Coaching

Who am I as your Coach?

I am a human first, coach second.

My coaching approach is centered around 

meeting you where you are, 

helping you tap into your inner wisdom, 

and connecting you with your deepest desires. 

As your coach, 

my intention is not to impose my own perspectives, 

but to empower you to find your own possibilities.

I am here to listen and guide you along, 

and to support you to silence the self-doubt that has been sabotaging your life for years.

Cecile

"In our several sessions together, we explored a wide range of topics, from career matters to personal relationships. She always managed to connect with me at a deep level and challenged me with care on my thoughts and beliefs. She also offered me a safe space to express and acknowledge my emotions. 

Thanks to her great coaching ability, I have been able to take steps and make positive changes in diverse areas of my life. I feel not only more connected in my relationships but also very grateful for the greater awareness I have gained. If you are looking for a nurturing, inspiring and insightful coach, I definitely recommend you to work with Daphne!"

Morgane

(Project Manager)

"Coach Daphne displays great empathy and is able to pinpoint very relevant observations about myself, which are often very important for me to identify some core issues that I did not come to recognise clearly in the past. 

   I am able to catch myself more during episodes of anxiety and negativity, set better boundaries and spend better quality time in my personal life, and also cope with work related anxiety better. 

I learned and practiced acts of courage such as setting boundary, understanding and management of anxiety, obtained clarity about personal goals to help in my self-confidence. The coaching sessions are effective in helping me re-discover myself and courageously be who I truly am.

Coach Daphne is an excellent coach who is patient, empathetic and encouraging. She has used various methods which help me discover more deeply about myself. Grateful for her help. She is also very patient and reassuring in the sessions especially when I appear hesitant or am holding back."

Adam

(Associate Professor)

"Coaching has helped increase my self-awareness, and given me more confidence in my abilities to set and achieve my career and personal goals. Coaching has also reminded me to face challenges with a growth mindset, keeping in mind progress over perfection.

Daphne was a great source of gentle support and guidance throughout my journey. She made it a point to listen deeply, ask thought-provoking questions, and offer practical advice tailored to my needs. She was very genuine in her interactions, which made me comfortable opening up to her. She never forced her judgement which I appreciate greatly. Her dedication and professionalism made me comfortable opening up and being vulnerable with her. Thanks Daphne! :)"

XJ

(Senior Lecturer)

"The coaching sessions significantly improved my ability to self-observe, which has led to better emotion management. 

My coach initiated this process by first observing how my body responded in different emotional states. This approach guided me to become more aware of my own physical reactions, sparking a conversation about the connection between emotions and bodily responses. Through this dialogue, I became more engaged in understanding and managing my emotions effectively"

Z.S

(Research Fellow)

"I have experienced a significant transformation, moving form a state of high anxiety to feeling much more calm, balanced, and at ease. Coaching has provided me with valuable support and recognition, which has significantly contributed to building my confidence.

 Daphne has demonstrated exceptional care and support during my sessions, which has been incredibly helpful. During the sessions, Daphne often shared valuable ideas, insights, and observations from the perspective of a third party. This approach has been particularly helpful in allowing me to gain an objective, outside view of my situation, which has enabled me to reflect and make more informed decisions."

Xiang Yu

(Research Assistant)

"I have gained confidence in my coping mechanism and learned a variety of techniques to assess my situation. Coaching has empowered me to better structure my thought process in moving towards my goal and build reliable support systems for coping with setbacks in the journey. 

My coach Daphne is caring, observant and insightful. I believe that gaining more experience with people who want a variety of coaching styles can hone her versatility. Coaching is about chemistry and commitment. Chemistry with the coach to align on goals and communicate clearly. Commitment to do the work needed and reflect on the journey."

Fang Wei

(Manager)

"Coaching has helped me have a clearer understanding of my interests and aspirations of my professional life, and better cope with stress.

I've learned that coaching is about a coach raising questions to guide me in self-discovery. Visual of what my aspirations might look like. We drew a lighthouse of what I imagine my next career might look like."

Kenneth

(Senior Executive)

"Specific areas that I appreciate my coach is that she assists me in self-reflecting on my strengths during times of low motivation, enhancing my self-awareness regarding my targeted goals, and promoting my personal well-being."

Kaung San

(IT Manager)

"I very much appreciate how my coach led me into deeper reflection, which helped me to have a better self-discovery from creating new awareness to rediscovering life purpose and meaning amid circumstances. 

The sessions were also instrumental in helping me identify actionable steps, experiment for myself, learn from them, and improvise."

Paul

(Product Manager)

"I like the tools/ exercises she suggested as they help me manage my emotion that comes out periodically."

Edwina

(Associate Director)

"The coach's use of analogies and metaphors to discuss the topics are quite helpful and effective. For example, this session included the use of box/door and different types of personalities, to enable creative and critical thinking around the topic. And as we go through the process, I am able to start mapping back the connections back to my area of concern."

Janice

(Comms Manager)

"What i found particularly helpful:

   1. Practical inventions

   2. Useful tools in guiding process of reflection and exploration of options."

Wendy

(Finance Lead)

"Daphne is such an INCREDIBLE coach to work with. Her patience and thoughtfulness during those conversations offered me great insight in the way that I see myself and my future career path! I really love the way she asks me those thought-provoking questions layer by layer, about me, my strengths and weaknesses, my inner desire and long-term goals for my future career, and gently guide me to see a bigger picture.

Most of the problems in our life, nine times out of ten, we’ve got the answer somewhere at the back of our mind, all we need is someone like Daphne to be there for us, patiently and skilfully channeling those answers out. I am super grateful to meet Daphne at this stage of my life, before I even start my first career, which would probably help me save a lot of confusion and trouble down the road. She is hands down one of the BEST coaches that I’ve ever had, and I know she’ll always be there for me whenever I have problems in my future life!"

Yi Dan

(IT Consultant)

"The coaching session was helpful. She taught me how to complete my own "T" strengths, which helped me to become employable. My coach is knowledgeable and inspiring. She helped me address my concerns and worries about making a career switch, which was a decision that I had been sitting on for a long time. She also had a lot of corporate experience and showed a fair amount of understanding in the industries that I am interested. She led me to re-think about my career interest and motivations and the experiential process helped me to construct a clearer long-term career focus and vision."

Luo Xi

(Investment Analyst)

"Daphne is so good at this. She is kind and patient, she respects my ideas and explores the strengths i have as much as possible. She asked me quite a lot of questions to dive deeper into the motivation of my every desire. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a career coach to explore career path and directions. Her thought pattern is detail-oriented and can help others find practical ways to achieve their goals through thought-provoking questions. It was a really inspiring conversation, and I look forward to our future coaching sessions."

M. HU

(PwC Advisory)

"She was a really great listener, she captured all the key things I shared and was able to conclude my thoughts into words very well. Not only that, she also helped me to strategise my career plans with actionable steps. It was an inspiring chat that has helped me to discover what I really want in the future career and even in my life, and what kind of jobs are appropriate for my personality. Glad to have the opportunity to have such a conversation while looking for a job. It was an experience that I have never had before."

Henry

(Marketing Manager)

"Working with Daphne has been a great experience for me and my wife. She guided us step by step through our challenges and helped us see communication in a whole new way. 

Her professional and calm approach made it easy for both of us to open up and work through issues together. We’ve learned how to have more meaningful conversations and better understand each other. 

We’re really thankful for her support and would definitely recommend her to other couples "
