I attended brother Abu Sofian’s workshop on speaking for impact and I indeed found it very profound and beneficial. In the workshop, he covered from having a strong opening to captivate your audience, to how you send your audience with strong takeaways. He also elaborated on the different speaking techniques that could be used in different scenarios. For example, one of the techniques was PREP. PREP would be one of the techniques where you structure your speech based on POINT, REASON, EXAMPLE, and POINT. He explained how this technique allows speakers, to stay objective on a topic yet remain persuasive and give a stronger way to the objective the speaker wants to spread across. All in All, I was glad to have attended the workshop as it served as an excellent crash course on how you can strive to speak with an impact. The speaking techniques such as the PREP, and OSLA, are put in place for the different scenarios, a person might be to speak in our everyday life. Abu Sofian always ensures to engage the audience and sets in an environment where participants are free to ask questions also Abu Sofian ensures to address the questions put forth by the participants and always ensures to ask further, to get a deeper of the participant's view of an issue they are facing. As a participant, I'm glad that I attended the workshop and would ask others to also connect with him regarding their professional development and also to improve their speaking skills.

What started out as a simple conversation slowly turned into a deep, insightful, and self-reflecting coaching session. Abu Sofian’s calm and open demeanour made me feel at ease while talking with him. Not only was he able to provide perceptive advice, he was also willing to share his experiences which made the session a truly valuable conversation. I definitely recommend Abu Sofian as a coach!

Abu Sofian is outstanding leader and communicator who leads other with humility and empathy. I have had the pleasure of working with him as a member of the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Student Toastmasters Club (NPSTMC). While serving as a member of the club’s executive committee, Sofian has time and again demonstrated excellence in leading others and delivering impactful speeches. Most notably, he emerged as the Champion for SpeechCraft, a polytechnic-wide public speaking competition. With his great communication and leadership skills, coupled with his pleasant disposition, I have full confidence that Sofian will be an exceptional value creator for any organization he is a part of.

In my time working with Abu, I have observed him to lead strongly with empathy. His authenticity enabled him to connect and manage well officers of various backgrounds. His ease of connection with people makes him a natural community builder and accentuates his ability to manage and deliver projects well.

Goldmine in you! is an eye-opening experience with 1 and a half day to boot. They go in depth into the teaching and mindset on how to overcome obstacles and resolve conflicts, and to become the leader you didn't know you have in you.

I attended the Goldmine in You Leadership Workshop and I believe Sofian has done a great job in unravelling some existing concerns and discussion points which may not have been able to surface. It works best when you really let go the fear of being judged by colleagues and dig deeper into ourselves. Thank you Sofian!

Sofian is a really great at what he does! Even in a limited session, he could pinpoint my blind spots and share what are the things I should be focusing on! After seeing how much knowledge he shared in just a one hour session, can't wait to attend a longer coaching session with him!

Attended the Speaking For Impact Showcase. Abu Sofian is very generous in his sharing. The short presentation is professional, relatable and has so much potential to be expanded further. The 1 hour session with him flew quite fast. Really liked the part on inner work and attention.I felt that the lessons learnt were practical and hoping to put some into good use!
