EXECUTIVE TRAINING
Kenneth Paul Tan is a highly rated executive trainer. Since 2000, he has trained thousands of political leaders, policy professionals, uniformed officers, and leaders in the non-profit and private sectors, both in Singapore and abroad. He has taught in programmes offered by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, INSEAD, and other institutions.
Tan has developed innovative methods, adapted from theatre techniques, literary and media analysis, as well as historical and biographical role play, to teach courses on leadership and communication.
Tune In To Leadership, first introduced in 2017 and taught in Singapore, France, and the UAE, is a signature element of Kenneth Paul Tan’s executive leadership programmes. While the analogy between leadership and conducting an orchestra may be familiar, this immersive session goes deeper. Participants engage directly with a live orchestra, exploring leadership through both analogical and experiential insights. As leaders must harmonize diverse talents to build resilient organizations, participants reflect on how conductors manage multi-talented teams to thrive amidst disruption. Unscripted dialogues between Tan, the conductor, and musicians reveal profound insights into leadership, collaboration, and communication..
