深度了解到自己内心的性格,也了解自己为什么那么讨厌和不耐烦其他人格类型的人,现在我才知道,每个人格类型都有自己的特性和优缺点,我以前之所以生气,其实并不是必选题,其实我是有选择的,我可以选择去面对,我可以选择去接受他人

之前的我会把自己当成是透明人,觉得自己发表的言论是没有人会采取的。 所以久而久之就不发言了,不论在家庭,工作还是朋友之间。 为何会参加这个课程也是因为想要和老公解决沟通上的问题。 上课后,我从老公开始说出我的不满,开始用于发出自己的愤怒。 然后慢慢地到公司去争取自己想要的东西。 我也从中发觉自己是重要的,有价值的。 感谢Daniel 和Simyee 的指导,教课。 感恩在对的时间遇见对的老师的指导

很开心认识九型人格,课程中了解了它的能力与潜力,见识了它的高效与神奇。之前对于自己的一些困扰不理解,梳理不出来原因,也找不到解决办法,不确定应该如何去分析和理解这些情况。通过2天的课程不但所有的困扰迎刃而解,还因为找到了看世界更多的窗户而让自己更加的毫无顾忌和坚定。 此时此刻,觉得眼前的石子路变成了白沙滩,好像每一粒沙都找到了它所属的小沙漏,美好又柔软。 超级感谢这样的机会,无比珍贵。

我與女兒的關係曾經到水火不容的境界,我無法忍受她的情緒勒索、無理取鬧等等,直到我認知到自己如果不願意面對這種情況,可能永遠失去這個女兒,於是我接觸了九型人格,想藉由瞭解自己以及了解對方,來改善現況甚至是改善關係。很高興我跟著Daniel持續的學習直視自己的內心狀態,以及對事物的反應所導致的因果關係,學習著讓自己不在當下做反應,學習著讓自己變得柔軟,學習著讓自己願意成就對方想做的事情,讓自己慢慢改變。我覺得這種方式是很高效的做法,很高興我能認識到Daniel

参加 了两天Speaking with Impact,让我学到了一套不同以往的公开演讲技巧,特别是在如何吸引观众注意力,以及更自然地切入演讲主题方面,收获很大。 Daniel 在课程中提供了许多实用的指导和建议,帮助我整理演讲内容,让整个 Presentation 的主题更加清晰、更有重点。Simyee 也分享了许多专业意见,并在练习过程中给予耐心的指导和协助,让学习更加高效。 除此之外,课程场地舒适,餐点也很美味,整体学习体验非常愉快。推荐给想提升公开演讲能力和表达技巧的朋友!

学习九型人格后,我最大的改变,是开始觉察自己过去没有发现的思维模式和行为习惯。遇到事情时,我不再只是凭惯性反应,而是会停下来观察自己,理解自己为什么会这样想、这样做。它让我在生活和工作中多了一份觉察,也学会用更开放的方式理解自己和别人。 感谢 SimYee & Daniel一路上的陪伴。他们没有急着给我标签,而是透过提问和交流,帮助我慢慢探索自己。对我来说,这是一段更真实认识自己的旅程。 我会推荐给每一个想更了解自己的人。九型人格不是为了给自己贴标签,而是帮助你看见那些平常不容易察觉的模式,让你活得更自在,也更真实。

I would like to thanks Daniel & Sim Yee for this opportunity to understand myself better. Awareness, honesty, and acceptance, are my key learning and realised my Enneagram Type. This allowed me to be able to "see" myself and accept who I am in a very clean and clear manner. This helped me found answers I been long looking for. I am looking forward to a deeper learning with Enneagram. Thank you !

This workshop gave me a deeper understanding of myself and the people around me. I learned that self-awareness is not about labelling ourselves, but about recognising our strengths, blind spots and automatic reactions. Most importantly, it reminded me to lead with greater awareness, empathy and understanding. Thank you to our trainer and my team for making these two days meaningful and valuable.

Working with people as a business owner is challenging, especially if there are specific goals to achieve for the team or project stakeholders. The training led by Daniel and assisted by Simyee aimed to let us discover our own inner personality and behavioural patterns which I found it deeply engaging, insightful yet fun. The second highlight for me was learning about the better ways of communicating with people of different personalities, leading to more effective decision making.

Enneagram is a very useful & precise people management tool to manage different types of people scientifically. While they’re many ways of becoming a good leader, mastering enneagram is definitely one of them. I am very happy that it enables me not only to become a better leader, but a better husband, father, and person. Well done to Daniel, and Sim Yee for providing such a meaningful leadership workshop. The session was conducted in a very interesting and authentic atmosphere.

It helped me to understand why I think, react and communicate the way I do — and why the people around me communicate and react the way they do. As a business owner, I deal with many people every day — my staff, my clients and my business partner. The Enneagram has given me a new perspective on leading my team, communicating more effectively. It strengthens our relationships among the team. What I love the most is not about gaining new knowledge — it's creating self-awareness and personal growth.

Before joining Speaking with Impact, I thought public speaking was mainly presenting your idea in front of people confidently. I realized it is much more than that — you present through telling the stories that inspire people, communicating with intentions, and connecting with people. What I really appreciated was it's very practical — not just learning the theories, but practice and feedback. As a business owner, I speak with my team, my clients and my partner every day. This course has helped me convey my message and ideas more clearly and effectively.

Before that, I was having the difficulty to speak in front of hundreds of people, and difficult to have a formal presentation for a seminar. But after I attended Daniel and Simyee's Enneagram class, this thing improved a lot. Enneagram tools allowed me to see my own strength and blind spots. From there, I was able to use structural ways to improve my speaking, confidence, and bring up the best version of myself. And also bring up my leadership role to better manage people, conflicts and expectations and relationships. Daniel and Simyee is a very kind person, they are very friendly. So I will strongly recommend you to join their class to understand more about Enneagram tools. Definitely will help you a lot in terms of personal level or a team building level.

这次与 Daniel 和 Simyee 的交流,对我和太太来说都是一次很有收获的体验。 其实在这之前,我们已经看过九型人格的测试结果和一些文字解释,但当时更多只是知道“我可能是哪几种类型”,以及这些类型大概有什么特点。通过昨天的交流,我才第一次更清楚地理解到,每一种类型背后都有更深层的动机、恐惧和关注点,也会影响我们平时看待自己、处理关系和面对事情的方式。 我觉得最有启发的是,九型人格不是简单的人格类型标签,而是一步一步往下看,帮助我们看到很多行为背后的原因。有些我们以为只是习惯或性格的反应,其实背后可能有更深的驱动力。 现在我和太太都处在一个 transition 的阶段。来到新的环境,不只是换一个地方生活,也希望可以换一种心态,慢慢调整一些看待问题和处理事情的方式。所以在这个时间点,有这样一次机会去做自我认知,我们觉得特别有意义。 Daniel 和 Simyee 的讲解也很自然、生动,不是生硬地讲理论,而是循序渐进地带着我们理解自己。更特别的是,这次是和太太一起参与的,也让我们有机会更好地理解彼此行为背后的想法和需求。 整体来说,这是一次很温暖、也很有启发的体验。它让我觉得,九型人格真正有价值的地方,不是告诉我们“你是哪一型”,而是帮助我们理解:为什么我会这样想、这样反应、这样与人相处。 对我来说,现在最大的改变是,我开始用一个新的角度理解我太太。 以前我一直觉得她是一个情商很高、很会处理人际关系的人,好像很多事情对她来说都可以处理得很自然。但这次交流让我意识到,作为 Type 2,她看起来很会照顾别人、很会把关系处理好,但这背后其实也有很多内心的在意、纠结和消耗。 这让我很受触动。因为我开始不只是看到她做了什么,而是更能理解她为什么会这样做,以及她在关系中可能承受的需要和压力。对我们来说,这也是一次很好的彼此理解。 我会推荐给正在经历人生或工作转变的人,尤其是夫妻、伴侣,或者希望更好理解自己和身边人的人。因为这不是一次简单的性格测试,而是一次很好的自我认知和关系理解的过程。它不会马上给你一个标准答案,但会帮助你用一个新的角度去看自己,也更温和地理解别人。

Daniel has coached me in the Enneagram for the past two years, and his depth of knowledge spans both family relationships and corporate team dynamics. On a personal level, he has coached my family on how to communicate more effectively with one another, helping us understand situations through each other’s lens, not just our own. This has made a real difference in how I communicate with my teenager, and how I show up to support and parent him as a mother. I’ve also brought Daniel into corporate settings, engaging him to run talks that help employees understand their own personality type and communicate and support one another better as teams. On top of that, Daniel continues to coach me personally to refine my own communication patterns, both at work and at home. With his depth of knowledge in the Enneagram, I’m confident to keep engaging him for future sharing in both corporate and family settings.

My husband and I attended an intro into the Enneagram with Daniel and Sim Yee. They were kind enough to give us a little sneak peak reading on our Enneagram types over a short Zoom call. We went in with no expectations but were completely blown away with the way Daniel and Sim Yee handled the session. Daniel was able to hold a space that made it very comfortable for me to express my deepest self, and a space for my husband that made it limitless for him to discover parts of himself he was not aware of before. I'm usually very careful with who I want to learn workshops from, but with utmost confidence I can say that Daniel is one of the best presenters in Malaysia I've seen. His flow of presentation and grounded aura make the session an unforgettable experience. We recommend 10/10 to join any workshop or sessions with Daniel & Sim Yee! Both my husband and I are more aware of how we interact with each other. My Enneagram type requires lots of personal space, even more than he does, and he is the most introverted Enneagram type. LOL. He used to be slightly upset with my need for space but now he sees this is something that i really need in order to sustain myself. I myself am more aware of the way he needs information in order to sustain himself and so, instead of taking things personally, I give him the information he needs in order to feel secure. We are happier for attending the session with Daniel and Sim Yee. I reccommend anyone who is stuck, not knowing how to move forward relationally (with yourself or others), would benefit greatly from the experience.

Before this work, I lived permanently 拧巴 (twisted up) — holding myself and everyone around me to perfectionist standards, yet unable to stop people-pleasing. When things fell short of "perfect," I'd get anxious and quietly critical; but I also couldn't say no, always putting others first and sacrificing my own time and feelings. I swung between 挑剔 (nitpicking) and 讨好 (pleasing), and whenever conflict hit, I couldn't step back to see things objectively — I'd 钻牛角尖 (spiral) and drain myself in endless 内耗 (self-drain). I thought my personality was just flawed. I was hesitant the Enneagram test would simply slap a label on me and not actually solve my 内耗 (self-drain). But Daniel is a 非常 nice 又耐心 (very kind and patient) coach — he made it completely safe to face my contradictions. Through his read, everything landed the moment I saw my structure: Type 1 Perfectionist (core), T2 Giver (second highest), with T5 Observer as my blind spot. My nitpicking wasn't fault-finding — it was a Type 1's need for order; my boundaryless giving was the Giver instinct. I'd been tearing myself between the two for years. The change is real and measurable. A work disagreement that used to cost me half a day of 内耗 (self-drain) and a sleepless night — this time I stayed calm, sorted it in a 10-minute conversation, no overtime, no friction with colleagues, and the plan was implemented smoothly. I've stopped swinging between harsh nitpicking and boundaryless giving; I'm learning to see things neutrally and give with limits. Change is hard and I'm not fully there yet — but this clear self-understanding is the most real thing I took away. Doing the test together with my husband has also helped our relationship a lot. 感谢 (thank you)~

Working with Daniel has been one of the most transformative investments I have made in my personal and professional growth. When I first started, I thought the Enneagram was simply another personality assessment. What I discovered instead was a powerful framework that helped me understand not only how I behave, but more importantly, why I respond the way I do under pressure, in both personal and professional relationships, as well as a leader. Daniel has an incredible ability to create a safe space while also asking the difficult questions that challenge deeply rooted patterns. Rather than giving easy answers, he gently guided me towards greater self awareness, helping me recognise blind spots, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and beliefs that had quietly shaped many of my decisions for years. Through his coaching, I have learnt to establish healthier boundaries, communicate with greater clarity, and make decisions from a place of conviction instead of fear or people pleasing. These are lessons that have impacted not only my work, but also my relationships and everyday life. What sets Daniel apart is that he doesn't simply teach the Enneagram. He lives it. His insights are practical, thoughtful, and deeply compassionate, yet he never shies away from speaking the truth when it is needed. He has an exceptional ability to balance empathy with accountability, allowing genuine growth to take place. As a business owner leading a team, I have also seen firsthand how his coaching and Enneagram workshops create greater understanding, psychological safety, and stronger collaboration within the workplace. I am deeply grateful for Daniel's guidance and unwavering support throughout my journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is serious about understanding themselves, growing as a leader, and building healthier relationships. His coaching has genuinely changed the way I see myself and how I choose to show up in the world.

After attending the Enneagram for Business workshop, my biggest takeaway was not simply learning another framework. It was experiencing a different way of understanding people. Many frameworks naturally put people's perspectives and behaviours into simple categories of right or wrong, but the Enneagram takes a different direction. It focuses more on awareness and self-reflection. It helps us look at the motivations, fears, strengths, blind spots, and habitual patterns behind different personality types. Through this, we can understand ourselves better and relate to others with more empathy. What made this workshop special was that each part had its own focus and its own feel, yet everything still naturally connected back to the same core principle. Over the two days, we were not pushed into rigid theories or fixed personality boxes. Instead, through the different activities and discussions, we slowly built a clearer and more connected way of thinking that we could actually use in different situations. The concepts were also explained through very simple, everyday examples. These were situations that everyone had experienced, but rarely stopped to look at closely. Because of this, the deeper ideas became easier to understand and easier to remember. The whole experience was clearly designed around the people in the room. It did not expect everyone to fit into the same template. It adjusted according to the group and what was happening in the room, which made the learning feel more personal and more practical. Daniel and Sim Yee worked very naturally together. Daniel used many relatable, everyday examples to help us understand human behaviour, while Sim Yee extended those insights into real workplace situations such as collaboration, communication, and decision-making. Together, they helped us understand both people and situations more clearly, and showed us how to respond in a more suitable way without losing sight of the actual work. What stayed with me most was the shift in perspective. It was the kind of shift that suddenly makes you realise that some things had always been sitting in your blind spots—you just had never noticed them before. After many workshops, we leave with pages of notes that make perfect sense on the day. Then, two weeks later, we open them again and start wondering what we were even trying to write. This workshop felt different. To be completely honest, no workshop can answer whether every person will leave with exactly what they originally came for. But one thing is certain. From the conversations that continued even after the workshop ended—and not just the feedback given during it—everyone left with a seed, and a clearer idea of how to help it continue growing.

From there, I was able to use structural ways to improve my speaking, confidence, and bring up the best version of myself. And also bring up my leadership role to better manage people, conflicts and expectations and relationships. Daniel and Simyee is a very kind person, they are very friendly. So I will strongly recommend you to join their class to understand more about Enneagram tools. Definitely will help you a lot in terms of personal level or a team building level.

这次与 Daniel 和 Simyee 的交流,对我和太太来说都是一次很有收获的体验。 其实在这之前,我们已经看过九型人格的测试结果和一些文字解释,但当时更多只是知道“我可能是哪几种类型”,以及这些类型大概有什么特点。通过昨天的交流,我才第一次更清楚地理解到,每一种类型背后都有更深层的动机、恐惧和关注点,也会影响我们平时看待自己、处理关系和面对事情的方式。 我觉得最有启发的是,九型人格不是简单的人格类型标签,而是一步一步往下看,帮助我们看到很多行为背后的原因。有些我们以为只是习惯或性格的反应,其实背后可能有更深的驱动力。 现在我和太太都处在一个 transition 的阶段。来到新的环境,不只是换一个地方生活,也希望可以换一种心态,慢慢调整一些看待问题和处理事情的方式。所以在这个时间点,有这样一次机会去做自我认知,我们觉得特别有意义。 Daniel 和 Simyee 的讲解也很自然、生动,不是生硬地讲理论,而是循序渐进地带着我们理解自己。更特别的是,这次是和太太一起参与的,也让我们有机会更好地理解彼此行为背后的想法和需求。 整体来说,这是一次很温暖、也很有启发的体验。它让我觉得,九型人格真正有价值的地方,不是告诉我们“你是哪一型”,而是帮助我们理解:为什么我会这样想、这样反应、这样与人相处。 对我来说,现在最大的改变是,我开始用一个新的角度理解我太太。 以前我一直觉得她是一个情商很高、很会处理人际关系的人,好像很多事情对她来说都可以处理得很自然。但这次交流让我意识到,作为 Type 2,她看起来很会照顾别人、很会把关系处理好,但这背后其实也有很多内心的在意、纠结和消耗。 这让我很受触动。因为我开始不只是看到她做了什么,而是更能理解她为什么会这样做,以及她在关系中可能承受的需要和压力。对我们来说,这也是一次很好的彼此理解。 我会推荐给正在经历人生或工作转变的人,尤其是夫妻、伴侣,或者希望更好理解自己和身边人的人。因为这不是一次简单的性格测试,而是一次很好的自我认知和关系理解的过程。它不会马上给你一个标准答案,但会帮助你用一个新的角度去看自己,也更温和地理解别人。

Daniel has coached me in the Enneagram for the past two years, and his depth of knowledge spans both family relationships and corporate team dynamics. On a personal level, he has coached my family on how to communicate more effectively with one another, helping us understand situations through each other’s lens, not just our own. This has made a real difference in how I communicate with my teenager, and how I show up to support and parent him as a mother. I’ve also brought Daniel into corporate settings, engaging him to run talks that help employees understand their own personality type and communicate and support one another better as teams. On top of that, Daniel continues to coach me personally to refine my own communication patterns, both at work and at home. With his depth of knowledge in the Enneagram, I’m confident to keep engaging him for future sharing in both corporate and family settings.

Daniel was able to hold a space that made it very comfortable for me to express my deepest self, and a space for my husband that made it limitless for him to discover parts of himself he was not aware of before. I'm usually very careful with who I want to learn workshops from, but with utmost confidence I can say that Daniel is one of the best presenters in Malaysia I've seen. His flow of presentation and grounded aura make the session an unforgettable experience. We recommend 10/10 to join any workshop or sessions with Daniel & Sim Yee! Both my husband and I are more aware of how we interact with each other. My Enneagram type requires lots of personal space, even more than he does, and he is the most introverted Enneagram type. LOL. He used to be slightly upset with my need for space but now he sees this is something that i really need in order to sustain myself. I myself am more aware of the way he needs information in order to sustain himself and so, instead of taking things personally, I give him the information he needs in order to feel secure. We are happier for attending the session with Daniel and Sim Yee. I reccommend anyone who is stuck, not knowing how to move forward relationally (with yourself or others), would benefit greatly from the experience.

Before this work, I lived permanently 拧巴 (twisted up) — holding myself and everyone around me to perfectionist standards, yet unable to stop people-pleasing. When things fell short of "perfect," I'd get anxious and quietly critical; but I also couldn't say no, always putting others first and sacrificing my own time and feelings. I swung between 挑剔 (nitpicking) and 讨好 (pleasing), and whenever conflict hit, I couldn't step back to see things objectively — I'd 钻牛角尖 (spiral) and drain myself in endless 内耗 (self-drain). I thought my personality was just flawed. I was hesitant the Enneagram test would simply slap a label on me and not actually solve my 内耗 (self-drain). But Daniel is a 非常 nice 又耐心 (very kind and patient) coach — he made it completely safe to face my contradictions. Through his read, everything landed the moment I saw my structure: Type 1 Perfectionist (core), T2 Giver (second highest), with T5 Observer as my blind spot. My nitpicking wasn't fault-finding — it was a Type 1's need for order; my boundaryless giving was the Giver instinct. I'd been tearing myself between the two for years. The change is real and measurable. A work disagreement that used to cost me half a day of 内耗 (self-drain) and a sleepless night — this time I stayed calm, sorted it in a 10-minute conversation, no overtime, no friction with colleagues, and the plan was implemented smoothly. I've stopped swinging between harsh nitpicking and boundaryless giving; I'm learning to see things neutrally and give with limits. Change is hard and I'm not fully there yet — but this clear self-understanding is the most real thing I took away. Doing the test together with my husband has also helped our relationship a lot. 感谢 (thank you)~

Working with Daniel has been one of the most transformative investments I have made in my personal and professional growth. When I first started, I thought the Enneagram was simply another personality assessment. What I discovered instead was a powerful framework that helped me understand not only how I behave, but more importantly, why I respond the way I do under pressure, in both personal and professional relationships, as well as a leader. Daniel has an incredible ability to create a safe space while also asking the difficult questions that challenge deeply rooted patterns. Rather than giving easy answers, he gently guided me towards greater self awareness, helping me recognise blind spots, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and beliefs that had quietly shaped many of my decisions for years. Through his coaching, I have learnt to establish healthier boundaries, communicate with greater clarity, and make decisions from a place of conviction instead of fear or people pleasing. These are lessons that have impacted not only my work, but also my relationships and everyday life. What sets Daniel apart is that he doesn't simply teach the Enneagram. He lives it. His insights are practical, thoughtful, and deeply compassionate, yet he never shies away from speaking the truth when it is needed. He has an exceptional ability to balance empathy with accountability, allowing genuine growth to take place. As a business owner leading a team, I have also seen firsthand how his coaching and Enneagram workshops create greater understanding, psychological safety, and stronger collaboration within the workplace. I am deeply grateful for Daniel's guidance and unwavering support throughout my journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is serious about understanding themselves, growing as a leader, and building healthier relationships. His coaching has genuinely changed the way I see myself and how I choose to show up in the world.

After attending the Enneagram for Business workshop, my biggest takeaway was not simply learning another framework. It was experiencing a different way of understanding people. Many frameworks naturally put people's perspectives and behaviours into simple categories of right or wrong, but the Enneagram takes a different direction. It focuses more on awareness and self-reflection. It helps us look at the motivations, fears, strengths, blind spots, and habitual patterns behind different personality types. Through this, we can understand ourselves better and relate to others with more empathy. What made this workshop special was that each part had its own focus and its own feel, yet everything still naturally connected back to the same core principle. Over the two days, we were not pushed into rigid theories or fixed personality boxes. Instead, through the different activities and discussions, we slowly built a clearer and more connected way of thinking that we could actually use in different situations. The concepts were also explained through very simple, everyday examples. These were situations that everyone had experienced, but rarely stopped to look at closely. Because of this, the deeper ideas became easier to understand and easier to remember. The whole experience was clearly designed around the people in the room. It did not expect everyone to fit into the same template. It adjusted according to the group and what was happening in the room, which made the learning feel more personal and more practical. Daniel and Sim Yee worked very naturally together. Daniel used many relatable, everyday examples to help us understand human behaviour, while Sim Yee extended those insights into real workplace situations such as collaboration, communication, and decision-making. Together, they helped us understand both people and situations more clearly, and showed us how to respond in a more suitable way without losing sight of the actual work. What stayed with me most was the shift in perspective. It was the kind of shift that suddenly makes you realise that some things had always been sitting in your blind spots—you just had never noticed them before. After many workshops, we leave with pages of notes that make perfect sense on the day. Then, two weeks later, we open them again and start wondering what we were even trying to write. This workshop felt different. To be completely honest, no workshop can answer whether every person will leave with exactly what they originally came for. But one thing is certain. From the conversations that continued even after the workshop ended—and not just the feedback given during it—everyone left with a seed, and a clearer idea of how to help it continue growing.
