Press Release Body: March 10, 2008
Singapore

Directive Communication International (Asia) will be selecting 12 Singapore youths
to design and head a revolution designed to develop innovation and leadership. The
selection will be made from the lesser privileged youths in Singapore whom would not
be able to afford such a transformational International leadership development
course and designed to affect at least 30% of secondary school level student to
excel as leaders.

With Singapore preparing to host the 'Youth Olympics' what better than to couple the
efforts of the nation and develop leadership in tangent with what the spirit of the
games does.

The revolution concept applies Directive Communication Psychology with strategies
from the US Special forces to create chain reaction change that maintains
empowerment and motivation in Groups. The objective is to challenge the status quo
and enrich those who don't fit in the "traditional" mold of youth leadership or
scholastic competence.

12 youths in the age range of Sec 3 and Pre U 1 will be carefully hand-picked to be
part of the program funded entirely by Directive Communication International (Asia).
The workshop series, scheduled for late May is a modified version of what
professional consultants and trainers go through to become Directive Communication
certified Practitioners and Partners.

DCI, well known for its colored brain and psychological applications to business
effectiveness and leadership, plans to inculcate these chosen youths with an
in-depth knowledge of Directive Communication Psychology and how to apply it; to
influence and reinvent the youth culture and attitudes that are will allow youths to
reach their full potential.

The intensive program spans over 2 months and is laced with projects and
applications of this group Psychology to develop confidence and leadership in the
youths. Leslie Choudhury, a Directive Communication Training Partner in Singapore
and one of the facilitators for this project said, "When we've done this with
companies and seen the transformation of their people, its almost like seeing them
introduced to a new world they never felt could be theirs, and when we keep getting
emails on their progress and how we have changed their lives even 5 months after an
initiative, I can just imagine what it will do for Singapore youths , I would love
to be involved in helping Singapore's future leadership".

According to Founder of the Directive Communication Psychology and CEO of DCI, Mr.
Arthur F Carmazzi, "When I was young I had dyslexia and ADS and was branded by
educators as 'stupid'. It wasn't until one teacher helped me to understand my true
potential that my attitude and then grades turned around. If not for that one point
in my life, my destiny would have been far more 'average'."

Carmazzi also added that a youth revolution MUST come from the youths themselves,
"Too many adults underestimate the power and ability of the younger generation.
Often by trying to impose rules, we end up cultivating internal rebellion or a
surrender to mediocrity. That is why we want to work with only 12 young hand-picked
revolutionaries that we will carefully select, whom can use our methods to really
make a big difference in their future and even the future of Singapore." Mr Carmazzi
was also chosen as one of the top 10 Leadership gurus in the world for 2008 and is
well known for his international contributions to developing leaders and enhancing
corporate cultures.

The criteria to be selected as one of the 12 beneficiaries is a closely guarded
secret. "We don't want individuals to try and skew the selection" says Carmazzi.

While DCI has created numerous "Revolutions" for organisations the likes The
Emirates Group to local companies like Barang Barang and Winson Press, this will be
it's first project serving the public and future leaders. After the program, DCI
plans to sponsor events created and designed by the chosen 12 to maintain their
development and the evolution of other youths whom they will reach and influence.

CEO Tan Jit Khoon of Winson Press adds "I have been using this in my organisation
and it has made a great difference in cooperation and productivity, we will do what
we can to support DCI in helping Singapore's youth achieve higher levels of
excellence"

DCI will be asking the schools to assist in identifying, assisting and even
monitoring the transformational process these 12 youths; future potential leaders
in Singapore.

Carmazzi's final words were: "I truly believe that this will change the way we look
at our children, Singapore is the perfect place to start because of the pressure
that kids are put under, and we so underestimate the ones that don't seem to fit in
the system. Yet, it is these mavericks, that if given the right mental and emotional
tools, are more likely to make a difference in Singapore and yes, even the world."

Singapore has won the right to host the 'Youth Olympics' , and from now till it
comes upon our shores to develop the future champions of the sporting world, so DCI
wants to also develop the future leaders of Singapore from the youth population in
tandem. DCI believes in that our future lie with youth, so lets develop their true
potential and see them reach heights unknown and untold, as they unfold !
