I'm very camera shy and so attended a coaching session with Lisa before starting my Spotify and Youtube channel. As a broadcast veteran, she provided lots of valuable tips and more importantly, encouragement. Thank you Lisa!

Lisa Oake hosted our inaugural DBS Institutional Investor Symposium and played a huge part in making the event the success that it was. In the midst of the turbulent Brexit vote and with a packed full day agenda, Lisa was the perfect host, effortlessly leading discussions between the speakers while keeping the audiences attention throughout. Her knowledge of the difficult subject matter was impeccable and she was at ease throughout the day, commanding the stage in-between sessions and engaging the speakers during the panel discussions. A consummate professional with a personal touch, Lisa added a tremendous amount of value on the day and we would highly recommend her for any Emcee job. As a matter of fact, we hope to have her back for our second Symposium later this year!

Amazing session by Lisa Oake at EGN Singapore. We love the Media training done by her 😊 …

Turned upside down in 3 hours. I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of media interviews or interviews of any kind. And previous trainings have proven that I am not made for the media. Or? Well - Lisa has proven me wrong. In about three hours she turned my entire behavior in front of a camera around. From being hyper nervous, not being able to connect with the camera or the interviewer to not being able to deliver a message that stick with the audience. You name it! I was a mess (I have proof of it). By explaining the impact that a good interview can have and providing tools on how to deal with an interview situation - she made it possible for me to handle interviews more eloquently. Her passion to help her clients and the empathy shown during the training made it easy to process and comprehend the contents of the training. I believe one of the major advantages I saw compared to other trainings is that there was no hint of patronizing behavior but full understanding that not everyone is comfortable in the limelight. The entire team (camera, light and make-up) where very comforting - but at the same time "brutally" honest without doing too much damage to my ego. I would recommend Lisa for anyone who has to deal with media (be it newbies or people that need a bit of a refreshment course). Feel free to contact me (Lisa has my contact details) if you need further elaboration. Thank you very much Lisa Oake!

Had made an appointment with a Mr Chew for a comprehensive eye check and had to reschedule the timing again as he was supposedly not around during the initial appointment date. Was recommended by the staff at W Optics to better manage my double vision (diplopia). On arrival, service was great and was greeted warmly by the staff. However, I was taken aback when I was told that I will be assessed by another optometrist (Tara), who is fantastic by the way. It was not what I was counselled on previously at W Optics who said that I will be assessed by Mr Chew and again informed by Videre's staff during the reschedulement. Nevertheless, I went ahead with an open mind. Spent 2 hours having my eyes dutifully assessed by Tara, had no issues at all with her. Only noticed that they were also waiting for Mr Chew to return from someplace to complete the session. It took another 5-10minutes of waiting past the 1.5h mark of the session before he arrived. Tara had to discuss her findings with him separately upon his return as he was the only Senior optometrist qualified to diagnose my condition. He then had her return to check on a couple more things before coming over to check on my eyes again. During his assessment, it felt like he was hastening the end of review and wasn't very invested in the consult. It also didn't feel like he was valuing my time as a client as he had rocked up late to a timing that I accomodating for him, and palmed off the conclusion of the session with Tara before promptly walking out of the store thereafter, which definitely didn't seem professional at all. I didn't feel like my questions were fully answered and wasn't given full assurance on his findings, until I had to ask Tara again - which she was able to provide professionally and assuringly with such empathy. To conclude, my qualms about this visit was the experience I had from Mr Chew that struck a strong chord with me - namely the apparent lack of punctuality, overall professionalism and seemingly lack of investment in the consult. I can only say that the overall satisfaction I got from my 2 hour long assessment and visit was saved by Tara who did an excellent job explaining and summarising her findings to me. Would definitely return again if I need fitting for regular glasses and be served by Tara again.

I have been a long time customer of Mr Chew Wai Keong (Senior Optometrist at Videre Centrepoint) since I was in primary school. I got my first OK lens to correct myopia and astigmatism when I was 14, and am still happily using it today. At that time, my parents decided on OK lens for me because I played a lot of sports, and wanted a solution that could stabilise my vision from deteriorating further. I can confidently say that my myopia and astig did not worsen in the 18 years since I started using OK lens. I’ve also never experienced any issues relating to the lens. Due to the nature of my job, I spend a lot of time in dry aircon environments in front of screens. My eyes tend to be dry as a result. I had mistaken dry eyes for tired eyes (I’ve been told dry eyes are often overlooked). As always, Mr Chew was thorough and used specialised machines to assess the extent of my dryness. He then offered very practical solutions to effectively address the dryness. My experience with Mr Chew and his team has been consistently very positive. He is always thorough in his checks and also in explanations. I’ve never been pushed into buying unnecessary products nor services. I would highly recommend Videre Centrepoint to everyone seeking OK lens and solutions for dry eyes.

I have worn Ortho-k night lenses for over 10 years now and my degree has barely increased. My eyesight is now stabilised and I am super happy with the results. Mr Chew has taught me how to maintain and wear my lens and was very professional and patient. I would strongly recommend ortho-k for anyone who wants to stabilise their eyesight! It is easy and convenient:)

It has been a pleasant experience @ Videre with a positive outcome. My kid had a drastic deterioration of her myopia in 2020. We got her glasses, and tried to have myopia control with the advice of eye specialists. Atropine at low and subsequently higher concentrations did not work for her. At the same time, the side effects were significant and my kid became sensitive to bright light among others. Finally put her on OrthoK in March this year after a thorough eye exam by Mr Chew from Videre. I cannot say for other centers offering the same service but Videre had been professional and yet friendly at the same time. The start of putting lenses for kids is definitely challenging but good to report that after a 9 month period, the results were amazing. There was a slight increase as monitored by Mr Chew but less than a quarter step. Talking about Mr Chew, we are thankful that he's always there throughout this journey. Bug him alot at the start when we were trying to ascertain if the lenses worked for my kid. Then there was the complain of persistent dry eyes from her and we were fortunate with his help to solve that recurring issue. Something we learnt along the way: not all eye drops are created equal. I'm not going to name the brand but one reputable brand that we tried at the beginning had in their package insert disclaimers about "dry eyes" being the side effect. Shucks...

As an experienced news anchor, Lisa delivers financial and business news with credibility and objectiveness. You fall in love with her natural presenting the moment you tuned on to her show. Now she's providing top-rated training services. For people who wants to know the TV industry better, nothing on earth can be more conducive than trainings provided by a well-know media professional. There will never be a dull and single standard text book style teaching in Lisa's training. She adjusts her training methods according to her student's aptitude. She can always excavate the best side of you, making you realize your personal value, making you shine like a star.

Had the pleasure of working with Lisa, and her coaching was very effective. Her guidance was clear and precise, and her experience and composure were all very inspiring. Thank you, Lisa, for your wonderful and nurturing support
