V-A-L-U-E Based Networking - Networking Skills that Produce Results Beyond Smiling, Shaking Hands

Networking - This word conjures up a sense of dread among many people. The word "net" suggests a "scatter-gun" approach to knowing as many people and collecting as many name cards as possible by the end of the night. The word "working", well, just sounds too dreary. Especially for introverts, networking can sound like a daunting prospect, or at best, a "song-and-dance" routine of smiling and talking to strangers. Does it really have to be like that? In this workshop, Coen Tan will share with you the networking techniques that will help you take a more elegant, sophisticated and value-based approach to your networking activities.

Particular of Coen Tan

Workshop Facilitator, Natural Empath, Improv Enthusiast

As a facilitator, Coen envisions a world in which people break out of their self-imposed limitations and express themselves courageously to serve others. He believes that every person deserves to be seen, be heard, and be appreciated.

This conviction comes from difficult personal experiences.

Personal Experiences

Growing up as an emotionally sensitive child, Coen often “felt” emotions that people were not aware of feeling themselves, so he was often labelled as “overly sensitive.” For a long time, he has accepted these labels and therefore learn to keep his emotions to himself. This led him to isolate himself, got bullied in school, and fell into depression.

After a long journey of personal healing, working through his experiences, Coen is now able to understand that his perceived weaknesses are actually his strengths when applied with empathy.

Today, he brings his gifts of compassion, curiosity and creativity to create safe places where individuals can challenge themselves and achieve personal and team transformations. Combining his understanding of human psychology with improvisation theatre techniques, Coen’s workshops are engaging, fun and deep learning experiences.

Work Experiences and Professional Training

Over the past 12 years, Coen has spoken to, and trained over 50,000 individuals. Before embarking on this journey, he worked for 5 years as a leadership training curriculum designer, which gave him an in-depth understanding of the psychology of learning.

Having been certified in multiple personality profiling instruments like the MBTI and Enneagram, he has an appreciation for the myriad of worldviews and motivation drivers of people he works with. Being a certified Cultural Transformation and Values Assessment Consultant, and Appreciative Inquiry Practitioner, Coen is inspired to work with people to tap into their values and innate gifts to flourish.
