At the start of the two-day Presentations Alive! training, she introduced herself almost apologetically: “I’m from Finance. I don’t usually make presentations.” What followed wasn’t a lack of ability – it was fear. She wasn’t comfortable expressing herself because it wasn’t routine. She was afraid of making mistakes, afraid of other people’s opinions, and afraid of being...
In a recent round of key account meetings, one of our team members shared how structured client engagements have evolved beyond routine check-ins. By bringing consolidated insights – NPS (Net Promoter Score) trends, programme runs, and cross-function participation – each conversation became a strategic review rather than an operational update. What stood out in these...
The more tightly work is controlled, the less people feel inclined to contribute beyond what is required. For decades, we’ve rewarded the “Command and Control” model – which is why after the pandemic, many organisations required their employees to return to the office. However, excessive control usually results in unintended consequences: The Shift: From Correction...
From time to time, we are asked how we ensure consistency across our facilitators. It is a fair question. When clients invest in a programme, they are not just buying content. They are buying a standard of delivery — and the assurance that whoever walks into the room, whether in Singapore, Warsaw, or Doha, will...
It wasn’t just that participants responded well to the session. They began to see a model they could adopt. During one Presentations Alive!™ session, a participant wrote: “I wanna be like him one day.” It was a simple line — but it pointed to something deeper. Not admiration for delivery flair, but recognition of a...
The Compact Slides & One-Pagers™ programme was initially scheduled to run just four times with one of our clients last year. By year’s end, that number had doubled to eight. What drove this expansion was not promotion — but pull from the business. The programme addressed a persistent, everyday challenge: cluttered slides and presentations that...
During a programme, a participant from an Oil & Gas company faced an unexpected challenge. Shortly before the lunch break, he shared with the class that a colleague had to take emergency leave. With little notice, he was asked to step in and present on behalf of his teammate — the client being none other...
We are proud that People Potential won three awards last year at the HR Vendors of the Year Awards: Gold for Best Management Training Provider (Singapore), Silver for Local Hero (Malaysia), and another Silver for Leader of the Year (Malaysia). This triple recognition is a testament to our team’s dedication to excellence in L&D and commitment to...
Celebrating another year of growth and connection at our annual dinner! Our team took time out to share a festive evening, capturing the energy and passion that fuel our work with clients.
A routine client meeting, aimed at scheduling training dates, unexpectedly became a strategic inflection point for the client and our team. As a slide outlining “Business Presentations in Your Organisation” was presented, the client’s interest ignited. They revealed plans for similar training tracks in their strategy for 2025-2026. Intrigued, they asked us to align our...
