Experience

Jimmy is a dynamic, results-driven leader with 25+ years of experience in Management, Organisational Development (OD), and Leadership. With a history of positive organisational impact through effective leadership, OD initiatives, and team coaching, he holds the key appointment as the Commandant of the Singapore Prisons Training Institute (SPTI) and the Chief Coach of the Singapore Prison Service. His previous positions include Senior Principal Consultant at the Institute of Leadership and Organisation Development (ILOD) and Senior Director at the Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises (SCORE), now known as Yellow Ribbon Singapore (YRSG).

I started coaching with Jimmy under recommendation by a friend. Over the months, Jimmy has helped me gain clarity about my core values, competencies and motivations, and use this knowledge in my decision-making. He has helped me dream again, be more aware of my emotions and what they may be telling me, and take ownership of my own future. Jimmy has a real heart for helping people. He is always affirming, never judgmental, keen to help me see things I may have not noticed, or look at things from a different perspective. Using a variety of tools, he has helped me get in touch with myself and forge a way forward. He’s been very generous with his time and support, and I’m deeply grateful for our coaching relationship.”

My Value Proposition & Philosophy

I help leaders and individuals to experience long term behaviour changes in both their personal and professional lives. My coaching approach is practical, measurable and sustainable. I believe in an inside-out approach.  With more than 25 years of leadership and organisational development experience, I can effectively draw out my clients' creativity, resourcefulness and potential.

My Life Purpose

My life purpose is to be a “Shepherd Leader Who Empowers Leaders to become the best version of themselves in the way they live, lead and love". I want to live my life from the ‘inside-out’ and ‘from significance’ instead of ‘for significance’. With that end in mind, I entered the world of coaching in 2018. I have a strong passion for coaching/mentoring youths and leaders in the Public/Social Service Sectors.

​

Presently, I am attending Church Of The True Light (COTL), serving as the Vicar's Warden, member of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) and a Synod Representative to the Anglican Diocese of Singapore. I am also serving in the COTL English Congregation Council (ECC) as a member and two ministries, namely, the Sunday School and Missions. I am also a facilitator of the Alpha Programme for my Church.
