Melanie Huang
Profile
ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
There is a moment Melanie carries with her into every coaching session. In her most uncertain season, someone held an umbrella over her. Not to clear the fog. Just to walk with her through it. That moment showed her what it means to truly be seen. It is why she became a coach. And it is why she keeps showing up.
With over 17 years of HR experience spanning SMEs, MNCs and startups, and currently serving as a Global HR Director in the tech industry, Melanie has spent her career working alongside people at every level — from fresh graduates finding their footing to C-suite leaders navigating the weight of the room. She has seen what it looks like when people thrive. And she has seen what it looks like when they are holding everything together on the outside while quietly running on empty.
Her coaching practice reflects that breadth. Her clients span students and retirees, homemakers and entrepreneurs, people at career crossroads and couples feeling a distance they cannot quite name. What they have in common is not a specific problem. It is the sense that something feels off, and the courage to finally say so.
Melanie’s approach is genuine, curious and non-judgmental. She loves deep conversations and sitting with someone in the silence. She will not give you answers. But she will help you hear yourself, including the parts you have not been ready to say out loud.
Outside of coaching, she is an avid hiker who finds stillness in nature, a mother of two who parents with questions rather than answers, a volunteer mentor at NUS and a storyteller at NLB. Everything she does points back to the same belief: there is a light within every person. Her job is simply to help you find the switch.

Joy Wong

Blaise Pascal wrote, “The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.”
So which do you listen to?
If you are looking to gain greater clarity—whether in your professional career, key transitions, or personal life—I am here to guide you to work through the noise and find your direction. As a Coach-in-Training, I balance mindfulness with practical challenge to untangle cluttered thoughts and feelings while maintaining absolute trust and safety.
Operating from the foundation of Unconditional Positive Regard, I provide an authentic, non-judgmental space where you don’t have to perform or be perfect.
My path to coaching serves as my compass. Several years ago, I faced severe burnout, depression, and PTSD, leaving me completely disconnected. Through the steady support of four individuals—including a father-figure who reminded me to stand my ground—I found my way back. This pivotal turning point reignited my deep-seated passion: to ensure no one has to walk through their darkest transitions alone. The journey taught my mind, emotions, and person to work in cohesion. From that experience, my foundation became simple: Tomorrowisn’t written in yesterday. You possess the power to choose your “now”.
Growing up, I learned intellectual and emotional independence early as a family peacekeeper navigating sensitive dynamics. To adapt, I mastered reading the unsaid in rooms and managing undercurrents; today, my distinct advantage lies in noticing what is left unspoken or missing in a conversation.
That analytical mind drove a 20+ year corporate career across continents. Managing global projects and facilitating change management workshops gave me the skills to structure and resolve complex organizational issues, alongside the confidence to communicate effectively from senior executives to peers. Moving overseas and living in different countries and cultures from a young age widened my perspectives, teaching me resilience that deeply enriched my life experience.
Outside of work, my sanctuary is music. Singing in a performing chorus connects me to my core, unlocking emotions words cannot reach. I also share my life with an adopted, retired K9—my daily reminder that at the end of the day, after everything, we all deserve a safe space to land.
You do not have to wait until things get critical before reaching out. As Robert Frost wrote,
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”
If you are ready to choose a different path and clarify your next chapter, I am here to walk that road with you.

Zell Liew
Profile
Zell understands that chasing your dreams is never as straightforward as it seems. With over 15 years of experience as an entrepreneur and business owner, Zell brings a unique perspective to his coaching practice—one grounded in real-world challenges and the resilience required to overcome them.
Zell’s coaching philosophy stems from personal experience — there are different forms of love. Some, despite good intentions, can inadvertently limit our potential. Others create the space for authenticity, vulnerability, and growth. He strives to create environments where clients feel safe to speak their truths, face their fears, and pursue what truly matters to them.
What sets Zell apart is his ability to guide clients toward deeper insights than they initially seek. In one instance, a client approached Zell feeling frustrated about limited job prospects. Through their coaching partnership, not only did they address the immediate frustration, but they also uncovered a long-buried dream of working with startups and eventually building a company—shifting their entire perspective and reigniting their passion.
This pattern repeats in Zell’s practice: clients come with one challenge and leave having resolved multiple layers of their lives.
Clients describe Zell’s coaching style as empathetic, open, and non-judgmental—creating a space where they feel safe to share their deepest thoughts. At the same time, his direct approach doesn’t let clients “escape their own bullshit,” as some have put it. This balance of compassion and accountability helps clients access their inner wisdom and find authentic answers.
While training in ICF-aligned coaching methodologies, Zell draws from his diverse background as an author, conference speaker, and workshop facilitator to offer a well-rounded approach that acknowledges both practical challenges and emotional nuances.
Whether you’re navigating career transitions, personal growth challenges, or simply seeking greater clarity about your path forward, Zell provides a kind yet direct partnership focused on helping you unlock your potential and move confidently toward your dreams.

Premesha (née Motha)
Profile
ICF Coach in Training
Premesha McDonald (née Motha) is a coach with a focus on helping people find balance, clarity, and growth across the multiple roles they play in life, especially those navigating demanding, fast-paced, and high-stakes careers.
Balance can mean many things: leading with composure in a competitive environment, pursuing ambition without burnout, or creating harmony between work, family, and one’s own sense of purpose.
With over a decade of experience as an executive recruiter in the commodities and trading industry, Premesha understands what it means to operate in a world that is high-pressure, performance-driven, and often cut-throat. Her career has been built around advising and connecting some of the most ambitious and dynamic professionals in global trading, mining, and energy markets – people who, like her, thrive on challenge but often struggle to slow down and breathe.
Her strength as a coach lies in her ability to create a safe, calm, and deeply empathetic space for people who are constantly “on.” She helps them pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly drives them, allowing them to rediscover balance without losing their edge.
Premesha’s passion for coaching began after experiencing its impact in her own life. As a working mother balancing leadership, ambition, and self-expectation, coaching helped her find clarity in the chaos. She saw how a shift in one area of life could unlock energy and confidence in every other. That realisation changed how she led, how she parented, and how she approached success.
What inspires Premesha most about coaching is witnessing people move from tension to alignment, from simply performing to leading and living with authenticity and ease.
Her stand as a coach is to help people in demanding industries create sustainable success, building careers and lives that feel not just accomplished but deeply whole.
Testimonials
I’m deeply grateful for the coaching sessions with Premesha, which helped me reconnect with my core value and strengths through the various roles I’ve held. Before our sessions, I often struggled with self-worth and confidence during my job search. Through her guidance, I gained clarity on my professional narrative and how to position my experience more powerfully.
After six months of receiving little response, I finally experienced a breakthrough—securing interviews and ultimately a role that marked my transition from Senior Manager to Director. Premesha’s coaching was instrumental in unlocking this next chapter of my career.
– Jasmine Hui
Premesha created safe emotional space and helped me connect with the emotional underlying reasons for some of my surface problems. I love riding motorcycle but have been putting off getting one for a long time. She helped me realize how my personal to do management system was built to prioritize other things but not my personal interests and desires. And within a few months, I was able to prioritize myself to get my license and a motorcycle. Thank you Premesha for helping me push through. Riding my motorcycle always puts a smile on my face!

Haodan Yang
Profile
ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
Haodan is an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with a focus in helping people find their love for life. The love here refers to several things: a career, a job that one could be inspired by, passionate and firing up for, or a life partner whom you want to spend life with.
Tapping into her experience of feeling like she had nothing left for a long time, and to the point now where she could find and be in love with all aspects of her life, Haodan knows what’s needed to overcome the feelings of hopelessness and make it work. Her strength lies in her ability to resonate well with individuals who may be struggling in different aspects of their lives, and be able to provide a safe space for them to open up and explore what’s missing, and how to move forward.
Haodan’s passion for coaching and helping her clients runs deep because of what she has experienced for herself when she sought out coaching for the first time. She saw how the different aspects of her life and environment transformed as she began to gain clarity in just one domain of her life. As such, she saw the world in an entirely new lens which allowed her to overcome multiple barriers in her life, as well as achieving a speedy career progression with promotions in a row including during the Covid period, which was almost impossible then in her industry. And in the same period of time, Haodan has also met someone who’s almost everything she could wish for in a partner.
What inspires Haodan the most about coaching is the empowerment process – from being hopeless to hopeful in life. Her stand as a coach is to be able to empower more people to get the love they wish for in life.

Jeanie Teo
Profile
ICF-Coach in Training
For more than two decades, Jeanie has made a living from ideas. She went into advertising straight after graduating 23 years ago and has stayed in the industry ever since. Today she runs her own creative agency as its Creative Director, helping brands find the words, images and stories that make people stop and pay attention.
Her path hasn’t always been smooth. Jeanie has been retrenched, and she has taken the leap into running her own business. She knows how it feels when the ground shifts under your career, and how much courage it takes to build something of your own. Those experiences shape how she coaches.
She is honest and patient, and she respects how personal career decisions really are. About six years ago, her curiosity turned inward. She began studying Chinese Metaphysics and Reiki, exploring quieter questions of energy, timing and self-understanding. Then one morning she woke up with a new pull. She started researching coaching, and before long she was training as a coach while still running her agency. She first saw coaching as a skillset that would help her communicate better with her own clients. It has since become something bigger: a way to help people hear themselves more clearly.
As a Creativity Life Coach and ICF Coach-in-Training, Jeanie has coached 8 clients over 13 hours. Three of them reached real breakthroughs, moments where something long stuck finally shifted. In her coaching she draws on three things: a creative director’s eye for possibility, a strong intuition sharpened by years of reading people, and the structure of proven coaching practice.
In a session with Jeanie, you’ll find a safe, unhurried space to say what’s really on your mind. She listens closely, notices what sits underneath, and asks the questions that help you see your situation in a fresh way. She won’t hand you a script. Instead, she’ll help you build self-awareness and confidence, name what you truly want, and turn it into clear, doable next steps.
Outside work, Jeanie loves to travel, and not just to sightsee. She wants to understand how people in each country live and see the world. She brings that same curiosity into coaching meeting every client’s story with fresh eyes and a real wish to understand.
Jeanie believes everyone has the potential for a fulfilling career and life. She also believes creativity isn’t only for “creative people.” It’s how all of us solve problems, reinvent ourselves and find our way through change.
You might be facing a career or life transition, getting ready to step into your next role, or simply sensing that something needs to change. Whatever brings you here, Jeanie would love to walk that path with you. She is still learning every day, and she brings that same openness and curiosity to every client she works with.
Testimonials:
What sets Jeanie apart is how deeply she listens. She picked up on the values and hopes underneath my words, things I hadn’t even put into words myself. With warmth and gentle structure, she helped me get past a belief that had been holding me back for years. I finished our sessions feeling more self-aware, more confident and genuinely excited about what’s next. I’m so grateful for her guidance.”

Kum Seng
Profile
ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) | Leadership Transformation Coach
“The outer game of leadership is what others see. The inner game is what determines how you lead.”
As a transformation coach, I help leaders become more conscious of who they are being as leaders, not just what they are doing as leaders. Leadership is often described in terms of strategy, performance, communication and decision-making. Yet some of the most important leadership challenges happen beneath the surface — in our beliefs, assumptions, emotions, identity, values and the stories we tell ourselves.
I am a lifelong Star Wars fan and Yoda enthusiast, inspired by the character’s wisdom, patience, disciplined self-mastery, humility and belief that growth often comes through challenge and failure. These values have shaped both my leadership journey and my coaching philosophy.
My guiding principle is simple: “Master yourself, you must, before you can truly lead others.”
Throughout my career, I progressed from my early professional beginnings to become a Regional CFO of a global multinational corporation, working across Asia-Pacific and alongside boards, CEOs and senior leadership teams. My career exposed me to the rewards and pressures of leadership — strategic decision-making, operational transformation, M&A, team performance management, organisational change and leading through uncertainty.
But the longer I spent in leadership, the more I realised that leadership is not only about what you know or what you do. It is also about who you are when the pressure rises. I experienced moments when confidence was tested, difficult decisions had to be made, relationships became challenging, expectations collided, and there was no obvious right answer.
These experiences taught me that some of the hardest leadership challenges cannot be solved by acquiring another technical skill or another management framework. I have come to believe that leaders can become stuck when there is a gap between the leader they have become and the leader they want to be.
Drawing on my experience as a senior corporate executive, transformation leader and ICF-certified coach, I partner with leaders to explore questions such as:
- What beliefs and assumptions are shaping the way I lead?
- What happens to me when I am under pressure?
- What difficult conversation am I avoiding?
- How do my values show up in the way I lead?
- What patterns do I repeatedly create in my relationships with others?
- What would change if I led with greater self-awareness, courage and intention?
As an ICF-certified coach, through transformation coaching, I help leaders look beneath the visible leadership challenge to understand the inner patterns that shape their behaviour, relationships and impact.
What I offer isn’t theory. It’s the leadership journey I have lived.
Testimonials
“Thank you for providing a different perspective for a mindset shift & the realisations that reminded me of what I had within myself. Appreciated your time and coaching.”

Jermaine
Profile
ICF Coach-in-Training
Jermaine Tan is a coach-in-training and military leader who is passionate about helping individuals gain clarity, build confidence, and navigate personal and professional challenges. She is currently undergoing an ICF-aligned professional coach training programme, where she is developing her skills in facilitating meaningful and transformative conversations.
With a background in the military, Jermaine has extensive experience working in structured, high-pressure environments where expectations are high and individuals are often required to perform under stress. Through her leadership journey, she has observed that many capable individuals struggle with self-doubt, lack of recognition, and uncertainty about their future, despite their efforts and potential. This has inspired her to pursue coaching as a way to better support others beyond operational roles.
Jermaine’s coaching approach is client-centred and focused on creating a safe, non-judgemental space where individuals can openly explore their thoughts and challenges. She believes that every individual already has the answers within them, and her role as a coach is to guide them through thoughtful questioning, active listening, and reflection. Her sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing clients to gain clarity, uncover blind spots, and take purposeful steps forward.
She is currently offering complimentary coaching sessions as part of her training, working with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or are seeking direction in their careers and personal lives. Through these sessions, she aims to build confidence, increase self-awareness, and support individuals in making aligned decisions.
Beyond her professional role, Jermaine is deeply committed to personal growth and continuous learning. She values authenticity, empathy, and meaningful connections, and strives to bring these qualities into every interaction.
Jermaine’s mission is to support individuals in breaking out of the “rat race,” gaining clarity on what truly matters to them, and moving forward with confidence and purpose.
Gladys Choo
Profile
ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC)
Having taken a courageous leap of faith from standing in front of classrooms to pursue a life coaching role that empowers personal and professional fulfilment, Gladys Choo is a former educator turned Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with focal interest in career coaching and guidance that encompasses a unique yet intricately-linked life coaching slant.a
Gladys draws much inspiration and derives tremendous satisfaction from journeying with her clients in overcoming the challenges they encounter to successfully transform the way they work, study and live to their fullest. Till date, she has helped more than 500 adult clients and over 1,000 tertiary-level students from across various walks of life to gain clarity about their career aspirations and development endeavours in both their professional and personal fronts.
Prior to her present coaching stints, Gladys was a senior educator with a proven teaching track record that spanned more than a decade across various government secondary schools and varying student abilities. She is conversant with strategies to connect with youths while leveraging a wealth of grounded, real-world experiences to effectively engage and understand them. Being a proud mother of two girls and fortunate enough to realise an arduous mid-career transition beyond just simply returning to the workplace, Gladys’ life experiences as a career woman and working mum makes her relatable to women confronting similar challenges in these difficult stages of life.
Gladys’ proud passion lies in making a difference, both in shaping the lives of her clients to set them up for success and in lending women and youths much-needed clarity (and a helping hand!) in navigating the hurdles of realising their place in society to live their best lives.

Janice Zhao
Profile
ICF Coach-in-Training
Janice Zhao is a leadership and career development coach-in-training with over 16 years of Talent & Organization Development experience across global MNCs. She has partnered with leaders at different levels and diverse stakeholders across local, regional and global contexts. Her cross-cultural experience has shaped her appreciation of different perspectives, cultural nuances and the importance of inclusion and diversity.
Her professional experience has given her an appreciation of the relationship between individual growth and organizational effectiveness. Developing people is not simply about attending training or achieving the next promotion. It also involves understanding what a person does well, what energizes and motivates him/her, and how his/her values and aspirations fit with the realities of the working environment or the situations.
Janice believes coaching is about the person, first and foremost. She sees a coach as someone who walks alongside a client through a tunnel, holding the light to help them see more clearly—not to choose the path for them, but to help them discover their own. Through reflection, thoughtful questions and encouragement, she hopes to help clients understand who they are, what they truly want, and why they want it. For her, this understanding matters more than simply finding an answer or achieving a goal.
The journey may involve pauses, doubts, detours and moments of uncertainty. Janice respects that each person has their own pace and process. Sometimes, a breakthrough might be realizing that the original destination no longer matters, and choosing a different path. Her role is to create space for clients to explore, question and discover.
Ultimately, Janice sees coaching as successful when clients develop greater clarity about themselves, self-trust and ownership of their choices. She hopes they will become able to hold the light themselves and navigate what lies ahead, whether the future brings sunshine, stars or storms. Coaching cannot promise an easy journey, but it can support people in making choices that are genuinely their own and moving forward with a stronger understanding of who they are and what matters to them.
Outside work, Janice is a mother of two growing children. Parenting has brought her close to the everyday questions of growth, responsibility, confidence and how to support someone while allowing them to learn and make choices for themselves. Like many working parents, she navigates the competing demands of career and family, and understands that people make decisions within real-life responsibilities and constraints. This personal experience informs her interest in how individuals define success, balance priorities and decide what matters most to them. She does not assume that one person’s priorities or answers should fit another; she values understanding each person’s own circumstances and perspective.
Janice continues to develop her coaching practice through her ICF coaching pathway. She approaches this development with a commitment to learning, self-reflection and professional integrity. Her aim is to support individuals navigating career decisions and leadership growth to understand themselves more deeply and take ownership of their development.

Ng Lai Har
Profile
Lai Har is a coach-in-training with a genuine passion for people and a deep commitment to supporting individuals as they navigate life transitions, personal challenges and the pursuit of a more intentional and fulfilling life. Her journey into coaching is rooted in a curiosity about people—their stories, struggles, aspirations and potential for growth.
She brings with her a rich tapestry of life and professional experiences. Having served for over 15 years in Singapore’s education sector, both in schools and at the Ministry of Education headquarters, she subsequently ventured into entrepreneurship, managing a home-based business and a family hardware retail business before eventually selling the latter. As a wife and mother to a young adult son, she also understands the joys and complexities of family life. Outside of work, she enjoys singing in a choir. These diverse experiences have deepened her appreciation of the challenges, choices and transitions people face, while nurturing her adaptability, resilience and empathy.
Warm, attentive and encouraging, she seeks to create a safe and trusting coaching space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood and valued. Through deep listening, she endeavours to understand not just their circumstances, but also the emotions, values, identity and underlying beliefs that shape their perspectives and choices.
Her coaching style is reflective, clear and uplifting. Through thoughtful and succinct questions, she invites clients to deepen their self-awareness, explore fresh perspectives and discover what truly matters to them. She brings a positive and encouraging presence to the coaching conversation, helping clients translate insights into meaningful action.
At the heart of her coaching is a genuine belief in each person’s capacity for growth and change. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside others on their journeys of self-discovery, supporting them as they gain greater clarity, make intentional choices and move forward with renewed confidence and purpose.
Testimonials:
“I like Lai Har’s approach of prompting but not giving answers. She has the maturity and depth of experience to understand issues, yet not jumping to judgement or providing canned answers. The experience is co-working and exploratory.” KM
“Open-minded to hearing problems and facilitates discussion towards realistic and constructive solutions.” E

Suxian Seow
Profile
Suxian is a clarity and insight coach for thoughtful, high-performing professionals – the capable ones who hold everything together on the outside and quietly wonder, on the inside, what they actually want.
By day, she is Chief of Staff at a Singapore wealth-tech firm, where she sits at the intersection of strategy, people and pressure. She is leading commercial teams, developing first-time managers, and untangling cross-functional knots. Coaching found her sideways: mentoring new hires, talking teammates through career crossroads, running the occasional goal-mapping session. Somewhere along the way she noticed these were the hours that didn’t feel like work.
For a long time, she was better at seeing others than herself. She lived the “successful but secretly running on empty” chapter – composed outside, impossible standards inside, and eventually had to do her own slow work: strengths, somatic awareness, learning to let herself be seen. That season is why she coaches. Not because she has it all figured out, but because she knows the terrain, and she knows how much it helps to have someone walk it with you.
In sessions, she mostly listens for what isn’t being said and reflects back what she notices. Fair warning: she is kind, but she doesn’t do comfortable lies. If your story has a hole in it, she’ll ask about the hole. She won’t hand you answers, and she won’t pretend not to see what you’re avoiding. If you want to be agreed with, she’s not your coach. If you want to finally hear the thing you’ve been talking around – she is.
She is currently an ICF Coach-in-Training, building her practice one honest conversation at a time. She draws on systems thinking, but holds every framework lightly – the person in front of her matters more than any model.
Outside of work, she journals, reads across psychology and philosophy, and is picking up qigong. She believes in meeting people where they are, not where they “should”be.
Her core belief: you don’t need fixing. You need to be seen clearly – starting with yourself.

Tan Yee Lin
Profile
Yee Lin is a life coach-in-training who helps clients gain awareness about what is keeping them stuck and move towards what matters to them.
At the heart of her approach is a safe, non-judgmental space. Clients often find themselves giving voice to thoughts and emotions that did not previously get a chance to be expressed.
This can help them recognize blindspots, reconnect with what they desire, and see a way forward with greater clarity and alignment. Her ability to build trust helps clients feel at ease, whether they are new to coaching or have been coached before. She is often described as friendly, approachable, and safe to speak to.
Through her coaching, Yee Lin has helped clients see long-standing concerns in a new light.
These shifts have enabled clients to find the strength to begin a new project or recognize a way forward that they could not see before.
Yee Lin’s coaching is grounded in her own experience of growth. After years of struggling with severe procrastination and feeling helpless, she began the difficult work of understanding and working through her limitations. Over time, she let go of the label of “procrastinator” and started taking action towards a life that makes her feel alive.
Today, alongside her role as a senior HR professional in a multinational company, Yee Lin is pursuing her childhood dream of singing on stage despite having no formal training. People have described her stage presence as inspiring. Singing has also deepened her connection with emotional expression, which is something she brings into her coaching by making roomfor emotions that may be difficult to voice. She has seen how acknowledging these emotions can help clients understand what is keeping them stuck.
As Yee Lin continues to walk her own path of growth, she understands the courage and commitment that change requires. She wants to support others in connecting with what they want, and take steps towards a life that genuinely matters to them.

Sweat Hui
Profile
Sweat Hui is a HR professional with over a decade of experience across diverse industries, passionate about understanding the human stories behind career choices, workplace challenges, and personal growth. Having navigated multiple transitions in her own journey, from maritime procurement to HR and exploring different professional environments beyond traditional career paths, she understands the uncertainty and courage required to embrace change. Her experiences have shaped her belief that identity extends beyond job titles and achievements.
Her own journey has shaped the way she coaches. She has never followed a perfectly linear path. She began her career in maritime procurement before transitioning into HR, where she gained experience across different industries and spent years supporting people through their own professional journeys. Along the way, she also made the decision to step outside her comfort zone and embark on a working holiday, working in completely different environments. Those experiences taught her that growth often happens when we allow ourselves to become beginners again, embrace uncertainty, and discover strengths we never knew we had.
Today, she continues to explore ways to align her personal passions with meaningful impact, including her deep interest in animal wellness. This ongoing journey reinforces her belief that growth is not about finding one perfect path, but having the courage to continuously evolve.
Outside of coaching, you’ll usually find her volunteering at dog shelters. Spending time with shelter animals has taught her patience, presence, acceptance, and meeting others exactly where they are, the exact qualities she brings into the coaching space.
Grounded in curiosity, empathy and partnership, Sweat Hui believes you are the expert of your own life, her role is to challenge perspectives and help you uncover your own insights. Whether you’re considering a career change, feeling stuck in your current path, seeking greater clarity, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, she would be honoured to walk alongside you as you create your next chapter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1) This sounds too good to be true. Is it really free?
Yes, it absolutely is! You can check out last year’s reviews on Google to hear directly from those who experienced it.
While this initiative is also a fundraiser for Ambulance Wish Singapore, there’s no obligation to donate after your session—it’s completely up to you. Our coaches are volunteering because coaching has transformed their own lives, and they’re passionate about paying it forward.
As an ECI community, we believe in making coaching accessible to more people, so whether you’re curious, seeking clarity, or just wondering what coaching can do for you—this is your chance to experience it, no strings attached.
2) Why do we need to attend this in person? Can we do it over Zoom?
We get it—meeting new people in person can sometimes feel awkward. But here’s why we designed this as an in-person experience:
Vibe Check & Chemistry Match – Coaching is deeply personal, and finding the right coach matters. Meeting face-to-face allows you to get a real sense of their energy, approach, and whether they’re the right fit for you. Even if you read through the coaches’ profiles, the real-life experience can feel completely different—just like how someone’s LinkedIn profile or resume might look great, but you only get a real sense of their personality and working style when you interact with them in person.
Immersive & Comfortable Setting – We know social settings can feel weird, so we’ve crafted a guided experience to make interactions easy and natural. You won’t be left wondering what to do—we’ve tested and refined this to ensure a smooth, comfortable process for everyone. This has been tested and proven, so don’t worry about arriving alone too!
Connect with Our Coaching Community – You’ll get the chance to mingle with different coaches, ask questions, and experience firsthand what coaching can offer—all in a supportive and welcoming space.
So, take the leap! We promise it’ll be worth it. 😊
3) What happens after I sign up on the link?
Once you sign up, you’ll receive a WhatsApp message with step-by-step instructions to the location. We know that trying something new—especially coaching—can feel a little awkward, so this helps ensure you feel comfortable and know exactly what to expect.
This also creates an open channel for communication, where you can ask us anything about the event, and we can provide updates or additional details as needed.
