Unleashing The Superhero In You
We are extremely thankful to have had the opportunity to run 7,000 participants through our Superhero simulation virtual team building for a leading national telecommunications company in the last month. In this simulation, we created a universe full of superheroes with accompanying supervillains that our participants have to defeat. We managed to get these highly motivated people to adopt their ‘Superhero’ personas and rush in to complete different challenges that we have simulated for them, in our ‘Virtual Universe’ where Resilience, Creativity, Emotional Control & Teamwork will be needed for them to fight off a planetary threat! Our participants learn how to bond together and use their individual strengths to defeat the enemies. We are Grateful to have Impacted Lives over the course of this program – Equipping them with the Motivation, Leadership Direction & Skills to Create more Positive Impact through their work. We would like to give a shoutout to all our trainers and facilitators a.k.a. Headmasters and Seniors of our Thrivers club, and everyone that has supported us to have made this a success. We look forward to more of this program to come! If you are interested, contact us at whatsup@thrivingtalents.com to help your organization discover the superheroes within!
Public Program – Future Of Work Series: Introduction To VR & AR
What Is Virtual Reality (VR)? Virtual Reality (VR) is the most exciting new technology on the planet right now. It offers a whole new way to view things – whether it be watching movies, playing games, or learning new skills. It is a technology that creates a virtual world or environment which can be experienced through a headset like the Oculus Quest or Google Cardboard. VR enables you to experience places, people, events, etc., in the real world from the comfort of your own home. VR is being used to promote businesses. For example, companies like Coca Cola, Samsung and the NBA are using it to advertise their products and brands. It is also being used to teach children about science, technology, math, sports, business, and many other things. What Is Augmented Reality (AR)? Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that brings the digital and physical worlds together. AR can be used to enhance real world experience. It helps us to see the real world with virtual objects or data overlaid on top of it. AR can be used to enhance marketing and communications, especially in games, training, and retail. Thriving Talents is planning to run an introductory public program for AR &VR. In this course, you will: Learn how to use VR in your business and how it can benefit your company in many ways. Learn how to author an interactive VR environment and experience it in a storytelling format. Learn how AR can be used to enhance marketing and communications. Learn how to create interactive AR cards to spice up your conversation.

Key Offering Programs For The New Normal
As we approach the new normal, one of the organisation’s challenges is to adjust and adapt to a new business environment. This often involves deciding how teams meet, communicate, and collaborate with one another. Young emerging leaders need to adjust their own behaviours and develop teams in innovative ways within the organisation. Therefore, organisations cannot afford to ignore the development of their High Potentials (Hi-Pos). With our customers, we are devoted to mobilising and developing their high-potentials, and we have devised a very innovative development programme specifically for them. As a result of incorporating the most recent developments in design thinking and innovation, the Hi-Pos are expected to get a Return On Investment (ROI) of at least 200 percent when they execute their prototypes in the real world. The following are examples of innovative development options: Experiences that are gamified Design Thinking workshops, prototyping, and Go-To-Market strategies are all examples of what we do. Making a presentation to Senior Management, and Board of Directors Benchmarking Meetings in Virtual Reality for Collaboration A.I.-powered role-playing simulations If you are interested, contact us at whatsup@thrivingtalents.com to find out more!
