THE FRAMEWORK

What POPP^™ stands for

Performance is not just skills and targets. It starts with how people think, relate and respond under pressure.

POPP Psychology of People and Performance framework

Leadership & Team Misalignment

When leaders and teams pull in different directions, effort is wasted and trust erodes.

Disengaged Teams

People show up but hold back. Energy, ideas and initiative quietly drain away.

Owning Outcome / Growth

Turn people who wait for direction into people who take responsibility for results.

Inability to Perform Under Pressure

When workloads and expectations rise, capable people freeze, clash or burn out.

We really enjoyed your session in Penang last year and this year in Singapore. We will definitely be seeing more of you. Great job.

Jefferson Millama Manager and Head Counsellor · MOE School Cockpit Accenture Technology Solutions, Singapore

Thanks a lot for the inspiring talk yesterday and you made everyone filled with fun and joy and at the same time sent a deep message as a wake up call. You were just amazing and I am so impressed with your style and delivery. Once again thank you and hope we will keep in touch.

Rahima Ibrahim Human Resource Director Siemens Malaysia

Thank you Suresh, for a very fruitful and meaningful session. I think the best part of the program was us getting to know our individual personalities and how we could leverage on each other’s strengths. It is also important for us in leadership to realise how personality impacts work style and organizational culture. I am sure everyone found it insightful and eye opening as did I. I would like you to conduct the same session for our counterparts in Thailand. I think they will really benefit from it. Great work and thank you once again.

Lim Yew Hoe CEO Fraser and Neave Holdings Berhad

Suresh your online session was excellent! You did an amazing job. We were engaged all the way. I laughed so much and almost fell off my chair. My team really enjoyed your session. I made sure I attended the session when I found out it was you. Our team always looks forward to your sessions. Online or in class you are just amazing. Thank you so much. We really had a lot of fun.

Chua Chai Ping Regional HR Director Experian Malaysia

Another fantastic job Suresh. All our Group Agency Managers loved your session, especially when you shared real market insights and client sentiments for our industry. Our GAMs told our CEO that we must call you yet again to address our national sales congress. We normally invite different speakers every year, but you are the first speaker that we are inviting twice. This live event was even better. Thank you and wish you all the best.
