Trainers

Patrick Oh is a Singapore Certified Management Consultant who manages his own professional brand and reputation as the principal of SG Venture Consulting. Listed by TUV SUD as a certified consultant, he advises organisations on governance, risk and compliance, corporate compliance, performance management and solutions design. He is a Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) under the IAPP and, according to a training-provider trainer profile, has provided Singapore Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) consultancy for more than 13 years. He also implements and audits ISO management systems, including quality and environmental management and ISO 14064 greenhouse gas accounting, and works in sustainability reporting and community development. Before consulting he spent years as an automation design engineer. His compliance and sustainability work keeps him attentive to how an organisation is perceived by regulators, customers, partners and the public, and to how quickly reputation can shift when promises and practice diverge.

That viewpoint informs his teaching of customer-centric branding and communication. In the stakeholders and organisation unit, Patrick helps learners map the internal and external stakeholders who influence a brand, identify different external audiences, draft branding ideas that highlight a product or service's attributes and benefits, and assess the organisation's reputation on social media and other platforms. In the customer influence unit, he draws on his client-facing consulting to show how customer perceptions shape brand reputation, why active listening matters, and how to document customer reception and the outcomes of branding campaigns. His privacy expertise adds a practical caution: gathering customer insights, running campaigns and engaging on social platforms all involve personal data that must be handled in line with the PDPA. Learners leave able to align brand messaging with customer insight and stakeholder expectations, communicate consistently with internal and external audiences, and track how branding activities are actually received, so that reputation is built deliberately rather than left to chance.

Kishori Chaudhari is an educator, trainer and communication specialist with extensive experience in developing and delivering customer-focused learning solutions. She brings a rich background in service excellence, branding and customer engagement, including experience as a leading stewardess with Singapore Airlines, where she honed premium customer service skills, and as a sous chef at Rang Mahal, overseeing quality, consistency and customer satisfaction. She holds a Master of Arts in TESOL, a Bachelor's degree in Speech and Language Therapy from the University of Manchester, the WSQ ACLP and the WSQ DDDLP, alongside certifications in speech, drama and communication from LAMDA and the London College of Music.

Her career spans roles as a learning solutionist, an assessor for SWDA (formerly SSG)-funded certifiable courses and a trainer across diverse sectors. In Customer-Centric Branding and Communication Tactics, Kishori integrates creativity, empathy and practical technique as learners map internal and external stakeholders, draft branding ideas that highlight product or service benefits, and assess reputation on social media and other platforms. Participants also examine customer perceptions, practise active listening to understand the customer's perspective, plan branding and public relations campaigns aligned with positioning strategy, and monitor brand success against KPIs. Learners leave able to craft brand messages that build trust, enhance brand value and strengthen customer relationships.
