Helping You Move Forward

My career journey to where I am today, began when I was 11 years old. I had written my Common Entrance Examination (SEA) at primary school, when I received my results, I was devastated. I saw myself as a failure, but my teacher and parents believed in me and I started believing in myself. 

​

I was grateful that I had another opportunity to resit the exams, although I was successful, it was not for any prestigious school. At Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary School, as fate would have it, I fell short of obtaining my full certificate by just one subject...you guessed it mathematics.

​

On hindsight, over the years I realised that numbers was not my strength, but working with people was. I spent almost 30 years in the world of work, during this time, colleagues and friends would come to me for advice on various matters, work issues being at the top of the list.

Becoming A Coach

​

Fast forward to 2010, whilst having a conversation with a former colleague and friend, I became aware of life coaching. I was immediately intrigued and decided to research for myself what life coaching was about.

For me to move forward, I had to reflect...to my 11 year old self failing my Common Entrance Examinations; going to Junior and Senior Secondary Schools and my 5 year search to landing my first job. All of that is what inspired me to finding my niche in Career Coaching.

When I first started working at the age of 24, I intentionally decided to follow my deceased father's advice of pursuing my education and that became my biggest investment. I obtained Certificates and Diplomas in Computer Science, Human Resources, Industrial Relations, Labour Laws, Project Management, Marketing and Alternative Dispute Resolution. I am most proud of completing my undergraduate degree in Business Administration, where I was awarded the prize for best Dissertation. 

​

Failures, my various jobs, the network I created, my experiences and life's challenges was preparing me for my role as an entrepreneur. That was my goal for retirement, but when I was laid off from my full-time job in 2018, I took a bold step and made a decision to become a full-time Coach.
