Meet Kwong Yue Yang
Based in Sydney, Australia
Even before joining LifeHikes®, Kwong was no stranger to public speaking. An active Toastmasters participant, Kwong has moved up to the World Championships twice, each time taking 2nd place globally (although he is determined to eventually win first place). He has spoken at events in China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, UAE, Australia and the USA.
A native of Canberra, Australia, Kwong started his career as a corporate graduate with Qantas, working with the Change Management and Business Development teams. He then moved to Guangzhou, China, where he worked in digital advertising, and later became a founding member of Aleadpay, an international digital firm that has worked with Zynga, Tokopedia, and Groupon.
Kwong is an Ultimate Frisbee enthusiast who represented Australia at the Asia-Oceanic Ultimate Championships in 2007 and 2011. In addition to English, he is fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin.
"Kwong is a fantastic facilitator for LifeHikes and I strongly recommend his course. He engaged the whole room and made us become much better presenters by the end of the day. That day I was quite jet-lagged since I had just arrived to Singapore. However, Kwong kept me engaged the whole day, without any distractions. Not at any point was I keen in going for a break or stopping - the day flew by! I am a promoter."
