Leadership Masterclass

Dr. Alfred Ang is a Distinguished Toastmaster, the highest educational award in Toastmasters International, and has won many public speaking awards. Years of prepared speeches, evaluations, contests and club leadership taught him how to structure a message, read an audience, handle difficult questions and give feedback that people act on, and he coaches these same skills in class. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a BSc (Hons) in Physics from NUS, and spent more than 20 years in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries, where he co-invented more than 20 US patents and published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers. Today he is the Chief Technology Officer of Tertiary Infotech Academy and founded Tertiary Infotech Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia in 2016. As CTO he leads the planning, delivery and continuous release of the course-registration and learning management platform behind the Tertiary Courses websites in Singapore, Malaysia and Ghana, coordinating developers, trainers and operations staff across three countries. He is also a PMP-certified project manager and a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, so his soft-skills training stays tied to real workplace results rather than theory.

In this leadership course, Dr. Ang shares lessons from leading engineering teams and running a training organisation across three countries, as well as from club leadership in Toastmasters. Learners cover the foundations of effective leadership, communication and collaboration, decision making and problem solving, motivation and performance, conflict resolution and negotiation, and team building and management. He places strong emphasis on leading through clear communication and constructive feedback, and practical exercises help learners build a leadership style they can apply with their own teams straight away.
