“The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.”
– Ken Blanchard
Are you
- Going through a period of unprecedented change?
- Struggling to engage and inspire a jaded team
- Finding it hard to attract and retain the best talent
- Needing to elevate the productivity levels of your team during a time when you need them to do even more with less
Research has shown that only 31% of staff in the average organization is engaged. Did you know that an engaged worker outperforms a satisfied worker by 38% (this means this worker gets the job done by Thursday morning what it would take all week for the satisfied version to do)? And that an inspired worker outperforms the satisfied worker by 138%?
The very best development you can make in your people is to invest in the development of their emotional competencies.
Our keynotes and short courses are designed to inspire your people to develop the self-awareness, optimism, motivation and courage to be accountable and take the constructive action required to drive their personal agenda forward in line with the direction your organization is taking.

Testimonials
“We engaged Dominic Siow in 2014 to bring awareness and training in Emotional Intelligence to our organisation of 50 plus lawyers and staff. Dominic worked with our firm over 12 months delivering separate sessions on EI for a number of groups within our firm. In addition to this, Dominic carried out an Emotional Capital Report 360 on our Partners. Despite initial reservations by some staff, largely because of a fear of the unknown, the feedback we got across all sessions was overwhelmingly positive.
In this new age of information overload, exponential advances in technology and the resulting greater demands on people, it is vital for an organisation to engage with its people on different levels. Dominic brought new thinking to our firm in terms of how to handle different personality types, deal with conflict and ultimately work more effectively as a team.
What I personally like about Dominic is his extraordinary patience and flexibility in dealing with people. He has helped our firm grow and we are grateful.”
Leon Loganathan, Partner, Ward Keller, Australia
“Having read and attended many theory based courses across the years on organisational behavior, time management, and project management it was great to evolve this into a course based on mindfulness.
Dominic leads the charge with conviction & lays himself bare with personal reflections.
Dominic is a game changer for any organisation looking for the X-Factor in motivating & getting an individual or team to think differently about their role in an organisation.”
National Business Manager, Multi-channel Sales, Ferrero
