Empowering Asian Women Professionals

I specialize in coaching Asian Women to get unstuck and be seen and recognized as leaders authentic to their culture and identity. I help Asian Women manage cultural stereotypes and bias, deal with impostor syndrome, develop skills to speak up and get their voice heard, as well as navigate office politics, get sponsorship and gain visibility. I enable Asian Women to find clarity in their life and work purpose and vision, uncover what motivates and drives them, and scale new peaks based on their passions and strengths.I help Asian Women build confidence, manage their inner critic, develop their executive presence, and build their personal brand. I support them to achieve work-life balance, incorporate self-care and build a sustainable lifestyle without burning out. Through my personalized coaching, I empower Asian women professionals to leverage their cultural values as strengths, and become authentic leaders true to their identity.  As a professionally-trained executive coach, experienced business strategy and partnerships leader, and a first-generation Asian woman immigrant, I can relate and listen intently to the challenges and aspirations of many people, and create a confidential space to help them on a wide range of topics, including career development, professional skills, navigating office politics, as well as diversity and inclusion.

I have over 20 years of global experiences in Asia, UK and the US.
