WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT G K LIM’S TRAINING SESSIONS

Thank you again for doing a wonderful job with our sales team. We appreciate it very much. As Rob and I mentioned to you in our Saturday lunch meeting, our sales channels see themselves as being professional. In other regions of the world we found that the survey feedback ranged from neutral to negative. In your case, the response was much more positive than we experienced in other parts of the world, and with other trainers. Of the 60 delegates that attended, only 35 delegates completed the survey before leaving the meetings. The breakout for your section is as follows: Fair – 9; Good – 24; Excellent – 2. In summary, 26 out of 35 thought the program was good to excellent. Thank you for doing your part. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and hope the opportunity presents itself again. You are a true professional. -- Kevin Gillick, Datacard Group, West Minnetonka, MN

“GK Lim is one of the best persuasion psychologists in Asia. He is a much sought after trainer in Malaysia and neighboring countries as he uses his knowledge and experience accumulated over 3 decades in order to give the best to his clients. He was invited to SriLanka, my native country, to conduct his flagship training programs by SriLankan event organizers after they had heard of his success in Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, China, India, Maldives, and UAE. His success can be also attributed to his very own presentation style and mastery of language which had been commended by many of his contemporaries worldwide -- Jayadeva de Silva, HumanTalents Unlimited.

I find his presentations very well structured, full of practical/down to earth ideas and easy to understand. He shares his experience freely and often gets excellent evaluations from course participants. In fact, when GK conducted his training for my company's sales & marketing team, his experience and ideas were well received by the participants. -- Toh Siew Pat, Head of HR & Admin., SWM Environment Sdn Bhd

GK Lim specializes in sales, negotiation & leadership training programs. His programs are lively, effective and humorous. You will never be bored in his session and you will get valuable takeaways. Recommend to anyone looking to do such topics of training. -- Lily C.L. Lau, Culture Synergy Cultivator, Certified Trainer, Speaker, Principal Consultant, Culture Dynamics

We received very favourable feedback from the delegates' appraisal of the Conference and I am pleased to inform you that your individual rating, as a speaker for your presentation on "Relationship Between Managers and Talented Employees" is "Excellent" We have no doubt that your participation had contributed to the success of the Conference. -- Irene Lum, Conference Development Manager, Asia Business Forum

The response to this seminar has been very positive by both the foreign and Thai participants. This is indeed a worthy contribution to the English-speaking persons in Bangkok – Leslie Weed-Fonner, Coordinator, Community Services of Bangkok

We are very pleased to have you lead the seminar "Winning Strategies For That Competitive Edge" to our sales personnel. The participants thought the program was very educational, enlightening and interesting and particularly, the newcomers to the Company reported that the seminar was an eye-opener and you were able to furnish them with the 'edge' to improve their job performance. We extend to you our thanks and appreciation. -- Koh Chee Kean, GM, Wearne Brothers (1983) Sdn Bhd

Thank you very much for your participation in the recent Komag Career Fair. You have given a very impressive performance and the audience found your talk interesting and motivating. I found that you are able to reach out and build a good rapport with the audience instantaneously and had them drawn to you, paying close attention throughout your talk. Although you are an external person to Komag, you are quick to understand the purpose and objective of the Career Fair. You aligned your talk to the theme of the fair "Creating Your Future" very well. Your talk was a good warming-up to the presentation on Career Pathing, a matter viewed and taken seriously by all Komag employees. – K K Lim, General Manager (KM 1 -Operations) Komag USA (M) Sdn Bhd

We have engaged Mr G K Lim to hold a motivational course, “Winning Is Easier Than Failing.” We all agreed that Mr Lim is able to convey messages across the participants in a simple and easily understandable way. He managed to built up a good rapport across the audience and is very responsive to all the questions raised during the session. We are convinced that the course is beneficial to our company. -- C A OOI, GM, Chemopharm Sdn. Bhd.

I have had the honour and privilege of sharing the seminar platform with many of the world's greatest speakers including Bob Proctor, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Stuart Wilde, Dottie Walters and others. I count Mr. G.K. Lim amongst this group and I am doubly blessed to call him friend. I have personally done three seminars with Mr. G.K. Lim and found him absolute world class. It is very important to me when I do seminars in different countries to work with the countries' best in matters of "Success, “The mind,” and “Sales,” and Mr. Lim has proved to be fantastic. He has all of the international qualities whilst still being able to communicate with his fellow Asians from newcomers to C.E.O’s. Any company would find their sales and productivity greatly increased after experiencing G.K. Lim. -- Michele Blood http://www.musivation.com, La Jolla, CA

Thank you and congratulations on a great presentation!! Your presentation on "How to Thrive on Stress" were inspiring, humorous and most important of all informative. It touched home base and our hearts. We must really comment on your ability to handle crowds of all levels. Feedbacks from our directors, senior managers and middle management staff were more than impressive. You helped them to accept your message rather than driving home the point. Making it personal for them too, made the topic so refreshing. -- Fong Muntoh, Assistant Human Resource Manager Reliance Pacific Berhad

Trainer is excellent. Good team work. Good participation. Relates well to audience. Pace is quick -- A Raj, Executive, Assoc. Motor Industries

I have known G K Lim since 2003, during the early days of HRD Gateway, a 40,000-member international NGO dedicated to excellence in HRD/HRM. We would often discuss how HRD Gateway could grow and how Oak Training could help HRD Gateway members. GK contributed articles of interest to trainers and HR specialists, and these were published the Oak Training site. G K Lim has spent over three decades in the training profession, as a training specialist in the area of sales, negotiation, managerial leadership and stress management. I highly recommend him to those in need of services that he provides. An inspirational talent that adds so much value to everything that he gets involved with. -- Des Fitzgerald, Managing Director at Oak Training Ltd http://www.oaktraining.com/

“Lively presentations. Useful tricks and methods with real life examples. Experienced presenter. This is the type of presenter who is favoured, rather than those PhD holders with vague knowledge who do not accept comments / ideas / opinion from others. Frankly, this is high rated workshop in my opinion.”

“Mr G K Lim turned this “boring topic” into an interesting workshop. Good job!” “Good and interesting workshop! GK is an experienced facilitator. “ “Useful for communication skills, practical methods with example are given. Excellent. Very practical.”

14

“Easy to understand, with interesting examples.” “The program is practical and it’s applicable in all situations whether we are in product sales or education

business. The sales approaches, closing techniques and ways to handling objections shared by the facilitator are very helpful and beneficial. What we need to do is to adapt them into the education industry.”

“Can apply the principles learnt in the workplace and personal life.” “Informative workshop, good interaction, met objectives.”
