Q&A Interview

How did you start this business, what’s the story?

The turning point came in 2003 when I was suddenly left with two small children with just the clothes on our backs with no one to turn to except an uncertain future. It was after years weighing the options of staying put in a traumatic marriage or rebuilding the future of my kids and mine.

Instead of being a victim, I decided to start the gruelling journey to pursue my passion in developing and inspiring people. Many out there would do with a little push or a helping hand to get up after a bad fall. While on a mission to heal myself and my young children, I was enamoured with the desire to improve the future of the downtrodden and the weak, the voiceless and those at the pit bottom.

Thus I began the path of reaching out to the the underprivileged, youths and indigenous groups to create awareness on the power of the brain through coaching and transformational training programmes. In order to be current and relevant, we continue with research and developing transformational course syllabus.

We strive to cater to the needs of people in under-developed and developing nations. Always a step ahead, I worked with international research bodies and professional bodies to provide support in terms of psychometrics diagnostics test and course accreditation.

What is the biggest challenge in your business?

Financing activities in research and developing course syllabus to deliver online courses on a mobile application and to finance coaching activities to the low income group.

During the early stage, how was it like to self-finance every aspect of your business?

Very challenging, surviving on basic needs, however, managed to send both children off to college and university. Now they have both graduated, working and on their own. Now it’s to focus on the Vision to Trailblazers Transformation Throughout Nations Across All Divides.

What do you see your business in 3 years’ time?

  1. Secured at least five partnerships to provide online platform and marketing online courses in 5 developing countries including Malaysia.

Your Story With Us - Trailblazers Leadership Global Academy

I hope to leave behind a leaving legacy for the young generation to helm future transformational programmes among the low income group. This is hoped to inspire many other people to overcome the battle with their fears and scars, and rise up above their situations to improve their future. I plan to write my 4th book concerning transformational leadership for people across all divides.
