Joshua spent 24 years in the unforgiving, high-pressure arena of luxury hospitality with the Shangri-La Group, leading complex multi-outlet operations generating more than S$75 million in annual revenue.
In a world where excellence was non-negotiable and every mistake played out in full view, he and his teams served heads of state, global CEOs and international icons, including Lee Kuan Yew, Mahathir Mohamad, Barack Obama, Xi Jinping, Tony Blair, George Bush, Tony Fernandes, Aung San Suu Kyi, Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United - only a glimpse of a guest list that read like the world’s ultimate who’s who.
There were no rehearsals, no second takes and no safety nets. Every decision had to be made in the moment, under intense pressure, with the most demanding guests in the world watching closely.
That world forged Joshua’s philosophy on leadership, performance and human behaviour. What he teaches today is not theory. It is the hard-earned wisdom of 24 years spent leading people where expectations were sky-high and results were the only measure that mattered.
When capable people misalign, performance suffers.
This short introduction explains why most communication breakdowns are not caused by lack of skill, attitude, or motivation — but by differences in how people gain clarity.
Colored Brain Communication helps leaders understand how their teams think, especially under pressure, so communication becomes easier, alignment improves, and training translates into real behavioural change.
If you lead people, this perspective may change how you see your team.
