Jason Thong (Coach JT)

HeadSmart Founder & Teen Success Coach

“I have always thought that if you are smart, you will succeed in life. With an IQ of 148 and MENSA membership, I am arguably smarter than most people. I was very ambitious in climbing the corporate ladder after graduating from university. However, the higher I climbed, the more unfulfilled I became. Eventually, things turned south and I was asked to leave my last job.

The most valuable lesson I learned from my 15 years in the corporate world is that IQ can only bring us so far. Without emotional intelligence (EQ), we will not be able to overcome obstacles, criticism and self-doubt, which will eventually lead to our downfall.

After leaving the corporate world, I went soul searching. It took me a few months to discover my life purpose, which is to empower our next generation to reach their true potential in life.

I got myself trained as a life coach for teenagers, and am proud to be the first Malaysian certified by Academic Life Coaching in the USA.

I founded HeadSmart to provide real-life education to teenagers in Malaysia.

We are here to help teenage students to understand and express their Emotional Intelligence (EQ). These skills are rarely, if ever, taught in schools, and are integral in the development of interpersonal and leadership skills that so many modern teenagers lack.”

Jason Thong (Coach JT)

Teen Success Coach

When you are considering a coach for your teenager, don’t just look at paper qualifications.

Coach JT has more than 20 years of experience in marketing, leadership, entrepreneurship, education and coaching,

…he has an IQ of 148 (top 2% in the world),

…and he is a certified teen life coach.

Those are nice to know. BUT honestly – they are not THE MOST IMPORTANT.

THE MOST IMPORTANT is that he can, he will and he is highly passionate about empowering teenagers.

We believe in teenagers.

Every teen deserves a real chance to be their best selves. Living in a highly distracted world and having to balance studies, exams, friends, family, interests and problems is really, really stressful. We believe that they can thrive, if they are given the right knowledge, trust and support.

We believe in education (beyond textbooks).

Schooling is necessary. However, what teen students can learn from their textbooks are not sufficient. They need be able to set goals, take action, solve problems, empathize with others, lead projects and pursue their passion.

Education should be for life, instead of for exams.

We drive results.

We deliver results that matter.

We deliver results that are real.

We will not promise you results overnight, but we will promise you results over time. Because sustainable success requires belief, motivation and commitment.
