"Ask the right questions and the answers will always reveal themselves"

Oprah Winfrey


As leaders, we often look for answers and solutions. What if, instead, we asked better questions? What if we asked ourselves and our team questions that comfortably guide our brain towards both critical and creative solutions? What happens when we do all this? Problem solving is easier, faster, and you have solutions you might never have thought of.


Join us for a half-day, fun-filled yet insightful workshop as Jeff Tan shares the secrets of Instant Problem Solving and Fearless Decision Making.


What's the secret? Use a checklist to think and solve problems! And not just any checklist, it's his Instant Problem Solving Checklist© that guides you so that you think critically and creatively to solve problems.


"I do not fix problems. I fix my thinking. Then problems fix themselves"

Louise Hay

Session Outline

Part 1: Discover your problem-solving and decision-making style.


Do you usually look for the one best solution to solve a problem, and then struggle to decide if this is the right solution? Or do you naturally think of several ideas and then struggle as you have too many solutions? Convergent thinkers are those who look for just one solution supported completely by facts, and divergent thinkers are those who look for ideas to create choices.


Which are you? And which type of thinker is better? Come to the workshop and find out!


Then, we'll identify the specific fears that prevent you from making fearless decisions, and how to reduce these fears. You'll never completely get rid of fear, but you can certainly reduce your stress levels so that decision making is far easier, and even enjoyable!


Part 2: How to use the Instant Problem Solving Checklist©

There are just five steps in this checklist when we need to instantly tell others our point of view, or offer a solution to a problem.

Who should attend?

Those of you who struggle to solve problems and make fearless decisions in the workplace, regardless if you're a junior manager or a senior leader. What you'll leave with is a great tool, the Instant Problem Solving Checklist©, to immediately use.

    Jeff Tan

    I’m Jeff from sunny Singapore and I’ve called Shanghai home for the last 13 years. I have a very deep interest in all things related to communications, leadership, influence, and especially how the brain works. This naturally led me to Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnosis, and of course, Neuroscience.
