I want to help you accomplish your deepest wishes and achieve freedom from what pains you

It’s natural to wonder about your coach’s qualifications. You’ll find mine on the tabs to the right. But my most important qualification isn’t in my CV. Because the main way I help you outgrow your problems is not with my professional experience or accumulated knowledge — but space. Space where daunting possibilities, “ugly” feelings, and vulnerable wishes can be met with kind awareness.

The space that I hold for you can only be as extensive as the space I can hold for myself. That’s why I’ve made it my life’s work to face all that is within me, in order to expand what I can meet with compassion in you. I’ve been preparing all my life to help you reconnect with all that now lies unspoken within you. We don’t know each other yet, but I already know this to be true.

I’ve earned my stripes across a varied career that helps me to understand a range of client contexts

I’ve learned everything I know about how to learn from the 21 years I spent growing up in Singapore. I moved to the U.S. in 2006 to attend the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where I graduated with a B.A. and B.S., followed by Stanford University, where I graduated with my M.A. and Ph.D. I haven’t stopped learning since.

I’ve earned my stripes across a varied career. Points of pride include: writing an award-winning dissertation at Stanford about what thinking feels like, building Minds Matter Bay Area’s 3-year curriculum and theory of change from scratch as Head of Instruction, and partnering with billion-dollar U.S. health systems to unlock top-line growth as an Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company.

I’ve honed my craft with the foremost coaching and facilitation training programs in the world

I graduated from Columbia University’s coach certification program (3CP) as a certified executive coach (CCPEC) at the highest level currently granted by the program, which parallels the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) designation as defined by the International Coach Federation (ICF).

Since earning my primary coaching certification, I have also acquired 500+ hours of additional coaching education, training, and experience as a Certified Narrative Enneagram Practitioner (CNEP), as a certified practitioner of the Leadership Circle 360 Profile, and as a trained facilitator for the Stanford Graduate School of Business’s most popular elective, Interpersonal Dynamics (“Touchy Feely”).

WHO I WORK WITH

I work with leaders dedicated to bringing out
the best in themselves and others.

I work with leaders dedicated to bringing out the best in themselves and others.

My clients are primarily founders, investors, and senior executives. However, I believe leaders are defined not by our job description, but by our dedication to the craft of honing ourselves as instruments for bringing out the best in others.

My clients may not all share a title, a profession, or an industry, but they are all:

My clients may not all share a title, a profession, or an industry, but they are all:

Eager to discover the habits and patterns that hold them back, because of the growth this makes possible.

Willing to experiment and try something new, and to embrace the discomfort that comes with that.

Curious about others’ perspectives, especially when these are different from or contrary to their own.

Aware of the impact they can have on those around them, and are motivated to bring their best to others.

Committed to staying the course when the work feels edgy, because they know that’s when change happens.
