A Groundbreaking Framework for Modern Leadership

Rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and human development, "MindPowered Coaching for Professionals" presents a science-based methodology that helps individuals and organisations rewire thought patterns, strengthen emotional agility, enhance resilience, and ignite innovation from within.

Building upon more than 40 years of experience in global leadership, organisational development, and talent management, Dr Oh consolidates insights from his tenure at leading institutions, including STATSChipPAC, Linde Group, Chartered Semiconductor, Panalpina-DSV, and Nanyang Technological University, to offer a transformative approach to leadership and performance.

At the heart of this approach lies the concept of cognitive mastery, the cornerstone that elevates traditional leadership development into a deeper, measurable, and future-ready capability. Cognitive mastery is critical for professionals, practitioners, executives, managers, and individuals seeking to transform their performance through talent development, measured by one's SuccessQuotient@Work (McGraw-Hill).

It unlocks innovation by harnessing Multiple Intelligence over Artificial Intelligence, supported by neuroscience and technology. Through the balance of Mind–Emotion–Soul, individuals develop an integrated and holistic operating model that extends beyond the capabilities of computers, robots, and humanoids.

By understanding and applying 22 developmental tools and techniques, together with Wisdom International Group's proprietary Personal and Management Diagnostic Instruments and Profiles, leaders and organisations gain powerful intervention strategies for growth. These tools, combined with psychometric and psychological assessments, strengthen decision-making, close capability gaps, and accelerate development across both 1-to-1 coaching and corporate consultancy environments.

At the core of Dr Oh's message is a powerful premise, "The greatest driver of sustainable business success is not technology but the human mind. When leaders learn to reframe their thinking, reshape culture, and elevate emotional consciousness, innovation becomes inevitable."

22 MindPowered Techniques and Cognitive Mastery Tools

The book introduces 22 MindPowered Techniques across 18 chapters, providing practical and evidence-based strategies for:

  • Leadership transformation
  • Executive and career coaching
  • Organisational development and innovation
  • Emotional intelligence and resilience building
  • ESG and sustainability leadership
  • AGILE and mindset-skillset alignment
  • Cultural transformation and workforce engagement
The framework is supported by diagnostic cognitive tools that assess personality, values, emotional intelligence, resilience, potential, mind–emotion–soul alignment, and behavioural tendencies. These help leaders make informed decisions, close competency gaps, and empower teams to perform at their highest potential.

Addressing Mental Blocks, AI Disruption & the Future of Work

Drawing from neuroscience and behavioural psychology, Dr Oh highlights the mental, emotional, and cognitive stumbling blocks that impede innovation, including stress, anger, learning disorders, emotional struggles, and dissonance. He emphasises how addressing these barriers through cognitive mastery strengthens organisational resilience and adaptability.

A key part of the launch explored the rising role of AI as a partner in coaching, how AI agents can complement human intelligence by amplifying capabilities, improving performance, and supporting human development without replacing human coaches.

Dr Oh also touched on the delicate intersection of AI and mental health, stressing the need for proper guardrails while recognising the potential of AI-powered developmental tools.

Holistic Human Development Beyond the Workplace

The book expands beyond corporate performance to present an integrated mind–emotion–soul pathway, drawing on psychotherapy, neuroscientific therapy, behavioural analysis, mindfulness, and emotional well-being strategies. It covers:

  • Stress and anger management
  • Emotional healing
  • Learning and thought-processing challenges
  • Mindfulness and self-regulation
  • Building personal resilience and mental wellness
This makes the book relevant not only to corporate professionals but also to psychologists, counsellors, adult educators, and individuals seeking personal transformation.

Launch of the MindPowered Coaching Programme

To complement the book, Dr Oh unveiled the MindPowered Coaching Programme 2026, accredited by ICF in partnership with STADA and SUSS–IAL. The programme includes:

  • MindPowered Innovation Workshops
  • Cognitive Mastery Series
  • MindPowered ESG Leadership Modules covering climate strategy, sustainability governance, organisational culture, and workforce influence strategies
These programmes aim to equip leaders and organisations with practical tools to navigate volatility and build high-performance, future-ready teams.
