  • Simon Yio, the former Managing Director of a Geospatial Technology company and current Board Director and Chief Operating Officer at a leading real estate firm in Singapore, is poised to make a major impact in the education sector. With almost 20 years of experience in training and a successful history of creating high-performance programs for thousands of real estate professionals and leaders, Simon is now dedicated to shaping the future leaders through education.

    Simon, who is renowned for his dedication to creating and delivering effective training materials, is co-founding Mindsphere Singapore ("Mindsphere.sg") alongside Christine Chua. Christine, a Talent Development professional and adjunct lecturer, began teaching adolescents at the age of 17. "Simon and I recognize the transformative power of strong communication skills and are committed to bridging learning gaps through the skills-building programmes we designed", Christine said.

    Mindsphere.sg, a leading training provider, is committed to enhancing communication skills in children, youths, and professionals. Their flagship program, the Public Speaking Workshops, caters to youths aged 11 to 16 and offers three progressive levels ranging from beginner to advanced. Each level features a thoughtfully designed curriculum that breaks down topics into manageable segments to ensure effective learning and practice.

    In addition to his extensive background in professional training, Simon has also worked as a youth sports coach. His commitment to the core values of sportsmanship influences his educational approach. Alongside Christine, Simon created the Learning Sphere and Curriculum Pyramid, which are integral to their programs.

    Mindsphere.sg is also in talks with various organizations who are keen on developing their professionals at different stages of their careers. "With talent at the heart of our resilient economy, it is essential for individuals to be equipped with timeless skills", Simon emphasizes. "We take pride in our role in nurturing future leaders".

    Mabel, an executive in the Banking and Finance sector and mother of three, adds, "Public speaking skills are crucial for children. They enhance communication and presentation abilities, boost confidence, and prepare them for future academic and professional opportunities". As the founders of Mindsphere.sg put it, "In a world full of opportunities waiting to be unlocked, your soft skills are the keys".

    Mindsphere Singapore stands out as a premier training provider, fueled by the founders' passion, compassion, and deep expertise in training and coaching. The organization is dedicated to exploring innovative methods and ideas to offer impactful teaching that remains relevant to the workforce, all while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethics.
