Christina Kuek Head of Human Resources LGT Bank (SG) Ltd

“I've found your workshop very engaging and practical. I enjoyed your energizing games and the various group discussions that could enable participants to share experiences and views. I‟ve also picked up more skills and techniques to control my emotions better and be more patient in listening.”

Ailene Lee Vice President of Sales Sales & Marketing Division Singapore Post

“The time spent with you is definitely value for money! I have learnt to be a much better leader after doing my EQ and other Personality profile, especially coping with stress and learning how to further leverage on my strength. With that I am confident that I can excel very well in any organization. Great training and great guidance! Thanks!”

Fion Leow Legal Executive Singapore Institute of Technology

“An outstanding workshop! It has taught me to manage or regulate myself more effectively and deepen my self-awareness. During the workshop, the content discussions, activities and self-understanding check had challenged my thinking throughout the sessions and deepened my understanding of myself.”

Tan Teck Yiang Regional Mobile Sales Specialist, Singtel

“Granville is a very passionate trainer who genuinely wants to pass on his knowledge and tools to his workshop attendees for their benefit in their personal and professional lives. He makes everyone in the class feel comfortable and engages at the personal level, even willing to discuss and help special cases outside of workshop hours. I would highly recommend Dr D’Souza and his workshops as he has so much knowledge and experience to share and to help.”

Thng Wen You Senior Executive of National University of Singapore

“Dr Granville isn’t afraid of the good, the bad or the ugly situations that may happened in life. He willing shares personal experiences about issues in the past, which may have profound shaped individuals to be the way they are now. A very humble and approachable man, Granville’s workshop is very interactive and very open. Oftentimes filled with laughter, and even chills when they concern the paranormal. The Life Experiences are distilled and presented as ‘stories’ to enthral you.”

Patrick Hefti Head of Securities & Client Operations, LGT Bank (SG) Ltd

"Thanks for the course and I really enjoyed the two days. I found your overall program very good (as well as your presentations) and it provides a lot of useful input to improve my overall EQ.”

Cindy Tien AIM IAT, ACTA Senior Consultant & Corporate Trainer IMAGEWORKS PTE LTD

“EQ training has always been something that I wanted to explore, and when I found (through Google) that EQ Asia was offering a certification training in this topic, I jumped at the opportunity. Granville took on my enquiry on email and was very patient in responding to all my questions in multiple emails, he was also generous in sharing his thoughts about what’s relevant in the current marketplace. This is a 5-day course which means that the venue was critical. EQ Asia was considerate in choosing a lovely hotel that provided a good learning environment and located near an MRT station. The materials given as part of the program were definitely more than expected – From the training slides, to the facilitator guide and learners’ workbook. We were also given Granville’s book as a resource and a list of 50 activities which EQ trainers can use. As this is a train-the-trainer program, I believe that the expectations from some of the participants were higher than normal. Both trainers of the program – Granville and Marion, were extremely knowledgeable as well as experienced in the industry, and were able to articulate each learning activity and concept clearly, while patiently answering all our questions and explaining how we can contextualize the training or coaching in difference scenarios. They partnered really well together and were also fun-loving, bringing much laughter to the training, and allowing the participants to blossom in a safe and comfortable environment. The training was filled with authenticity which made the learners open up to share generously with each other. I’m definitely grateful that I attended the training and I would do it all over again. Thanks Granville and Marion!”

Christian Choo Managing Partner ZigZag Learning

“Granville and Marion were authentic and engaging in the way they facilitated the programme over the 5 days; modelling EQ and adopting an experiential approach to create a safe yet intense learning environment. Beyond the content, they generously offered wisdom gleaned from their own challenges and reversals in life, which truly resonated with me. The programme was particularly effective in helping me understand my reactions under stressful circumstances and provided a framework to rethink my responses. Seeing the shift in myself and the other participants, as we used and practiced the skills learnt during the programme, really convinced me that EQ can have a significant impact on the performance of individuals, teams and organisations. Clearly, EQ is not just “mollycoddling at the workplace”, but there are concrete competencies and skill-sets that I can learn and apply.”

Candice Cheng General Manager, Corporate Training Greater China CHANEL Limited

“EQ is a subject that has always been close to my heart. I decided to sign up for the EQ Facilitation and Coach Certification immediately after I read the brochure and I’m certainly glad I’ve made the right choice. Granville and Marion have shared and given us wholeheartedly in terms of knowledge, materials, their experiences and these are all packaged in an experiential programme which is not only fulfilling but meaningful. It was also a great place to meet like-minded course mates. I’m truly inspired… a million thanks for this ‘gift’ I’ve received.”

Richard Matthias Lee Life & Performance Coach Rich Coaching & Associates

“Dr Granville and Marion were an excellent team! They were very knowledgeable, had such depth of experiences and stories to share, and most of all, they were very open and patient with us as we were so eager to learn more. They were also very supportive and shared many tips and tools to aid us in the journey in EQ facilitation and training needs. The EQCP model designed by Dr Granville Marion & team is rich in content, applicable, yet succinct and easy to understand.”

Ma Tien Toi EQ Trainer & Coach Vietnam

“Integrating cutting edge neuroscience and powerful activities, this process will forever change the way we understand ourselves and our relationships. I will bring this program to Vietnam. Granville is not only an admirable EQ leader but also a great coach. I am really impressed with his years of experience and his proven methods.”

Dr Choo Keang Hai Co-Managing Director Lee & Lee Dental Surgeons Pte Ltd

“A lot of us, me included, attended a course on EQ by Marion without knowing what to expect. In fact we all were not sure on the effectiveness of it. In the end I found it very useful and made me more critical of my actions and words when dealing with people. She made the course very lively with lots of engaging exercise and games. Having a seminar in the afternoon after a meal is not easy but she managed to keep everyone interested and awake for the whole duration! Kudos to her. Applying what I learnt now in my everyday affair.”

Really enjoyed the session! The facilitators were very spontaneous and used many real-life examples instead of just sharing theories. You can really tell they have deep knowledge and experience in Enneagram, especially when it comes to understanding human behaviour, which can be complex. I was impressed by how they explained everything in such a simple and relatable way.

I also got to understand myself better and why people around me behave and communicate differently. It helped me become more empathetic and more aware of how I communicate with others.

Highly recommended for anyone who is curious to learn more about themselves, understand others better, and improve their communication skills. Definitely a go-to programme. Thank you, Dr Granville and Alicia, for the insightful and enjoyable session!

Andy Quek

Compliance Officer, Financial Services

The Enneagram Level 2 course with Alicia and Dr. Granville was truly transformative! Their depth of knowledge and engaging teaching style made complex concepts easy to grasp. The course went beyond surface-level theory, providing practical tools and insights to apply the Enneagram in everyday life.

Both instructors were warm, approachable, and eager to answer questions, creating a safe space for deeper exploration. I left with a much richer understanding of my type and how it shows up in relationships and growth. Highly recommend this course for anyone ready to take their Enneagram journey to the next level! 

Kenny Lim

Financial Services Senior Director & Multi-Business Founder

I recently completed the Enneagram Level 3 course with EQ World, and it was an exceptional experience. The course was not only deeply insightful but also highly practical. The integration of the Enneagram with emotional intelligence principles provided a comprehensive understanding of both self-awareness and interpersonal dynamics. I particularly appreciated the focus on “Passion by Type” and the “Importance of Instinct”, which offered profound insights into how our core motivations shape our behaviors. The EQ Competency Framework was a standout element, providing clear guidance on developing emotional intelligence in real-world scenarios. Additionally, learning about the “4 Stages of Team Development” helped me better understand group dynamics and how to lead teams more effectively.

Both trainers Dr Gran & Alicia were knowledgeable, engaging, and provided clear, actionable steps to apply the learning in both personal and professional contexts. I found the exercises, especially the coaching techniques, to be incredibly valuable. Overall, it was a well-structured, impactful course that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the Enneagram and enhance their emotional intelligence.

Irfaan Fauzi

Vice President, Academy for Distributors' Development, HSBC Life Insurance

I’ve completed Levels 1, 2, and 3 with them, and each time, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The team is so warm, so welcoming, and what I really appreciate is how non-judgmental and inclusive they are. Whether you’re new to the Enneagram or have been studying it for a while, they make you feel completely at home.

I always walk away with deeper awareness, practical tools, and a whole lot of “aha!” moments. It’s not just theory—they really help you apply it in real life. Big thank you to Gran wnd Alicia. Keep doing what you do. You’re making a real difference in people’s lives—and I’m grateful to be on this journey with you. Two thumbs up!

Vindce Aw

Marketing Manager, Penta-Ocean Construction

Before discovering the Enneagram, I always saw myself as a fun, easygoing and jovial person. I thought being “fun” was simply a positive trait — something that made people enjoy being around me. As a core Type 7, I believed that everything in my life had to be fun — otherwise I would quickly lose interest or disengage.

What I didn’t realise was that even “fun” has different levels. Through the Enneagram, I learnt that there is a difference between developed and undeveloped expressions of it. Looking back, I began to recognise that my version of “fun” was sometimes a way to avoid discomfort, deflect deeper emotions, or keep things light so I didn’t have to face what was really going on.

At the same time, I started to notice something else — some of my friends were slowly distancing themselves, and I didn’t fully understand why. I would often reframe it as them being busy, but deep down, something didn’t quite sit right.

Through the Enneagram and EQ World’s programmes, I began to see myself more clearly. I realised that my energy could sometimes come across as too intense or overwhelming. When things didn’t go my way, I could become a stronger, more controlling version of myself without even being aware of it.

That was quite a confronting but important realisation — understanding that it wasn’t just circumstances, but also how I was showing up.

What I appreciated about EQ World’s approach is that it wasn’t judgmental. Instead, it gave me the language and awareness to understand my patterns, pause, and choose how I want to respond.

More importantly, I’ve come to realise that fun doesn’t always have to come from what I’m doing — it’s also about how I experience things. Even routine or challenging situations can be meaningful and enjoyable when I show up differently.

Over time, I’ve become more grounded, more present, and less forceful in how I interact with others. And interestingly, I began to see changes in my relationships as well — friends started coming back, and many have shared that they find me more approachable and easier to connect with now.

Today, I still value being fun and light-hearted, but it comes from a more developed and conscious place. I’m more intentional, more aware of myself and others, and better able to manage how I show up. This journey has been deeply meaningful, both personally and professionally, and I’m grateful for the growth it has brought into my life.

Sebastian Ong

Director, Empathica Pte Ltd

I attended the WSQ Negotiation with Enneagram course with Dr Gran and Alicia. I thought I was just going to learn my type, but it went deeper. I now understand my patterns and defence mechanisms, and I catch myself when I slip into default so I can adjust how I communicate.

The session was engaging and practical. The stories made each type easy to recognise, and I could apply it immediately.

I signed up for the Enneagram practitioner program after the course to upgrade myself.

Cindy Tien

Speaker, Executive Coach, and Author of InSide: Break Through Your BS to Influence Yourself

I entered the speaking and coaching industry the way a lot of driven people do — by doing more, learning more, and hustling more.

I thought the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be could be closed with sheer effort. What I didn’t realise was that my addiction to achievement was the gap.

That’s what the Enneagram showed me — and specifically, what Granville and the EQ World team helped me see. Not through dry theory, but through powerful storytelling, rich content, and the facilitation that makes you feel safe enough to be honest with yourself.

From one-day workshops to multi-day certifications, every programme gave me something I could immediately apply — first to my own development, and then to the leaders and teams I work with. EQ World’s Enneagram programmes gave me self-insight. It gave me a language for the patterns I couldn’t see and the courage to do something about them.

Today, I’m able to speak, train and coach leaders and corporate teams with conviction — and the Enneagram is woven through all of it. Granville, you and the EQ World team changed the trajectory of my life. And I don’t say that lightly.

Ellie Tay

Senior Financial Consultant

Attended level 1 and level 2 of the Enneagram courses and it exceeded all my expectations! What was especially meaningful for me is that it deepened my self-understanding, highlighting how we can remain true to our core type while adapting to various scenarios. The conversations with the group were very interesting too. This has helped me greatly when interacting with the people around me, helping me at work and to understand my loved ones better too. The instructors did an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand models, presenting them in a clear, step-by-step structure that I didn’t think was possible. This course is truly worth exploring!

Naomi Chua

Associate Director, Excelsior Financial

Amazing experience as always delivered by Gran & Alicia. I have interacted with EQ world since 2019 and their people-centered approach has differentiated them greatly from other enneagram providers. I have taken enneagram lvl 1 and 2 with them and will consider the lvl 3 next year. Love the no-nonsense pragmatic approach. I would strongly recommend their service to anyone who wish to have breakthroughs in personal growth, leadership or people management skills.

Eunice Boh

Deputy Director, Enterprise Technology and Architecture, Public Sector

Taking the Enneagram Level 3 Practitioner course with Gran and Alicia was truly a game-changer. Their depth of knowledge, intuitive facilitation, and warm presence made the learning experience rich and impactful. This course helped me uncover emotional patterns, recognize blind spots, and gain clarity on how I show up — both for myself and others. I walked away not just with insights, but with practical tools to maximize my potential and help others do the same. If you’re ready for deep transformation and real self-leadership, this course is it. Thank you, Gran and Alicia, for creating such a safe and powerful space for growth!

Stuart Shee

Senior Director & Founder of AiS

I recently had the privilege of spending a few precious days with an incredible group of people at the Enneagram Level 2 course.

In a world where many are moving fast but not necessarily growing, this experience was a powerful reminder of the importance of deep self-understanding.

Because growth is not just about doing more. It is about seeing more—about becoming more aware of who we are, how we show up, and why we do what we do.

If you are looking to fast-track both your personal and professional growth, this is more than just a course—it is a transformative journey.

My heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Gran and Alicia for guiding us with such depth, wisdom, and genuine passion. Their ability to create both clarity and breakthrough is truly remarkable.

Grateful for the experience, the insights, and the people.

Tricia Lee

Director of Comms & Marketing, Community Foundation of Singapore

Just completed 4 amazing days of High Performance Coaching with Enneagram (Level 2) with Alicia and Granville.

I came in expecting a few practical tools and perhaps a clearer structure to what I already “knew” from the first course. I did not expect to have my mind blown.

A large part of why this experience was so impactful comes down to Gran and Alicia. They are highly engaging and clearly deeply immersed in their work. More than just delivering content, they hold the space with intention and have so many great examples and stories that bring the content to life.

They also created an environment that felt safe to explore and be vulnerable.

If you want to learn an incredible way to be a better person and improve your interpersonal relationships i highly recommend signing up for one of their courses.

Jacqueline Chow

Director at PFPFA

I just completed High Performance Coaching with Enneagram Level 2, and I have to say this was on a completely different level. Dr Gran and Alicia are exceptional coaches. What stood out most was not just their depth of knowledge, but their ability to translate the Enneagram into practical, high-performance application. This wasn’t theory for the sake of theory. Every concept was tied back to real-life coaching, leadership, and decision-making.

Dr Gran brings a very sharp, structured perspective. You can tell there is a strong foundation behind everything he teaches. The way he breaks down patterns, motivations, and blind spots is precise and insightful. Alicia complements that perfectly with her ability to bring warmth, intuition, and real human understanding into the room. She has a way of making complex dynamics feel very clear and relatable, especially in live coaching situations.

What I appreciated most are the depth of the Enneagram beyond surface-level typing, how to identify real drivers, not just behaviours, practical coaching frameworks that I can immediately apply and thhe balance between structure and intuition

This course stretched my thinking and sharpened how I observe, question, and guide others. It’s not just about becoming a better coach, it’s about becoming far more aware of how people actually operate. Highly recommended for anyone serious about coaching, leadership, or understanding people at a much deeper level!
