Testimonials
Jasmin Ng
Senior Director Human Resources
UTAC Headquarters Pte Ltd
We engaged Daniel to deliver two runs of a 2.5 days’ program for 20 of our emerging leaders. His tailored and engaging approach encouraged a positive shift in their mindsets and behaviours.
He also offered valuable insights into identifying leaders ready for their next opportunity, and those requiring more time in their current role.
These insights prompted us to adjust our approach to these leaders. Without a doubt, I would collaborate with him again in the future.

Beam Suntory was fortunate to invite Daniel for a 1.5 hour workshop themed as “From Managers to Leaders” for 21 People Managers across the region.

Often times, leadership training focuses on helping (existing) leaders to further develop, but we must not neglect the (current) independent contributors whom one day will be the leader of tomorrow.
Throughout the 5 fortnight sessions with the author of “First Time Leadership” book by Daniel Lee, I learnt that leadership is about bringing others to success, and we should also have our own blend of leadership when we lead. Do reach out to him.

Testimonials
Joan Koh
SVP HR, Nielsen IQ
I invited Daniel to our Regional Leadership Programme (RLP) Summit in Kuala Lumpur on 9th July 2024, because of the application of his research insights.
He enabled our participants to be aware of key areas as they transition from leading single teams, to leading multiple teams in entire business units. Overall, his segment was very insightful and engaging, and our participants truly benefited from it.
The feedback also revealed a desire by our participants to know more, and provided a direction for us to focus on in their further development.
I highly recommend engaging Daniel if you have leaders transitioning to leading multiple teams.

CHENG Chia Lea,
Audit Manager
Nexia Singapore PAC
We engaged Daniel to run two workshops on creativity. I was initially concerned with how the participants would welcome an in-person workshop as it had been three years since we had last ran one. My fears were unfounded. His expertise in structured creativity and in engaging the participants made the workshops a transformative experience. Daniel was able to masterfully guide us through a journey of unlocking our creative potential, equipping us with fresh perspectives much needed in our Audit industry. The participants, including myself, were not only inspired but also amazed by the practical tools and techniques shared that could result in implementable ideas. This led to a renewed enthusiasm and innovative ideas buzzing among the participants.

Transformational leadership
Transformation of an organization does not take place on day 1, but is in full effect by day 365. That means to be a transformational leader, one has to an effective (transactional) leader in the day-to-day.
This programme reveals the essential links between transactional and transformational leadership, and why to be transformational, leaders have to be transactional; and not in the way that they think transactional leadership is.
Contact Daniel if you want your teams to be Transformational with the 4Is framework.

Crisis leadership
A crisis management plan may be enough to get your organization through a crisis, however it could well be insufficient when it comes to public scrutiny, managing employees during the crisis in an ethical manner according to your organisation values, and giving senior leaders the framework to lead rather than firefight.
That is where a crisis leadership plan is needed instead, and the what, why, when, where, who, and how are covered through a 10 elements framework.
Contact Daniel if you want your teams to be competent in leading during any crisis with the 10 elements framework.
