Coaching sessions with Chris provided me with more than a reflection space — they challenged me with hard questions to think deeper about my life and to find answers within myself.

What's coaching?
Coaching is about listening, questioning & guiding you in your life's navigation.
As a coach, I am here to be an independent neutral party in your life.
I believe in empowering clients to tap into their inner strength and wisdom to arrive at their own answers. It's really important to debunk the belief that coaches give advice: we don't! I will not have solutions for you, but only the powerful questions to guide you along your journey.
The coach-coachee relationship is the foundation on which we will work together.
I am a Co-Active coach: focusing on both the Being and Doing of life.
I am trained and certified by the Co-Active Training Institute, a global leader in coaching education, accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Read more: https://coactive.com/about/
The Co-Active Framework is an ethos and mindset that helps people stretch their sightlines, get out of their comfort zones, and grow in a way that permeates every aspect of their lives.
Coaching is different from therapy & mentoring.
There are different ways to think about this, but here's my view:
1) Coaching - Focuses on the present. Coaching is curious about what's in the moment, your life's big and small agendas that show up in your daily life and how to understand yourself deeply so you can plan for the future. Of course, the past and emotions are welcomed in the conversation but do not remain the focus.
2) Therapy - Focuses on the past to understand the present. It is the right platform to work through mental health concerns and absolutely crucial in working through past traumas and patterns of behavior that has caused you to be stuck in your life. As a coach, I believe it is the right ethical code of conduct to refer you to a therapist if the need arises.
3) Mentoring - Focuses on relevant experiences. Mentors can help you open doors and share the relevant experience and network that you might need in your life. You might find a mentor in someone you admire who might have lived experience that you don't. It's up to you if you would like to heed a mentor's advice, and not all of your mentors' advice would be helpful to you in your own navigations.

What I bring to the table:
Cultural Understanding
Having lived in Singapore, the U.S. and Myanmar, I deeply appreciate the fusion of Eastern and Western values that many of us share.
Relatability
I've had the opportunity to work in various settings, from a family-owned business to a fast-paced corporate environment, and have been involved in various creative community-building projects.
Empathy & Curiosity
These two core values guide me in every interaction I have and form the bedrock of our coaching relationship.
How we can work together:
1
Self-Awareness
Discover your true self. Gain a deeper understanding of your values, energy sources, and natural tendencies.

Clarity
Define your vision. What's your guiding star? Where do you want to go? Who do you want to become? What are your goals?

Accountability
Stay motivated and make progress. We'll create actionable steps and prioritize accountability through regular check-ins.
