The Majority of my clients are from multinationals, and range from HR professionals to CEO’s and business owners of HK and China enterprises. They tend to work with me as partners and fully trust in my expertise and often use me as their sounding board as well as seeking my support on issues they have in mind. I enjoy working with clients who can challenge my thinking. They often show interest in what is going on in the market and always are open, frank and hungry for more new ideas and concepts before they come up with a new direction for the future move.
Results Achieved
A President of Asia Pacific Region of a large MNC realized that he did not specifically nominate or develop a successor, nor did he prepare a well thought succession plan for his Region, prior to his repatriation back to the Corporate Office in six months’ time. He considered that this should be his major task before leaving the Region. Coaching resulted in generating innovative ideas developed from long term succession planning with goals set for five to ten 10 years.
A professional Coach who established her own firm, recently encountered a very difficult client who was assigned to her by his superior. She coached him for three sessions but with little progress and she was on the verge of giving up the case. Coaching her ed her to take a different approach with the client, resulting in a total change of behavior from him and steady progress in the subsequent sessions.

Coaching Approach
I always build trust with my clients and am sensitive to their concerns and key issues. I focus on a client’s agenda with alternative approaches to search for his or her real need. I work with clients to arrive at a constructive resolution with his/her own ideas and choice. I always give feedback before closing a session and work out a road map with the client for the next step. Each engagement averages three to six months with a session per week, normally 45 minutes in person or by telephone or SKYPE session. Coaching fees are agreed in advance with a signed coaching agreement
