About the Speaker: Veronica Ong
Veronica Ong, a nurse manager turned entrepreneur, founder of Rev 22 Pte Ltd. She had worked in various hospitals and managed an elderly and day rehabilitation centre with The Salvation Army. In 2000, she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and later, Grave’s Disease (an over-active immune problem where her body is not able to balance her thyroxin). Doctors recommended she undergo surgery or radio-active iodine to destroy part of the thyroid gland. At that point she knew that she had to take control of her health as the path proposed by modern medicine is invasive! She strongly believes that we are created with very powerful immune system to heal our body naturally. Since then she had explored alternative and complementary solutions. After 10 years of researching, she chanced upon a scientific sleep system that has helped balance her immune system within months and treated her Grave’s disease naturally without medication. Her clinical report showed complete recovery with no relapse.
She has 3 grown up children who are healthy, independent and perform well in schools. She has shared the beneficial effect of sleep in relation to intelligence and performance at various educational institutions, hospitals, community centres and companies. She has included excellent coverage on the principal topics such as immune system, sleep disorders and pain management.
Last year, she was an Extraordinary Woman Award 2012 finalist recognised by the International Women Federation of Commerce and Industry (IWFCIS) for her contributions to business and the community. Her latest achievement was being selected as the Global Women’s Summit Outstanding Leadership Award for being outstanding in balancing the many areas of her life as a daughter, mother, wife, employee and currently a lady boss.

presenting, a
special segment:
"Managing
Conflicts"
Synopsis
Conflict......
This is a word that most will try to avoid. Yet, do you know of any successful individual that rose to the top of the corporate ladder, and did not face a single conflict in his/her career & personal journey?
Did they try to avoid conflicts at all costs?
They did not. Instead, they faced the conflicts directly. And because they took control of the situation, they succeeded in reaching a win-win situation. In fact, I do know one successful individual.
Our club coach, Katherine Tan, faced conflicts on a daily basis. After being a business owner of a thriving beauty salon business of more than a decade, she transformed from a professional beautician to a highly sought after consultant and mentor today.
Katherine has been Managing Conflicts at a very young age. In addition, being an author of 2 books: "Joyful Sacrifices to Success" and Co-author of Joy of Marriage", she has held various senior leadership roles in non-profit organisations, notably her roles as Mentor, Advisor, Sponsor and Coach of non-profit organisations, where managing volunteers is an art. It is an art, as you cannot "fire" your volunteers. Financial reward is not an option, since it is a non-profit organisation.
So what is her secret?
Katherine will be presenting a short education segment about managing conflicts, where you will learn tips to increase your understanding of conflicts, and in turn, assisting you to becoming a more successful and happier you!

What his Clients
have said:
Interview Skills
Coen
is a very dedicated and knowledgeable trainer who commits himself to
ensure that his student masters all the necessary interview skills.
He pays careful attention to your intonation, answering technique and
even your appearance. I am glad to have him as my trainer. If you
want to ace your interview, get Coen’s help!
-
Chia Min Hua, Hwa Chong Junior College
I
have been accepted to Cornell University to study Electrical
Engineering on the DSTA Scholarship. I would just like to take this
opportunity to thank you again for all the advice and tips you gave
me. I sincerely feel that I would not have performed as I did during
the scholarship's final board interview if not for that interview
skills workshop.
-
Caroline Tan, Victoria Junior College
The
workshop would not have been successful without the mentorship of
Coen. A very experienced trainer, Coen was very spot-on when it comes
to identifying the weaknesses of each participant or the areas that
each individual needs to improve on. He provided very insightful
remarks and useful tips that apply specifically to each participant,
at the same time suggesting very novel yet straightforward ways of
improvement that each of us can adopt. His comments were always
succinct and straight to the point, aiming directly at the weak areas
that are seemingly obvious yet difficult to identify by the
participants themselves. In addition, Coen demonstrated an apparent
and genuine willingness to help, offering to spend extra time with
those who still lack confidence to undertake more practices.
-
Phung Phuong Ha, Hwa Chong Junior College
Coen
is an extremely eloquent and dynamic speaker who keeps you up on your
feet every minute, anticipating what’s going to happen next. He
throws in little surprises along the way and there really isn’t a
dull or boring moment during the workshop. Unlike the conventional
‘speaker talks-we listen’ kind of presentation, rather, it’s an
interactive session that engages everyone and allows us to learn as
much as we can. When it comes to answering interview questions, he
shows you the approaches and answers that make you stand out from the
crowd. Most importantly, I think it’s his passion for speaking that
really impresses us and motivates us to speak well.
-
Goh Mei Hui, Hwa Chong Junior College
The
interview skills workshop by Coen is one that is both
enriching and informative. Not only does it builds
our confidence, it imparts both skills and
techniques that are relevant and effective, putting us in
good stead for our future interviews. Helpful and
charismatic, Coen Tan paced the session well and aided us
greatly in our learning as a whole. This is indeed one
workshop to be attended!
-
Choo Yi Jie, Hwa Chong Junior College
Presentation Skills
Hello
Coen, I really enjoyed being in your group for the workshop. You
have taught me a lot. One thing that I will not forget, your
encouraging words, have motivated me to go further. I have attended
quite a number of workshops, but you’re a different trainer ; one
who have made a spark in me. I’m sure you’ll be able to do that
on others’ lives too. Thank you for being such an awesome trainer!
-
Tan Jia Hui, Henderson Secondary School
I
was impressed with Coen’s energy and passion. He was very
encouraging and speaks very well. His training was really an eye
opener. It was more than what I had expected and Coen taught us a
lot. Almost all of us are first time public speakers and I can sense
his eagerness to help us improve. He was encouraging, down to earth
and knows how to go down to our level while imparting his skills.
-
Ryan Tan, Managing Director, Cornerstone Career Connections Pte Ltd
Thank
you Coen! Whenever you teach us, there’s a lot of energy coming
from you! I have a dream now. That when I grow up, I want to be just
like you! Making kids like me feel very important in life. Whenever
you teach us, confidence builds up in me and it makes me feel like
there's no limit in what I can or cannot do. Thank you for making me
realize that there's more than to study. It’s for our future, to
make our dreams come true. Even if I don't get what I want in the
future, I will always remember what you said.
-
Mohd Ridhwan, Balestier Hill Secondary School
Dear
Coen, thank you for all your help and advice for my Speech
Competition. In the midst of my tight schedule, I found the time to
write my script and rehearse it a few times. I gave myself no excuse
to fail. When my turn finally came to speak, I set myself to be less
conscious of my performance, and did not falter even when I made a
mistake. I took your advice and inserted some humor into my speech,
as well as visuals to connect with the audience. Eventually I
clinched the 2nd Runner Up position. Thank you for nominating me for
the competition and believing in me even after I stumbled. It was
for me an invaluable and long lost learning opportunity, and indeed,
I left with renewed confidence.
-
Asher Chee, 3rd
Year Singapore Polytechnic Student and Participant in IBM-Singapore
Polytechnic Speech Challenge
Coen
is a speaker who is able to engage and energizes his audience at the
word, “GO!” Unlike speakers who take time to warm up to the
audience, Coen challenges them with inspirational quotes and
thought-provoking questions that make them sit up and listen to him
from start to finish. By sharing his experiences and soliciting
responses from the audience, Coen enriched his training by including
the inputs from audience who have similar experiences. Taken as a
package, Coen creates excitement in his content delivery and
interactivity.
Most
of the audience had engineering background and were more familiar
with technical language. What they appreciated most after Coen’s
training was the awareness that complex systems and processes can be
better described using simple techniques. They simplify the
technicalities and mechanics into top-of-mind experience of everyday
life.
-
Woon Chee Yen, Organizing Chairperson for “Speechcraft” Workshop
for DSTA Engineers
The
maestro was in town, and he made me his protégé. Coen has a
natural flair in helping people to find and tap on the
eloquence that they may already have all along. Just 2 sessions
into the speech workshop he is conducting, I'm already seeing
glimpses of the best in myself.
-
Jane Yeo, Civil Engineer
Coen
is truly a master of public speaking. His willingness to share what
he knows reflects his amazing personality of being generous. It
is remarkable the way he conducted the workshop such that the
audience is still so energetic and attentive even at the late hours
at night. I hope for a chance to learn from him soon.
