David Wee's special talent is to have a deeply concrete vision and sense of the future, and then -- somehow - be able to bring together a wide variety of people, all impressive in their own way, who can help shed light of the manifold aspects of what's coming our way.
David Caploe, President & CEO, ACALAHA, Founder, Minerva School PhD Program in Critical Thinking

David is both a realist and a visionary. He makes Business Alliance simple to understand and communicate them effectively to his peers. The success is evident in many seminars and conferences he had organized over the year.
Andrew Chow, Founder & Visionary, IdeaMart

Integrity, Truth, Committment and Dedication are the hallmarks of Mr. David Wee. In just two meetings, Mr. David Wee has demonstrated with intensity and purpose, his committment to his family, friends and his work. He is dedicated and goes the extra mile to assist everyone and transmit all his knowledge to anyone who shows interest. I feel blessed knowing him and would recommend everyone to get to know him as you only stand to gain from his friendship.
Rajan Ramchandani, Thera Coach – EFT Practitioner, DNA UNITED

David Wee strikes me as a passionate individual, a visionary, a true leader and a trainer's mentor. Willingly and unselfishly, he shares his insights and words of wisdom to his friends and networks.
Jeno Gocho, Pres & CEO, Asian American Center for Career Coaching, Founder/Coach/Mentor, NEXTCHANCE.ORG (Holistic Coaching & Mentoring)

David is a man of integrity and action, he is always willing to go out of his way assist his clients and colleagues and always gives more than is expected.

David is a great people-person; he creates situations for things to happen, and for people to interact. ASB is a testament to his consummate skills and his sincerity in wanting to create positive connectivity for people.
Johnny Ong, Author, Speaker and Trainer

I've always found that the best remedy for gloom is action. David is an exceptional example of that. His constant flow of ideas, activities, get-together, etc. shows that one should never stop. Let's face it, the only way to move toward your goal is what you do every day. I'm glad we have someone like David to remind us of that.

Leaders under Fire


What most firms want: FRESH IDEAS!

Where: RELC International Hotel - 30 Orange Grove Road, Singapore
When: Tue, 20 April 2010, 9.40am to 12.40pm. Registration, welcome drink and networking starts at 9am!



Companies are keen to innovate but don’t know where to begin. Most companies tend to be over-reliant on a small number of customers or products. They are so busy selling their existing products to existing customers that innovation takes a seat. Many are intending to explore new ways of doing business. But how?

The truth is that no one factor makes a company admirable. But if you were forced to pick the one that makes the most difference, you'd pick leadership.

Looking at today’s news on challenges to the corporate world, it would be fair to say that in the next 50 years; only 15 of the best 25 companies will still be around. What then are the real challenges of the 21st century economy?

To meet the challenges of the 21st century economy, it is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.
