Workplace Resilience Singapore Teams Need: 3 Lessons from GenWell's Tree of Life

Singapore's Sensory Reset Specialist: The Story Behind GenWell

Glenn Poh is Singapore’s Sensory Reset Specialist – the founder behind GenWell’s Sensory Reset Framework and ReAlign™ Framework, built from a twelve-year journey that started, unexpectedly, with a pushcart of crystals at Bugis Junction.

Before any of that, Glenn served in the Republic of Singapore Air Force and spent years in corporate banking and technology sales – disciplines built on structure, precision, and results. That background shapes how GenWell operates today: every session is designed, tested, and repeatable, not improvised.

The Leap

Twelve years ago, Glenn left the comfort of a corporate career to build something of his own. It began with a small pushcart at Bugis Junction – arranging crystals and gemstones one by one, half-excited and half-nervous, hoping someone would stop by. People didn’t just stop to look. They stopped to talk, to share what was on their mind, and to connect. That was the moment Glenn realised this was never really about the crystals – it was about creating a moment where someone felt genuinely seen.

Stepping Into a New Chapter

As meaningful as those years were, I felt a gentle nudge to evolve. I began to see that wellness couldn’t stay confined to shelves or counters. It had to be experienced. It had to be lived.

That’s how GenWell™ was born. From retail spaces to experiential wellness, my passion has now blossomed into creating workshops and activities that allow people to pause, reset, and reconnect. From AromaGems Mist to Gem Canvas Art, from team-bonding workshops to private wellness experiences, my focus has shifted from “things you buy” to “moments you live.”

"Jiok Tao Kia"

The early days came with plenty of skepticism. This wasn’t feng shui – but plenty of people assumed it was, and Glenn spent networking sessions explaining otherwise. The elderly hawkers nearby gave him a nickname: “jiok tao kia” – the little boy selling stones. It stuck. Over time, the skeptical smiles turned into genuine curiosity, and those conversations became the seed of what GenWell is today.

From Retail to a Repeatable Framework

The business grew – from the pushcart, to pop-up events across Singapore malls, to a flagship retail outlet at Shaw Towers, and later five years at Bras Basah Complex. Each stage brought new lessons, but one kept repeating: people didn’t just want a product. They wanted a structured way to pause and reset.

That realisation is what led to GenWell™. The retail experience became the foundation for two proprietary frameworks: the Sensory Reset Framework – using six channels (Sight, Touch, Smell, Sound, Speech, and Intuition) to help people reset attention and reconnect – and the ReAlign™ Framework, a four-step method (Reset, Awareness, Balance, Action) for moving through disengagement with intention rather than guesswork. Workshops like Aromagems Mist, Gem Canvas Art, and WearWell™ all trace back to this same underlying structure.

Why This Matters for Corporate Teams Today

What started as one-on-one conversations at a pushcart has scaled into structured programs for some of Singapore’s most recognised organisations – including Singapore Airlines, UOB, Deloitte, and the Ministry of Home Affairs, among 100+ organisations GenWell has worked with to date. The through-line hasn’t changed: teams don’t need more motivation, they need to be reset – deliberately, structurally, and repeatably.

That’s the difference between GenWell and a typical team-bonding vendor. Every session is still built on the same principle Glenn discovered at that pushcart: real change happens when people feel genuinely reset, not just entertained for an afternoon.

The Journey Continues

From a pushcart at Bugis to working with HR and L&D teams across Singapore’s leading organisations, every stage of this journey has fed into the next. And maybe, just maybe, the “jiok tao kia” who once sold stones at Bugis has grown into Singapore’s Sensory Reset Specialist – someone building structured, repeatable frameworks for the modern workplace.

If your organisation is exploring what a structured reset could look like for your team, GenWell would be glad to walk that conversation with you.
