VIA FRONTIERS
|
VIA Frontiers was founded in Sydney in 2002 and relocated to Singapore in 2007. In the last 19 years of operating in the Asia Pacific Region we have helped organisations install high performance cultures while deepening employee engagement. This created self management in the workplace where employees were driven by their sense of purpose. They gained clarity and enormous meaning for their future direction.
Over many years of working with organisations we found most were time poor, searching for fast results. We developed Rapid Success Technology in addition to Neuro-linguistic Programming tools for clients to achieve elite levels of performance at record speeds. Our methodology is practical, sustainable, efficient and most of all replicable. Our holistic approach to corporate issues having had vast experience, plays out in training, facilitating, group coaching and one-on-one coaching. Our programs are highly experiential and modules are broken down into easily digested segments. Highly engaging, they encourage higher retention in learners. Our clients have fun and look forward sessions. Common feedback is that they love the content learnt as it is easily applied to daily life, at work or home. |

My expertise in navigating change and enhancing communication has empowered individuals, teams, and organizations to achieve their full potential, driven by my unwavering enthusiasm and dedication to help others succeed.
Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients, including government agencies, private and public education institutions, corporates, and partners from Australia, United Kingdom, Sweden, China, and South-East Asia. This extensive exposure to change work has deepened my understanding and proficiency in this area. Complementing my repertoire of qualifications, my NLP Practitioner skills have proven effective in various change-related scenarios, from equipping individuals with self-management skills to aligning organizational cultures. |
Darren Chua
Darren first stumbled upon NLP while signing up for a computer application course he thought was Natural Language Processing. However, after attending the program, he discovered Neuro-linguistic Programming to be immensely beneficial and applicable to many aspects of his life. By enhancing his sensory awareness, he learned to utilize his senses to their fullest potential.
During his personal journey towards self-improvement, Darren discovered that identifying his values and implementing various NLP processes had a profound impact on him. His life transformed when he took the initiative to become a Licensed Practitioner of NLP.
Currently teaching at BELLS Academic Group, Darren holds an Advance Certificate in Learning and Performance (ACLP) and is also a certified Apple Teacher. He is also an experienced real estate director with a background in banking and government administration.

Kamlesh Ramchand
Beginning my career as a Local Merit Scholar in the Singapore Police Force, I have since gained valuable experience in large corporations such as G4S, Singapore Power, and DoCoMo interTouch, working alongside individuals from all walks of life.
Currently, I am a Certified NLP Practitioner and a WSQ-accredited trainer, with ongoing pursuits in obtaining qualifications for transformational coaching and courseware development. Continuously learning and discovering new tools, my focus remains on inspiring individuals to unlock their full potential.
In my opinion, the ultimate gift one can give themselves is the ability to realize their greatest potential. NLP provides extraordinary insights into an individual's beliefs and values, fostering an unparalleled level of self-awareness. With these newfound insights, I firmly believe that anyone can ascend to greater heights and bring their aspirations to fruition.

COACHES
Amy Tan
I've always been interested in the dynamics of relationships and human behavior. One day, I came across a Instagram ad for NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Communication Tools for High Performance course. Intrigued, I decided to attend the course, which not only taught me about effective communication but also gave me valuable tools for self-improvement.
During my 10-year career as a hybrid designer, I had been trained to pay close attention to visual details, but this course taught me to use all my senses to achieve greater personal growth. I discovered a newfound strength, learned to identify and eliminate negative self-talk, and uprooted limiting beliefs that had held me back in the past. This transformation inspired me to help others claim their personal power and pursue their own self-improvement journey.
Currently, I am a certified NLP Coach, a full-time artist specializing in ceramic homewares, and a volunteer content creator for young children's programs.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
|
At VIA Frontiers, we have always been passionate about working in social enterprise projects. In 2016, we began a partnership with AGAPE Connecting People who operate a call centre in Changi Prison. Our mandate was to improve performance and customer service levels of each telemarketer. We had two touch points monthly, coaching and training agents. Our deeper objective was to eradicate negative emotional programming inherent in each agent and help them re-integrate into society. |
