Mike Tang, Examiner, Singapore

Skating was on my bucket list. I learned skating from a professional skate school that adopts ICP program as their teaching model. Within a month, with tons of encouragement from the instructors, I went for the ICP program to 'clean' up my skating skill. I barely passed. But I got in. Into the ICP program which I never knew that I could apply the ICP methodology to so many things. With that, not only did I achieve more in skating; I benefit more in my actual working environment. I was headhunted to a MNC and move into middle management. ICP has help and continue to grow me till now. I am doing what I can to share more about ICP now. Hope all of you can benefit what I have gain and see a deeper part of ICP that many thought is a 'skating' instructor program.
