HISTORY
Yellowshorts Consulting is the brainchild of founder and principal trainer, NICHOLAS CHAN; having spent many formative years in various industries ranging from logistics to IT.
Then having discovered the teaching, training & development profession quite serendipitously, Nicholas has spent the last 8 years lecturing, teaching and training in various fields; using the platform and experience given to him within the industry to create new teaching and training methodologies, combining a blend of pedagogical, experiential and existential context.
Yellowshorts has in the past 3 years since its inception, created a niche market & excellent track record for customized training programmes for the education and training industry, even moving beyond the shores of Malaysia to countries such as China, Indonesia, Iran, Maldives, and Mauritius.
METHODOLOGY
The base methodology of Yellowshorts Consulting for their current product range is based on Ned Hermann’s Whole Brain Dominance model; Ned Herrmann is "Father of brain dominance technology". He drew on the work of Sperry and developed the theory brain dominance where people develop a dominant mode of thinking preference.
These can range from an analytical "LEFT BRAIN" APPROACH TO "RIGHT BRAIN" approaches involving pattern matching and intuitive understanding. These preferences have their roots in our genetic makeup and how it affects our underlying cognitive capabilities. For example left-right handed preferences have been observed in the womb. As we develop we tend to respond with our strongest abilities as these lead to quicker short-term rewards. This can create a positive feedback system that will strengthen those abilities.
