In the 2,500-year-old book, the Art of War, military strategist Sun Tzu writes: "Invincibility lies in one’s own hands but the enemy’s vulnerability is of his own making."

In today’s context, this means we have a choice over whether to be successful or not, and thereby have control over whether to succeed or fail. This shall be the theme of this one-day enlightening and entertaining seminar cum interactive, fun-filled workshop, whereby author and internationally-acclaimed speaker KHOO KHENG-HOR will show the delegates how to apply certain key principles from the Art of War to come up with strategies which are necessary for acquiring the competitive edge to become winners. Even if they are already winners, it is still crucial that they do not lapse into complacency but must yet work harder to ensure their winning streak.

Objective

By the end of this seminar/workshop, the delegates will develop and/or enhance the "winner’s mindset" to give them the competitive edge, and improve their skill in handling people and situations.

Topic is very interesting, especially how it is still relevant to modern industry even though the book was written a long time ago. A very animated and dynamic trainer, it was a pleasure to meet him and hear about his experiences. The best part of the course is listening to his personal experiences and sharing that ties in with the learning.

Khoo Kheng-Hor's Profile

Khoo Kheng-Hor 'hung up his sword' in 1999 when he was 43 years old, to quit the corporate world for a carefree life in the mountain, with his wife, Judy, and Bandit (a Yorkshire terrier). There, he concentrates on his writing. He has published 27 business and management books (most of which are based on the 500 BC Sun Tzu's Art of War), two Christian books, and four novels, two of which, Taikor and Sifu, were nominated for the 2006 and 2011 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

After Judy was called home by the Lord in 2007, followed by Bandit in 2010, Khoo, being a sought-after speaker on Sun Tzu's Art of War in contemporary business and management at corporate in-house seminars and conferences, still travels some five to 10 days each month throughout the region to 'suntzunize' his audience.

As a consultant/trainer to the Singapore Police Force since 1995, he was conferred the rank of a honorary Assistant Superintendent of Police in 1997, and promoted to Deputy Superintendent in 2009
