Have you ever failed in your goals?

Have you given up on things that matter?

I may have a reason why this is happening and after reading this, you will want to act on it.

If you have failed before, my question to you is this “Are you committed to it?”

There are many times we want to do something, however, when times are difficult, our habits or weaknesses overcome our desire to do it. Wanting to do something may not be compelling enough to overcome our natural desires to be lazy. I have heard many times that people WANT to lose weight, WANT to lower their cholesterol, WANT to be more disciplined. But nothing sustainable happens.

If you belong to the majority of the population, most likely you will fail. Why? This is because we are simply NOT committed to getting results. What do I mean by commitment? Let me share with you more by asking some more questions:

Have you ever been absorbed by a task and were committed to finish a project by a deadline that you did not have your meals?

Have you ever seen a lady holding 2 jobs in the day and night simply because she is a widow and has 3 kids to feed?

In every one of the descriptions above, I have seen people really being committed to what they do. They are willing to give up short term gains, simply because they have committed themselves to achieve certain results. They know that there is a price to pay for everything. Hard work and discipline must follow through to get the results that they need. I’m not advocating that we should skip our meals, but I just want to highlight that there is a deep level of commitment to what we have set out minds to do.

Without commitment, you will fail. You will just WANT, but NEVER achieve. I’m sorry to be harsh, but this is the truth. I realised that most of my recent success in corporate training is because I was extremely committed while the first few years of my business was not eventful because I was not committed to myself, staff and my family.

If you are sick and tired of NOT getting the results you want, maybe its time to be committed? If so, what price will you pay for it?

Do leave your comments and your commitments down; I hope to hear from you.

Here are some photos of the recent Batch of Dare To Train participants. They wanted to learn how to be a GREAT Trainer infront of large crowds. We basically addressed all the important elements that Trainers needed to have.

Participants were taught techniques of how to generate training content (on any topic), create high energy in training, practice skills to speak to the crowd, how to get crowds to echo what they say and instantly get people to participate in group discussions.

The Trainers : Kenneth Kwan / Jason Ng

Kenneth Kwan’s high impact training and unique ability to get entire groups of people to change their behaviours quickly have resulted in peak performance levels and achievements in a short period of time. He advocates that the mindset is the first place to start, rather than typical skills training. This translates into better alignment of organizational values, team spirit, higher revenues and trust within participants. He has personally trained over 3511 participants so far. In addition, He was recently featured as a speaker in Learning and Development Summit 2009 for HR professionals and also got his article published in the Straits Times.

He is also a Certified Behavioural and Career Consultant and uses DISC profiling to create Cohesive Team Synergy, Sales Techniques, Value Alignment and Talent Management with companies. Kenneth has also achieved tremendous success in conducting Public and Private sessions for HR managers, Directors and members of the public in understanding human dynamics in Personality Profiling.

Jason Ng is a Family Life Educator / Trainer with Families For Tomorrow Services, a pro-family organisation conducting family education programmes at primary schools, secondary schools and junior colleges. His wealth of experience in parent child education has made him a well sought after speaker around the region in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Jason has conducted talks, trainings and workshops to thousands of parents, teachers and students on a wide range of topics including parent-child relationship management, character education, maximising of children’s potential, social and emotional learning for teenagers, multiple intelligences of children, anger management for children / teenagers, work-life balance and computer gaming addiction.

To share his passion in helping parents with the prevalent social concern of uncontrolled usage of the computers by children, Jason has been invited by Mediacorp Singapore to be the guest speaker for Singapore Parenting Congress 2009 recently on July 11th to 12th ( www.mediacorpradio.sg/spc09 ). He was also interviewed by “The Living Room” on 938LIVE to share his knowledge with concerned parents on this subject.

***Here’s what others have to say about it:***

“Before the “Dare To Train” training, I am zero in terms of training knowledge and skills. What “Dare To Train” has done is that it has provided me actionable & easy steps to conduct a professional training routine that allows me to instantly connect with my audience. With these skills, I will be able to use it to complement my Real Estate business as well as make an additional revenue source. Kenneth and Jason have shared selflessly and they practise what they preach.”
- Kevin Yeo, ERA Agent

“Having worked as lecturer at a polytechnic, I have been involved in training for many years. Kenneth and Jason have nonetheless been able to introduce new elements that have enriched me as a trainer. Their sharing of the templates in use will surely enhance my training ability.”
- John Ooi, Director, Touching Lives Pte Ltd

“This Program uses a totally different methodology in terms of delivering content as compared to other training institutes that I attended. It has provided me with complete confidence to provide training and workshops immediately. Kenneth and Jason have provided us with high level energy, skills and techniques to be a great trainer.”
- Francis Toh, Free Lance Trainer

“My experience from public speaking was from observation of other speakers until I took action to enroll for the “Dare To Train” course. I am pleasantly surprised by how simple it is to present effectively just by following a template. My perception that presentation is all about content is also changed because there is so much others factors that matter. I have been blessed by the training and I wish to thank the trainers Jason and Kenneth for sharing with me all trade secrets of an effective trainer. I am confident that with the skills set acquired, I can emerge to be a dynamic speaker.”
- Elvin Leong, Free Lance Trainer

I had a short discussion with a client just a few days ago. She was describing that people like to upgrade many things in their lives, especially their mobile phones, houses, cars, computers and even their watches! Don’t forget ladies upgrading their diamond rings too (my wife wanted me to write this)!

However, how many of us actually spend enough time and resources to upgrade our mindset?

We tend to focus on things that will not last, shouldn’t we focus on things that will Add Value to the way we think? I mean, our mindset is the very thing that is constantly with us, right?

I previously shared with my clients that I used to start off as a small time trainer, working very hard for just $30/hr (way below market rate for trainers). This was pretty bad, knowing that there were many assignments that only engaged me for 2 hours only!

Things started to changed when I realised that my mindset was preventing me to earn more money. I started to work very hard on learning how to deliver well and even paid thousands of dollars to attend Seminars. I wanted to learn and was hungry to be among the best. After some time, I remembered earning $1250 dollars after a 4 hour training session! Wow, what a big change from the previous salary that I earned! This completely changed my mindset and expanded my belief systems. My boundaries started changing again when I made over $6500 after another 4 hour training session. This completely helped me realised that the only person who was giving me limiting belief systems was myself!

How we look at things really matter in life. Without a strong mindset and God’s guidance, I will not be where I was today. I encourage you to constantly invest in yourself to upgrade your mindset. It definitely pays dividends and will bring you to higher ground! Onwards and Upwards.

There is a very useful Personal Development Website that I found to be very useful in helping me grow. I hope it will add value to you as well.

One of the secrets of conducting a good training is the ability to engage your audience through discussions. Constantly apply them and people will enjoy it! Kinestatic movements are always fun, so use them to create energy in your audience. I always believe that Great Training Sessions are all about engaging the audience in participating with you. Here are some photos to display what what was taught.

I need to see your hands!

Here are some testimonials I received:

The title was interesting and I know I will gain some knowledge and improve myself better. Body language and facial expression plays an important part in my both family life and working life. It will definitely benefit my whole family. Today’s seminar will be a role play to my only daughter who is still waiting for me to talk about the topic (at home). She has been SMS-ing me to come home faster and teach her. Well done and keep it up Kenneth.

I will like to thank Kenneth when he taught me how to introduce myself to people to let people have a good impression of me and also know how to boost my confidence through my posture. I feel that after this lesson, I am able to introduce myself well and have confidence in myself during a conservation. The way he teach is very interesting especially the class activities during lesson to let me understand the topic better.

I have learnt how to do the 60 seconds introduction interestingly. I like the way how Kenneth actually makes us remember his name. I will definitely try to use whatever he have taught us when I talk to my client. Thanks Kenneth.
