ABOUT ME

I have partnered with middle to top managers at companies in the US, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines from people perspectives. My focus lies in change management and leadership development. Apart from being an expat in multiple countries, I have also worked with expats in my home country. 

After pursuing a Master degree in Human Resource Development and working in corporations, I continue pursuing professional development in coaching. I earned a  credential from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Also, Virginia Satir family counseling is another area I am studying since I see a person as a whole and believe the influence from family of origin and the impact from how we tell our stories. I see my client as a human being instead of a working robot with a fancy name card. 

I grew up as a majority in the society but I also understand the feeling of being a minority. I was the only woman in the managerial meeting, I was the youngest in the cross-functional team meeting (with at least one decade of age gap with others), I was the only woman of color in the room, and many others more. Experiencing collaboration among diverse groups and microaggression, I show my value in a unique way, respect differences, and set boundary. Meanwhile, with roots of Confucianism and  values of collectivism and moderation, I managed to adapt and keep my ground in the society of individualism and eagerness to prove good or bad. Different culture and belief system are guides for us to more understanding and better solutions. This is an asset for international talents like us. 

My clients describe the space I create for them is warm and safe; meanwhile, I always compassionately challenge them to look at the root cause and things they prefer to look away. I have faith in my clients. I believe they can be who they want to be while enjoying lives. They always prove me right. I am trained to be sensible to unspoken messages and always able to see the beauty and bright sides of any person. Do you want to experience the beauty of diversity and gain the sense of achievement from realizing something you could not 100% dare to claim? Let me be your partner. Schedule a discovery call.
