LEADERS WHO HAVESTARTED RIGHT

Co-founderofFugeeSchool&MissUniverseMalaysia2011Deborah Priya Henry

Entrepreneur,Philanthropist,Founder&CEOofMindvalleyVishen Lakiani*Mindvalleywasvotedasoneoftheworld’sTop10coolestofficesin2012.

“When I think back to my time at Taylor’s College, I am reminded of the fun and effective lecturers, the interesting courses and skills I gained - the ability to articulate oneself, see things from different perspectives and to have an opinion. Today I find, regardless of what I do and whom I met it’s these skills that have enabled me to find success in all areas of my life.”

“We want to connect smart young people togetherto create new ideas that will turn KL into one of theworld’s top start-up hubs in 10 years - similar to themodel I used in Taylor’s College in 1994.”

HeadofGrouponAsiaPacific,GrouponAPACJoel Neoh

“Taylor’s College helped me realise the importance of embracing curiosity at an early age. Students were encouraged to explore,to discover, to questions and to lead projects. The simple, childlike curiosity to always want to know more, learn more, do more, see more, and ultimately achieve more - was the foundation to the educational experience for students in Taylor’s College. My one year in Taylor’s College opened up my eyes to the importance of being curious, which is the foundation of all entrepreneurship.”

Founder&CEOofEPICCollaborativeJohn-Son Oei

“Taylor’s College helped me understand that learning was beyond books and academic success. I learned that a huge part of effective communication is to understand your audience and at Taylor’s College I have developed a sense of empathy and adaptability towards other cultures which enhanced my communication and presentation skills. Taylor’s College had also given me the chance to realise my leadership potential.”


TeachForMalaysia2013Fellow,MinistryofEducationWan Farihah Ahmad Fahmy

“In a nutshell, my Taylor’s College experience can be summed up in three words: education, excellence, and experience. Serving as a teacher in a high-need rural school, I strive every day to not only make my History classes engaging and interesting for my students but most importantly, I try to instill in them all the values that Taylor’s College taught me: hard work, self-belief, determination, dedication, and the importance of education as a tool for one’s life enrichment.”

Founder&DirectorofDelectablebySu&DelectableTreatsHuen Su Yin

PostdoctoralResearchAssociate,NortheasternUniversity,USAYan Yan Yeap

“The short duration in Taylor’s College got me into University much quicker. It gave me a head start and through the flexibility of my classes, it had definitely encouraged the development of my social skills and increased my aspirations to discover more in the world. When I enrolled, I didn’t exactly know what I wanted to study at my tertiary level of education but when I was done with Taylor’s Pre-U,I knew I wanted to do more, go further and discovernew adventures.”

“It was under the encouraging environment at Taylor’s College that I developed a non-yielding commitment for excellence, which I believe served as a foundation for all my life achievements thereafter. Life has turned out to be a remarkable journey for me, and I have no doubt it all started at Taylor’s College.”

LEADERS WHO HAVESTARTED RIGHT

Founder&GroupManagingDirectorofIntegricityGroupAlex Lam

“The one year I spent in Taylor’s College is still recounted with fondness. Looking back in time, the analytical thought process and experience I gained was extremely valuable to my ability to efficiently run and own an array of companies today that provides creative, technology, event and visual services to many of the top brands in Malaysia.”

“My best years in life were spent during IB diploma programme at Taylor’s College. Personally, IB forced me to stretch out beyond my comfort zone - to pursue knowledge beyond the subjects I was comfortable with, to develop salient links between vastly distinct fields, and to think about how classroom theories could be relevant in the real world. My classmates and I went for an international trip to Cambodia to help communities repair classroom roofs, build a library, and prepare soil for fruit gardens. It was a great chance for us to serve others and it made a difference in my learning experience.”
