My secret sauce as a top trainer
It’s seldom that the content alone makes a program effective. Information on any topic is widely available on the web. Instead of simply providing information to business owners, sales reps, consultants, trainers, service entrepreneurs, and high-end freelancers, I make the training a personally impactful and relevant experience for each participant. I invoke their strengths and passions and channel their intrinsic motivations to help them improve. My deeper approach is the secret sauce that I add to all my programs.
Some of the methods I use to increase engagement include:
Accelerated Learning
I studied under Blair Singer & Harv Eker, avid proponents of this effective methodology
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
I’m internationally-certified as a Master Practitioner
Performance Coaching
I have been certified by the International Coach Federation (ICF)

Coach Leon
I’ve been a full-time Sales and Leadership Coach, and Workshop Facilitator since 2011. I have trained and consulted with a wide range of companies. My focus is on developing practical programs that inspire participants to perform better in their selling roles. I base my training upon over twenty years of actual sales and sales leadership experience.
I have extensive experience in sales as an account executive, sales manager, and business owner. I worked my way up from a sales associate for public market stalls and supermarkets and went on to succeed in different industries including real estate, franchising, information technology, and consulting. I set sales records and won awards in IBM (most PCs sold to Education sector), Kodak (earliest to hit territory target, Best Presenter), Drypers (quota achiever whilst maintaining best territory credit & collection record), and JDI (first rookie to win in car plan contest, Quota Buster Awardee).
As an entrepreneur, my most significant experience has been growing a start-up company from a single employee to over a hundred associates and subsequently selling this profitable service business after ten years of hands-on operations. I've also been a part-owner of a boutique marketing consultancy, a real estate development company, and a chain of food outlets.
I was an adjunct professor teaching Sales Management at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM), where I also earned my Masters degree in Entrepreneurship. As a professor, students gave me high satisfaction ratings and ranked me as one of the highest among my peers.
I honed my teaching skills through intensive training with some of the world’s best public speakers including corporate sales trainer Steve Schiffman, sales and leadership trainer Blair Singer, best-selling author and speaking coach Harv Eker, NLP trainer Barney Wee, speaking coach Jane Atkinson, NLP trainer James Leong, speaking coach Zoltan Hrotko, coaching mentor Peter Hawe, coaching mentor Leah Zveglich, Conversational Hypnosis and NLP expert Igor Ledochowski, and actor-director Larry Gillman.
