1) Smiling Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Transforming Conflict Into Opportunity
Asians deal with conflicts very differently from Westerners: Face saving, Constant conflict avoidance, ‘Ninja’ attacks, Defensiveness, Stone-Walling, etc.
How can we transform conflicts into opportunities? Why do conflicts escalate so quickly from problem-solving to intractable conflicts? How do we deal with the different ‘dragons’ that have prevented us from fighting fair? How do we manage our emotions during conflict? How can focusing on relationship help prevent and de-escalate conflict?
Learn more from Dr John Ng, one of Asia’s thought-leaders and conflict management experts in conflict management and Author of ‘Smiling Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ and his team as they take you into this peace-making journey. Discover your own conflict styles from the first Asian-based COSPI (COnflict Style Preference Indicator), an online self-assessment instrument. They will share practical ways to transform conflict into opportunity.

2) Managing Your Energy not Your Time…Being and Becoming More Productive at Work
Do you feel exhausted at work?
Do you find that people are less engaged in their work?
Do you find that the pressure to perform is becoming greater and more difficult to manage?
Do you find challenges in time management?
Do you find it difficult between balancing work and family life?
Most people are thinking of ‘time Management’ when the key should be ‘energy management’. When you have more energy, you have more time, you do things faster, you are more efficient and more effective. In this workshop, you will appreciate the different types of energy (physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual) and how to tap on them. You will learn practical tips to increase your energy and therefore become more productive in your work.

Based on research by Gallup Study, John Gottman’s and Dan Siegel’s research, this workshop will equip you with useful frameworks and actionable solutions to help participants to engage their staff so that they can become more productive and effective.
