ROY Y.H. TAN holds a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor’s in Computer Science. He started off as a Software Engineer and slowly ventured into the Oil & Gas Sector as a Transport Manager under a SHELL haulage contractor. He finally found himself as a Sales Manager in an IT company and due to his keen drive to network and build business relationships, he started his own software agency in 2007 with a vision to solve clients’ problems through simplicity.
A wakeup call came knocking in 2009 when having realized his strengths in public speaking, Roy shifted his focus to developing his skills in the area of corporate training. His passion for creating a positive impact on people's lives has helped him in his commitment and dedication of delivering the right message to his participants. He aspires to empower others to take charge of their success - both in life and at work. He strongly believes it is important that leaders create a safe and harmonious working environment where every member is able to perform their best. He has made his life’s passion to spread this belief through the spirit of Omoiyari.
He specializes in the area of META-COACHING, LEADERSHIP and PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT. Throughout his journey in organizational behavioral development, he mainly works with leaders to cultivate a coaching culture where they focus on inspiring the workforce to be highly motivated – hence unleashing potential. His “meta” approach helps leaders move deep into “meaning” of things rather than performance / superficial based. By changing meaning, behavioral change is made more sustainable.
Since exploring into coaching in 2011, Roy also conducts 1-to-1 executive coaching conversations with various levels of employees and individuals – ranging from Managers to C-suites. To help strengthen effectiveness, he discovered a tool from Denmark called Motivation Factor that helps measure and develop motivation for individuals and teams through a systemic approach.
To date, Roy has spoken to over 500 organizations of various sizes and industries, and to over 10,000 people from various backgrounds. His significance has reached to large corporations such as Starbucks, Technip, Unicharm, IJN, AEON, Akzonobel, JKR, Tohtonku, Vinda, Cosway, Toyo Tires, Mamee, On Semiconductor, Phillip Morris, Huawei, TnG Digital, Antah Schlinder, Heriot Watt, Petronas, NXP, Fonterra, Bangkok Bank, Lenovo, Shell, Daikin and many more.
