"The Wall In Life Separate Those Who Want It and Those Who Want It Badly"
Dr. Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
Since our humble beginning in 2002, the company has grown strength-to-strength. Till date we had worked with more than 20,000 youths. With our expansion into Primary Schools and Corporate World, we are set to see further growth.
Through our interactions with schools and their quest for a more developmental approach to leadership development, we had developed our "Leadership Pinnacle" model. This is an unique in-house researched and developed model using the UDL approach: Unified, Developmental and Layered. The model provides a platform for a whole school holistic and developmental approach to leadership training.
Our Corporate Division had grown into a full pledge company, "Horizons Training". It will extend to the corporate world our unique approach of "Awareness The Fun Way", facilitating meetings through activities and as well as coaching trainings.
2009 is predicted to be a financially challenging year. We believe this is the time for more care, support and growth. The company will continue to focus our effort in research, development and growing our staff to deliver even more effective as well as impactful trainings.
Together, I am confident and certain we can scale the "wall" of 2009.

The Absorbent Mind was honored to be invited by The People’s Association Youth Movement (PAYM) to deliver a workshop titled ‘Support from Within: Peer Mentoring for Students’ at the inaugural Service Learning Festival.
Peer mentoring is an empowering relationship between the mentor and the mentee. This interactive and hands-on session highlights a set of conversation that effectively creates empowerment and ownership for the mentee. These conversations also translate telling and advise to questions and encouragement where mentors can immediately apply.
"The workshop was very well received by the participating SLC members. We believe that the students have benefited very much from the session and this will help to enhance their service-learning journeys as they embark on another year with the PAYM Service-Learning Club programme."
