IAL Speaker Series: ‘The Dimensional Facets of an Adult Educator’ by Mr Jix Sze, Author of ‘Chasing the Dragon Out: An inspiring story of a drug addict’s altered destiny.’

Learning has become an imperative part of our everyday life. Learning for employment and employability success, for mental and emotional well-being and coping with living well through one’s life span. At the heart of organised learning, lies one crucial stakeholder–the educators/trainers. Their expertise, experience, commitment and mindset for change and progression–is pivotal for success in bringing value to learners and affecting a positive impact through the human touch. Consequently, also contributing value as a member to their organisation and sector.

In this talk, Jix will weave in his life story transformation. How from a heroin addict with only a PSLE certificate, poor command in English and once an odd job labourer, succeeding against the odds since 1978 and today is an entrepreneur, trainer and author. Come listen to Jix on why he has chosen Education and Training as his choice for career and how his life experience has helped him progress steadily throughout the years to eventually become a Managing Partner of his own training consultancy: Jix Sze & Partners LLP.
