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.
