Corporate Development Testimonials

"Dear Dominic, You recently presented a half-day course on Negotiation Skills as part of a Management program run by the Urban Development Institute of NSW.  The participants are drawn from the development industry where negotiation is a critical aspect in obtaining approvals.  At the conclusion of the day attendees completed an assessment sheet to evaluate performance of presenters.

 

I am writing to congratulate you on your presentation, as you were overwhelming[ly] rated as excellent by the participants.  As course coordinator, I rate your presentation as one of the best we have had in the three years the course has been operating.  This high rating is due to the quality of the course content, the pace at which it is delivered and your undoubted enthusiasm for the subject.  Thank you again and I look forward to working with you on other courses.",  Kevin Alker, Course Coordinator, UDIA Training Program, May 2008.

Personal & Professional Development

"I invited Dominic Siow to deliver a talk on 'Psychology of Winning' to children of our members of Royal Sungei Ujong Club, Seremban.  Having previously heard Dominic's presentation, I had this confidence that he will deliver and be an inspiration to our children as they are always distracted from their ultimate goal in life.  I was eager for our youth to be imparted with his experience and motivation to live their full potential.  His talk was effective, insightful and gave the audience (which included parents) food for thought on how to achieve not just success, but fulfilment in one's life.  I look forward to future opportunities from Dominic to create further value for our club and community."  David Wee, Vice President, RSUC, 8th Jan 2008.
