What is
POTENTIAL MATRIX?
- The Potential Matrix™ is a globally researched and used personal development model which enhances a person’s potential to achieve their desired success in life and at work
- The Potential Matrix™ model was first presented in 2012 in the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland as a model for ‘Human Capital Development’ i.e. ‘Personal Development for You’
- The model had since been elaborated in the ‘Potential Matrix(™)’ book, while seminars, workshops and human resources trainings have been done to companies and to the general public since 2012
- Fortune 100 companies like Microsoft and Intel have since engaged the creators to share about the Potential Matrix(™) with their staffs in boosting their Productivity and Profitability
- The Potential Matrix(™) has been regarded as ‘The’ learning model to produce ‘Super Achievers’ and have been featured prominently in CEOs, Human Resources, Governmental and Youth Talents seminars across 38 countries featuring the book’s creators
The challenge: develop an original model that provides concrete strategies for emerging achievers like you.
