The MindAct Method

Evidence over hype. Systems over slogans.

There's no shortcut worth selling. What works is a system you can run on the days you don't feel like it — built for the Malaysian context and backed by how people actually learn and change.

Evidence-based

We build on research — the forgetting curve, transfer of learning, and what the science actually says — not motivational myths.

Practical & concrete

Every dream gets a price tag; every session gets an outcome. You leave with tools you can use immediately, not vague inspiration.

Made for Malaysia

Local examples, local ambition, ringgit-real planning. Content that speaks to where you live and work — not a translated import.

Ivan Chong

TTT-Certified Trainer Engineer by profession Founder of MindAct

Ivan spent years in a stable engineering career that looked good on paper and felt hollow in practice. There was no shortcut out — only a system he built, tested on himself, and refined into MindAct. Today he blends an engineer's structured thinking with evidence on how people actually learn and change.

"Anyone selling you a shortcut is selling a scam. What works is a system — one you can run on the days you don't feel like it."

What Participants Say

Real shifts, in their words.

★★★★★

"I walked in with five vague dreams and walked out with a costed 90-day plan. Putting a ringgit figure on each goal changed everything — suddenly it wasn't a fantasy, it was a project."

★★★★★

"As an in-house trainer, Mastery to Train was a wake-up call. I'd been blaming my learners for forgetting — turns out I was designing sessions against the way memory works. My retention scores are up."

Wong Kai Meng
L&D Officer, Penang
★★★★★

"No hype, no fluff — just a clear system and a trainer who's obviously lived it. Ivan's engineering brain shows: everything connects and everything is practical."

Stop Drifting.
Start Living On Purpose.

You have ambition. But ambition without direction is just energy with nowhere to go. MindAct gives you the framework to convert intent into real results — consistently.

The Method

The CPO Method

Three principles. One system. Built for driven young Malaysians who are tired of going in circles and ready to move with intention.

C

Consistency

Success is not built in bursts. It is built in the unglamorous daily reps — the decisions you make when no one is watching and nothing feels urgent. Consistency is the foundation.

P

Persistence

Every goal worth having has friction. Persistence is the skill of staying in the game when progress is invisible, when doubt is loudest, when quitting feels logical.

O

Objective Action

Emotion is information, not instruction. Objective action means moving toward your goal based on strategy — not mood, not fear, not what others think you should do.

1-Day Workshop

Dream Life Hacked

A structured, high-energy workshop that takes you from vague ambition to a concrete, personalised action plan — using the CPO Method as your operating system.

  • Clarify your Dream Life Foundation — what you actually want, not what you were told to want
  • Build a real Dream Life Plan with timelines and milestones you'll actually follow
  • Develop Real Life Adaptation skills for when the plan meets reality
  • Lock in your CPO system so you keep moving after the workshop ends

About Ivan

Trained to Train.
Built to Guide.

I am an accredited Train the Trainer (TTT) facilitator and the founder of MindAct. I built this brand because I kept meeting driven young people — ambitious, energetic, full of potential — who were still stuck. Not for lack of effort. For lack of direction.

MindAct is my answer to that gap. The CPO Method is the framework I wish I had in my own journey — stripped of fluff, grounded in reality, and designed to produce results that actually stick.

  • Accredited Train the Trainer (TTT)
  • Founder, MindAct
  • Production Engineer
  • Creator, CPO Method for young professionals aged 18–30

Mastery to Train

Most training is forgotten within days — not because trainers lack passion, but because sessions are designed against how memory works. Learn what the evidence actually says, and become the trainer whose lessons stick.

💰 RM 199 🎓 3 Core Modules 🧠 Evidence-Based 👩‍🏫 For Trainers & L&D
The Uncomfortable Truth

Your learners forget most of
what you teach. Fast.

Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve (1885) — replicated by Murre & Dros in 2015 — shows that without reinforcement, a large share of new material is lost within a day. Meanwhile, application of training on the job decays sharply within a year of the event.

The good news: this is a design problem, not a talent problem. Spaced reinforcement, retrieval practice, and transfer design measurably flatten the curve — and they can be learned.

100% 0% without review with spaced reviews review points
The Curriculum

Three modules, zero myths

Every claim in this program is either backed by named research — or flagged honestly as a myth trainers should stop repeating.

01

Why Most Training Doesn't Stick

The transfer-of-learning problem and the forgetting curve — and the design fixes with real evidence behind them.

  • How fast learners actually forget (and why)
  • Why one-day events fail without follow-up
  • Spaced reinforcement & retrieval practice
  • Recruiting managers into the transfer system
02

Learning Style Spotlight

What TTT programs traditionally teach about VAK learning styles — versus what the research actually found.

  • The learning styles myth, examined honestly
  • What Pashler et al. (2008) actually concluded
  • Matching modality to content, not learners
  • Dual coding & cognitive load essentials
03

The Master Trainer Edge

The facilitation skills that separate presenters from trainers whose sessions change behaviour.

  • Presenting vs facilitating vs training
  • Question techniques that hold a room
  • Handling difficult participants gracefully
  • Debriefs that convert insight into action
Who This Is For

Built for people who train people

Aspiring trainers

Start your training career on evidence, not inherited myths — and skip years of trial-and-error in front of live audiences.

HR & L&D professionals

Stop paying for training that evaporates. Learn to design and buy programs that transfer to real job behaviour.

Common Questions

Before you ask

No. The program runs foundational to professional. New trainers get the right foundation from day one; experienced trainers get the evidence layer most TTT programs skip.
It will upgrade it. We keep what works (facilitation structures, session design) and honestly correct what research has overturned — like the learning styles myth — so you can teach with credibility.
Evidence-based doesn't mean academic. Every research finding is paired with a practical tool: a debrief model, a question ladder, a spaced follow-up template you can use in your very next session.
Launch pricing for the founding cohort. Early participants help refine the program — and lock in the founding rate.

2-DAY LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT INTENSIVE · HRD CORP CLAIMABLE

The work made you a manager. This makes you a leader.

You were promoted because you were excellent at the job. Nobody taught you the new job — leading the people who now do it. In two focused days, learn to read your people, flex your leadership style, hold the conversations you've been avoiding, and leave with a 90-day plan your boss will notice.

🎓 HRD Corp Claimable ⏰ 14 Contact Hours 👥 Capped at 20 Participants 🏠 In-House & Public Runs
Be Honest With Yourself

Leading people was never in the job description — until it was.

If three or more of these sound familiar, this programme was built for you. Not because you're a bad leader — because no one ever trained you to be a good one.

It's faster if I just do it myself.
So you're still the team's best worker — and its biggest bottleneck.
My best person feels micromanaged. My newest feels lost.
One leadership style, six different people. It can't work — and it isn't.
I keep postponing that difficult conversation.
And every week it waits, it gets more expensive — for both of you.
Everyone nods in the meeting. Then nothing changes.
Agreement isn't commitment. There's a way to get real ownership.
I lead the way my old bosses led me — good and bad.
Trial-and-error leadership, paid for by your team's patience.
The team runs on my energy. I can't switch off.
That's not leading. That's carrying — and it doesn't scale.
The Cost of Waiting

Untrained leadership doesn't stand still. It compounds.

Every month of guesswork has a price — and it's rarely the leader who pays first.

Your team pays

People quit managers, not companies.

Good people rarely leave over salary alone. They leave when they feel micromanaged, invisible, or stuck — three things untrained leadership produces by default.

Your career pays

This is where promotions stall.

The step from "great at the work" to "trusted with people" is the hardest jump in any career. Leadership skill is the tiebreaker — and it's visible within weeks.

You pay

Running on adrenaline isn't a system.

Late nights redoing the team's work. Dreading Monday's conversation. Carrying every decision. It's exhausting, it's common — and it's completely fixable.

Two days now — or another year of trial and error. Reserve My Seat →

No vague inspiration. Each ability is trained through practice on Day 1 and Day 2, then written into your own action plan before you leave the room.
