LearningLinks Opens New Markets in Asia - April 2007

LearningLinks President, John Haime, visited four countries in Asia in April 2007 to introduce our popular program Mastering the Game: Leadership Effectiveness at Work, In Life and In Golf.  LearningLinks is partnering with leading HR Consulting Company, The Hay Group (Philadelphia), to bring a unique approach to Emotional Intelligence in performance and leadership to Asia.  John delivered three one-day workshops and a number of short presentations in Beijing, China, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Singapore and Bangkok, Thailand.

Great feedback and interest was generated from the presentations.  A few examples:

Soo Kam Tatt, from Hypertherm, found the workshop in Singapore beneficial:

'The practice of management has always been a combination of science and art,' he says. 'The science part is thoroughly taught in college, sought after and elaborated in practice, while the art part, most of the time, is left to common sense, which can be disastrous in today's competitive environment. This workshop showed a dimension in the art of management supported by a spectrum of competencies that could be developed and/or encouraged to enhance leadership effectiveness in management.'  

Mun Kwok Kin, chief human resource officer at Jurong International, believes the golf element of the workshop helped him:

'The programme gave me a good insight on how we can perform well under pressure by understanding our emotions, through self-awareness and being able

to manage our expectations.  Managing and leading people are similar to playing golf. We need to manage our expectations and emotions and work together with our team members.'

Essilor's Stephen Shawler adds:

'Golf is the game of life and if you play golf, you'll understand emotional intelligence, self-awareness and self-management, which are so important in the execution of leadership.'
