    Hi, my name is Daniel Ling.

    Thank God, I've just had another opportunity to train and coach some of the TOP heads in an MNC. You see- My job is to get you to thrive and be successful in your full-time jobs with some of the most crucial skills in the 21st century. I want to make passive impact to you and empower you to be the best in your professional work.

    3 most important skills (according to Forbes)in the 21st century:

    - Critical Thinking (solve problems with solutions)

    - Creativity (think outside the box)
    - Collaboration (working with others)
    All these, could be learned with the understanding of Design Thinking.

    I’m the author of Complete Design Thinking Guide for Successful Professionals and I’m part of a growing movement of successful professionals called Design Thinkers- who are transforming organisations with a unique way of problem-solving.

    We believe in a simple 5-step Design Thinking Action Plan and mindsets that will help YOU to transform YOUR organisation to solve human problems.

    Traditional problem-solving we learned in mainstream education is ill-equipped for the business world dealing with human-centric user problems. YOU become ineffective because YOU cannot create innovative solutions for YOUR organisation as they in turn lose out to more innovative and customer-focused competitors.

    WE reformat your Windows 3.1 to Apple iOS 10 to problem-solving- WE make sure YOU become effective for your organisation and impress YOUR boss.

    Hundreds of professionals from Singapore government agencies such as Mindef, ICA and NAVY and schools such as Millennia Institute, RP and NUS, top MNCs such as Fuji Xerox, British American Tobacco and DBS have attended my course.

    Here's what you'll discover:

    Secret #1 - How to Fully HANDS-ON Understand the 5 Step Design Thinking Action Plan Without Academic Jargons

    Secret #2 - How to BE A PRO with simple Design Thinking Activities and Templates (Even if You are Neither Creative nor Innovative)

    Secret #3 - How to DEBUNK Design Thinking from Waterfall, 6 Sigma or Agile Without Throwing Away What You Already Know!
