with colleagues.
  • Mixes easily with colleagues from different cultural backgrounds and is curious about similarities and differences in beliefs and values.
  • Is cheerful and happy most of the time.
  • Has a high energy level.

Some Complaints We Have Heard About Our Practices And Policies

  • Our practitioners sometimes have to travel on Saturdays or Sundays. Even though such travel is compensated with additional Annual Leave, it can be disruptive to personal weekend commitments.
  • Our business is driven by client demands and during crunch times the work-week might stretch to 60 hours or more, resulting in late nights or lost weekends. This probably happens a few weekends each quarter.
  • While we have a 40-hour work week policy (with very flexible hours), in reality most practitioners may have to put in 10-20 extra hours each week. This time goes towards their own preparations for a workshop, business development, meetings etc.
  • New hires sometimes have lots of ideas on how to change things, but many of these are deemed unsuitable by senior management. It can be frustrating. In the first 2-3 years of employment, practitioners are expected to experience our policies, practices and culture. They will also focus on building skills to produce good results with clients. With good results come increased influence (and, usually, a better appreciation of the why some policies/practices are what they are).
