"Every interaction is an opportunity to inspire and accelerate positive growth
and impact."

​​

I coach because I believe exceptional leadership changes lives — not just bottom lines. Having navigated the pressures of global executive leadership roles myself, I'm passionate about helping leaders thrive with authenticity, not despite it.

​​​

​With a background in executive leadership roles at one of the world’s top professional services firms (spanning Australia, Asia-Pacific and globally), I combine real-world experience with highly developed coaching expertise.

​​

Leaders in top-tier banking and international financial enterprises, professional services firms, educational institutions, and governments choose to work with me to help them:

​​

  • Navigate tensions between short-term and long-term goals, HQ strategy with local execution, and diverse stakeholder expectations in rapidly evolving environments.

  • Challenge their beliefs, assumptions and habits. replacing them with strategies that drive measurable outcomes.

  • Step into their courage zone and redefine what’s possible.

​

Known as a pragmatic, results-driven coach, I build trust quickly and bring ‘heat and heart’ to my relationships. This enables leaders to accelerate growth while staying true to who they are, embed sustainable change through experimentation and reflection, and empower teams to elevate performance and impact.

​​

My strong commitment to excellence is evident in being one of only 15 Reach Personal Brand Strategists worldwide (helping leaders amplify their influence) to my role as an Accredited Ally to First Nations Australians (advancing inclusive leadership).  I volunteer with the International Coach Federation (ICF) at the global organisational level, contributing to committees, taskforces and programmes to advance professional coaching.

​​

A global citizen (Chinese heritage, growing up in Malaysia, Australian resident, working and connecting globally — a rich cross-cultural tapestry. When not working with leaders, I’m sharing great food and wine with family and friends — or cheering on the Geelong Cats.
