But sometimes, something can hold you back. The demands of daily life can distract you from your vision and values. Self-limiting beliefs, blind spots, ingrained behaviours, societal pressures and more can prevent you from fulfilling your purpose.

Combining 20 years’ corporate experience with a lifelong commitment to bring out the very best in people, I’ll partner with you on an enriching journey of exploration.  As your life coach, career coach or executive coach, I’ll help you access your inner wisdom, identify your strengths, address your challenges, and align your life and career with your core values. As your corporate trainer, I’ll equip your employees with the skills to connect, communicate and collaborate with purpose for corporate success.

Together, we’ll achieve excellence.

Testimonials

I started my coaching sessions with Amy after transitioning into a senior leadership role, with which I had no prior experience, and needed support. Having many years of commercial leadership experience herself, Amy understood my experience, and helped me go through the process of self-reflection to better understand myself, my thoughts and feelings about the different situations I faced, and determine actions I could take to make the progress I needed. After every session with her there is always much food for thought, and since working with her I have gained confidence, developed a better understanding of what I want and need in my career, and what my next steps could look like. I look forward to my sessions with Amy as I always learn something new and come away inspired to make change. I really appreciate the support, care and compassion she has shown me on my journey of finding myself, my passions and realising my potential. I would not hesitate to recommend Amy to anyone that is looking for a life or career coach.

Managing Director – Hong Kong Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT)

Amy gave me fantastic coaching at an infection point in my career, helping me clarify what my life priorities were, defining my value and my brand, and helping me take back control of my career. She is easy to talk to, a good listener and an intuitive mentor, prompting with questions, and helping me find the answers on my own. Her deep understanding of C-Suite Finance and Professional Services means her advice is practical and actionable.

IFRS17 Tax Manager Chubb

I always think I know myself well and am an optimistic person, but when unprecedent challenges came, I still felt lost and confused sometimes. Amy coached me by asking great questions to dig deeper into the situation, my feeling and intention. She was able to drive my self-reflection and realization on matters which may then lead to a trigger of change, the approach has been highly effective to a rather stubborn individual like me. I am thankful for having Amy as my coach during such turbulent time and supporting my journey of growth.

Head of Strategic Development, Health & Benefits, Asia Pacific WTW

Amy coached me this year both from a career and personal goal-setting and profiling perspective. This helped me to make some life-changing decisions, which I am happy with now. I am based in Sydney and I’m very time poor. Amy was able to be flexible; she worked with me remotely and helped me to achieve my goals over an agreed timeframe. Overall, l I am very pleased with Amy’s approach and coaching philosophy. I recommend her to anyone who is open to ideas and willing to chart the course with Amy.

– Elaine Wu

Director Global Strategic Sourcing

Amy became my coach in 2016 when I started my current role. During our coaching sessions, she listened to me carefully and asked questions which inspired me to think from different perspectives. She always asked me why my goals were important to me and challenged whether my actions were the right approaches or not. I found Amy very supportive and professional. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional executive coach.

– Johnny Sze

Vice President, General Manager Asia

I started 1:1 coaching sessions with Amy when I first became a manager of an 80-people department. I was struggling to manage such a big team as a young manager mainly on the people front. My major concern was my lack of managerial experience, but Amy helped me to gain confidence in my role. She showed me that no one could ever be a perfect manager. However, it is perfectly fine to have my own management style that people are more than willing to accept.

From the start of us working together, Amy listened, assimilated my somewhat rambling and chaotic thoughts and used her direct yet gentle questioning style to allow me reflect deeply and gain insight to new approaches and a way forward. The process we worked through gave me space and confidence to simplify my approach and put a clear structure and framework around my plans. Amy's ability to dig deep into everything coupled with an ability to hear what was going on behind what I was saying helped me unlock my true thoughts and move forward in clearer and even enlightened way.

– Senior Director

Professional Services Firm

In short, the journey from my sessions with Amy was incredibly pivotal in allowing me to rediscover my strengths (and weaknesses) and most importantly, give me clarity in coming to terms with the course and direction to take as my next steps. Not only did the sessions re-boot my thinking in terms of career-building, but it also made me rethink what my priorities are in life, and what my passions are. I came away from each session rediscovering something about myself which perhaps was lost from going through life on an auto-pilot mode.
