Eugene's professional speaker showreel.
His words ignited a fire within me.★★★★★Iyaz Waheed, HR AssociationMaldivesGoogle review
At 10, I promised my mother I'd take her around the world.
At 40, I lost the job that paid me well. "Too old." "Overpaid."
So I chose the harder path — I became a speaker.
Two years speaking for free. Three kids, surviving on food coupons given by the government.
That season didn't break me. It made me stronger.
The profession I once spoke in for free later asked me to lead it.
President of Asia Professional Speakers Singapore, 2025–2026 — representing 250 speakers from 18 countries.
And a CSP (Certified Speaking Professional), an accreditation earned by the very best in the speaking profession.
Today I speak across the world to help spread the abundance mindset at conferences and companies, to help them create unlimited possibilities in the age of AI.
Along the way I wrote Superbrand Me, and designed Choosing Abundance — a card deck coaches and facilitators now use to start the conversations that matter.
(And yes, I fulfilled my promise to take my mom around the world.)
