My 18 years in marketing and development roles in global organisations have equipped me with a deep appreciation for the complexities of leadership and teamwork. I bring a rich understanding of organisational dynamics and a genuine curiosity about the individual stories that shape each person’s journey. I was born and raised in Hong Kong, educated in the US and spent most of my career working in Hong Kong and Singapore in multinational organisations. As a coach, this makes me particularly interested in the intersections of my client's lived experiences and how this impacts how they show up at work as a leader, manager, teammate, peer and employee. My coaching practice is rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and a belief in the profound impact of self-discovery. I see self-discovery as the foundation for authentic leadership, personal fulfilment, and meaningful change. By gaining clarity on one's values, strengths, and challenges, my clients are empowered to make courageous decisions and achieve their own tangible, lasting success. Professional Experience: - Executive Coaching: From 2020-2024, I served as an executive coach within a law firm's internal coaching faculty, accumulating hundreds of hours helping professionals refine their leadership skills and achieve personal growth. - Board Leadership: I currently sit as a Board Director for the International Coaching Federation's HK Chapter and ICON APAC, a B2B marketing professionals' not-for-profit organisation. Bespoke Workshops: -I design and deliver tailored workshops for universities and corporations, exploring leadership frameworks such as Biography of Leadership, helping individuals uncover how past experiences shape their current leadership style. Coaching Methodologies: I leverage powerful tools like the Leadership Circle Profile™ and Biographical Dimensions of Meaning Making (BDMM)© to enable deep exploration, self-awareness, 360-degree feedback, and provide personalised development journeys for my clients. Commitment to Inclusion: As a passionate advocate for inclusion, I believe that everyone should feel empowered to bring their whole selves to work. I’ve proudly served as Co-Chair of the Gender Equity Committee in previous corporate roles, earning two Diversity Champion Awards. I continue to consult on DE&I projects, mentor with The Women’s Foundation, and volunteer for social enterprises dedicated to promoting equitable opportunities. Education: - Bachelor of Communication, Minor in Cinema, University of Southern California

Hi! I'm Claire! I am fulfilled when I get to journey with professionals in their human and professional experience, generating career and purpose clarity. Through my years of experience as a employee, leader and management consultant I have experienced the full spectrum of organizational stress, career highs, burnout lows and everything in between. I have led teams of 2-40 professionals across operations, human resources and consulting projects with budgets up to 85M. I know what it feels like to succeed and to come up short and my greated joy is in meeting individuals where they are at and navigating these experiences in partnership. Projects I have loved being a part of include: - coaching employees and leaders at all levels; - future of work thought leadership - delivering transformational change initiatives to employee groups of 20 to 20,000; - establishing a corporate hackathon that resulted in significant productivity gains; - leading big and small teams to greater connectedness; - championing inclusion in the workplace; - advising public and private sector clients in the areas of innovative culture change, employee engagement, and technology and operating model optimization.
In 2020, I discovered what I was meant to do when I enrolled in my first Coach training program. Prior to this, I held a variety of positions in the sustainability sector, from project executive for a CSR initiative in an MNC, strategic consultant to NGOs to General manager in a social enterprise. Nonetheless, I could never find deep satisfaction for the impact I was making. Since there were so many parties involved in these jobs that were outside my control, I found myself burnt out and frustrated. I have always wanted something more impactful that can address the root causes of the issues humanity is facing and I can be solely responsible for generating this impact with who I am and what I have. Coaching enables me to turn my natural tendency into a skill set and process that creates a profound impact on a person’s life. After just one session, they undoubtedly feel more in control, but the partnership process is necessary to help them maximize their potential and become their best selves. The key factor that facilitates my transformation, surprisingly, is self-love. I wouldn't be able to overcome my own self-doubt, uncertainty, and outside criticism to make the tough decisions that ultimately lead me down a path that is genuinely soul-fulfilling if I didn't love myself. What stops us from embracing our dreams is rarely external circumstances, but the limiting beliefs we carry inside. Self-love is a verb, a choice, and a skill that can be mastered over time. At the end of 2020, I founded my own Coaching business, with a desire to spread positive change. If I can transform myself through self-love, I can replicate this process for my clients with Coaching. I’m proud to have helped hundreds of clients break free from social norms to practice self-love, commit to their own journey, shine as they are, and make an impact in their community.
