He consistently demonstrate patience, wisdom, and a genuine commitment to helping others achieve their potential. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Jenson worked with me as an executive coach when I was going through a transition phase in my career. I appreciated how he helped to ask insightful questions, which enabled me to get to the heart of what I was trying to explore. His compassion and awareness was highly appreciated. Working with him allowed me to make some great decisions, as he helped me access my own awareness. He is a dedicated coach and I can recommend him highly!

Jenson is an empathetic and patient and giving coach with a warm calm and soothing energy. Meticulous and process driven his gentle guidance and calm balanced presence throughout the session have always made me feel very safe.

I have coached with him as an entrepreneur/ business woman over the past year and feel very privileged to have been known him and be guided by him. He has helped me welcome and enjoy the introduction of process into my creative space and I will always thank him for his support and guidance. I look forward to my sessions with him.

I am always impressed by Jenson´s knowledge and with the dedication he has, not only for his mission(s) but also for anyone he interacts with.
His humanistic values and philanthropic nature are rare assets.

His motivational level, generosity and seriousness of purpose make him stand high in any work, social or cultural environment. As an innovative thinker, he is always on top of the latest in the field, combining sharp analysis with a strong intuition and problem-solving focus. Optimistic, engaging, inspirational and easy to get along with, Jenson is extremely creative and with an outstanding intellectual acumen.

In addition to our friendship – which I am honoured for – I must say that seldom have I been able to make such wholehearted considerations. They are all true.

Dr. Jenson is my mentor and coach in the NUS GSS Alumni Mentorship Programme. I am always impressed by his rich knowledge sharing and deep insights that he has helped to evoke within me during each session. Dr. Jenson is a genuine and sincere coach and educator at heart. He cares deeply for his coachee and spends a significant amount of time and effort to help me become aware of various innovative approaches towards my career and life challenges through his highly effective coaching questioning.

Through his support, I am able to maximize my potential and also discover deep insights about myself. His generosity in sharing his extensive experiences and patience in listening to my challenges while guiding me patiently through his effective questioning has been really effective in helping confront my career and life challenges.

It is my privilege to be his coachee and be given the opportunity to learn from his experience and way of thinking. I enjoyed every coaching session I had with him and always looked forward to future sessions with him. I would highly recommend Dr. Jenson to anyone who is looking for a career or life coach without reservation.

Jenson mentored me under the NUS Uplift Mentorship Programme during 2023. Really grateful for his immense support, invaluable guidance and illuminating advice throughout the duration of the programme.

Beyond his deep experience and expertise in his craft, what touches me most was his passion and compassion, always patiently listening and answering my questions and selflessly sharing his knowledge and experiences. With his mentoring and coaching, I was able to discover deeper insights into myself and my potential that helped me gained greater confidence and belief in myself. Thank you so much!

I was a mentee to Jenson under the Singapore Leaders Network (SGLN) mentoring programme from August 2022 till March 2023. What struck me was his motivation to give back to Singapore; and his personal motivation towards mentoring. In addition to his deep understanding of mental models, change management, systems thinking (and many more), his answers always bring much clarity to my questions. A genuine friend and mentor to have!

I feel privileged to have found Jenson to act as sounding board, guide, and advisor in ongoing digital transformation at my organisation. He not only possesses pertinent knowledge and insights in the subject matter drawn from his deep and wide experience, but also great listening and speaking abilities as well as tact to make every interaction enjoyable and highly impactful. I would highly recommend him to anyone who may need such an advisor, a coach and guide in digital transformation, and other areas related to organisation and individual development!

I was coached personally by Jenson and saw firsthand how devoted he is not only into what he wants to teach from his experiences but even more into what will add more value to me and other co-trainees. He makes this awesome atmosphere where we know that the discussions are about us and not him, and he goes the extra mile in making people feel safe and welcome to share thoughts and ask questions, which to me is what makes his coaching very effective.

Jenson is an excellent lecturer, facilitator and dedicated educator who never ceases to inspire and motivate his students. I have had the pleasure of being in one of his Lego Serious Play class, where his diverse past experiences and knowledge in facilitating and directing made the sessions fun and enjoyable, as well as an enriching one. Even with his extensive experiences, he never fails to continually seek ways to improve his work, to ensure what his students learn and gain is maximised. Being approachable and engaging, our interactions extend far beyond the boundaries of the classroom. I am glad for the opportunity to have had Jenson as a lecturer and privileged to call him a friend.

It has been my pleasure to have Jenson be my personal coach. His perspective has been integrative for the growth that I’m looking for. Being a lateral thinker, Jenson is sharp, observant, and knows how to systematically take our coaching conversations to a level that brings deep insight.
I thoroughly enjoy our interactions, and appreciate his empathy whenever we touch base on issues that need breaking down.
I would highly recommend Jenson to anyone looking for an exec coach.

Dr. Jenson is a driven and dedicated educator who never fails to inspire students like myself. He has a ceaseless attitude towards learning, and while learned he continues to exhibit humility. Such qualities make him a great mentor, not just within the boundaries of the classroom but beyond. Dr. Jenson is one who is generous with sharing his experiences and would patiently offer advice to those who approach him. I had the opportunity to work with him on a research paper previously and through that experience, I was impressed by his command of knowledge, his passion, and dedication. He is truly an asset to his employers and to the people around him.

Dr Jenson is a very focused person who set himself very clearly defined objectives and work earnestly towards achieving it. As a mentor, he had coached me and guided me in accomplishing 2 academic papers for publications. I had enhanced not only my learning skills, but most importantly, my logical thinking skills. These skills have most certainly served me well in my academic journey and in my work.

Jenson is someone I know who is very dedicated to learning. He has a humble personality where he learns from anyone of any age as long as he sees value in them. I especially like to commend on his passion in life. Someone full of passion is always the kind of person you want to work with, I am very proud to have him as a senior in life and someone I can call friend despite his high accreditation and great influence in his current position as a lecturer.

I was given the opportunity to take a module under Dr Jenson which explores the food waste issue in Singapore’s context. Throughout the classes, even though he taught the modules well, he took time and effort to reflect upon each class, asking for our feedback, and wanting to keep improving as an educator. Dr Jenson is also willing to explore different methods to teach, introducing us to Lego Serious Play, a method to creatively look outside the box while honing our presentation skills at the same time. He was one of the most caring professors in NUS as well, keeping in touch with his students even after the module was over, sharing nuggets of wisdom which he has accumulated over the years. Outside of the module, Dr Jenson was also my Residential Fellow, and his caring side showed through. He was more than willing to lend a listening ear when we had troubles, be it academics or personal issues. He also takes part in our house activities whenever he has the time, forging strong relationships with us, not as someone on a pedestal, but as a friend. I am glad to have the opportunity to meet and work with him, and I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

I have had the honour last semester to be part of Dr. Jenson’s class on LEGO Serious Play.

His passion and dedication towards teaching is manifested through the way he conducts his lessons. There were never dull periods in his lessons. Given the nature of LEGO Serious Play sessions, he nurtured a safe space where fellow classmates and I were highly encouraged to speak up and share whilst he lent his undivided attention to each speaker.

Dr Jenson’s care and concern towards his students extend beyond the confines of the classroom pe se with his invaluable advice pertaining to career and even life in general. He is a genuine educator with a warm, approachable disposition. He is a true inspiration to many and I am honoured to have met him as an educator.

I was in Professor Jenson’s Systems Dynamics class when I was a Year 2 Student and he was an incredibly engaging and passionate educator. Apart from making lessons a fun, interactive and conducive environment to engage in collaborative learning, he goes beyond his role as an educator to care about his students’ welfare. A humble teacher who strives for continuous learning and is not afraid to be a student, it has been a great experience to have once been taught by him.

Jenson is one of the most open and knowledgeable professors I know. I had the privilege of taking two modules under Jenson. I have learnt a great deal about applying concepts of systems thinking on sustainability issues that he is truly passionate in. He works diligently to ensure that the class is engaging, supportive and fun for the students. To further refine his skills as an educator, he takes on the role of a learner by constantly seeking feedback from the class. He also ensures that students improve their critical and creative thinking skills through encouraging constant self-reflection: an important life skill. He makes an effort to build rapport with his students and is always looking out for the well-being of his students. With an exceptional blend of knowledge and soft skills, he is an outstanding educator. I am glad to have the opportunity of being under the tutelage of Jenson and am proud to call him a friend.
