My Coaching Approach
My mission is to help
multicultural people break free from rigid expectations and design a career that aligns with your identity.
Multicultural people...
I'm using this term in a broad sense to focus on individuals who identify themselves with more than one culture.
For example, this could mean that you are an immigrant, an expat, a mixed race individual, have dual or multi-nationalities, or have a partner or family whom reside in another country.
I believe that those from a multicultural background face different challenges when it comes to transitions, because your cultural identity, values, and support network may look very different from that of a mono-cultural person's.
Despite my focus on multicultural clients, I'm open to work with you regardless of your background, experience, profession, race or ethnicity. Where you identify yourself as being on the multiculturalism 'spectrum' also does not matter.
Read more about multiculturalism in this article from the Harvard Business Review and my blog entry "Why Multiculturalism".
...designing a career that aligns with your identity
Cultural expectations are often bigger than you think.
As most people I work with are from a multicultural background, I have witnessed how parental or community pressures could play a significant part in a person's career decisions.
The good news is, you now have the opportunity to break free from these rigid expectations, and change your path so that it can align better with who you are.
In our coaching sessions, we will use my signature "Counter-Cultural Method" to dig deep into your cultural context, gifts and identity to help you find options and practical actions that align to your heart and your mind.
You will have a non-judgmental, open, collaborative and confidential space to explore your dreams, goals, thoughts and feelings. You may want to target this coaching towards your career choices, or expand into other aspects of your life - the choice is entirely yours.
After our coaching sessions, my clients have walked away with:
💡 Informed decisions
💃 Increased confidence and motivation
📝 Practical and achievable plans
😄 Healthier and happier minds
I hold high standards in my practice and I work with a Coaching Supervisor on a monthly basis.
Where are the sessions?
My coaching programmes and packages are provided online, which means that I could work with you wherever you are based. You can choose to use Zoom, Google Meet, or I can simply give you a call on WhatsApp.
So far, my client base has spanned across the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United States and Canada.
Although 1:1 coaching is offered in English by default, I could offer coaching in Cantonese where required.
What's a 1:1 session like?
A typical session will feel like a flowing conversation. As a coach I will ask questions to understand and dig deeper into your current situation, allow space for you to think, and may come across challenging occasionally. I would offer tools and prompts that help you think and reach answers that are uniquely yours.
Our sessions will be client-centric - meaning that I will tailor my approach to your personality, culture, needs and goals.
As a client, it is often useful to have something you'd like to aim for in mind. We will also co-create tangible outcomes or tasks that will help you on your change.
