I am a conscientious and people-oriented leader with 20 years experience in hospitality management; passionate about developing meaningful relationships with clients and maintaining teams engagements to build lasting loyalty. Over the years of my career, I have worked in front service operations to the commercial side of Sales & Events Management in different international branded hotels before landing on my current favourite role as the travelling specialist for one of top 20 Fortune Best Hotel Companies to Work where I help setting up new hotel opening teams, sales & event systems implementation and brand transitions. One thing I really enjoyed about my work is handling the complexity of team dynamics where I’ll be partnering with leaders to co-create safe workspace for their teams.
During my time in the hospitality this far, I have had the privilege of interacting with hotel customers, mentors & colleagues from all walks of life; whom I have so much respect of and inspired to hear their stories, learnt how they’ve grown and changed in overcoming fears & struggles. I draw inspiration from their stories to incorporate inclusivity, unconditional safety and positivity in my life, workplace and my social circle.

I’m a serial corporate nomad, constantly moving between locations across the region but I’ve always enjoy the newness & the mystery of a foreign land. Whenever I’m in a new place, I will chase after their best
location to soak myself in the sunset experience and suss out their hidden local joints to people-watch and immerse in the local culture.
My solo work travels provide the necessary me-time discovering myself while discovering the world. I learnt to enjoy my own companionship, improve on self-care; and work on self-acceptance and trust 🙂
These first-hand experience in constantly adapting to new places is akin to stepping outside of my comfort zone, adapting to cultural diversity, creating a sense of belonging and fitting-in.
You are the expert of your own life. Imagine you being the driver and I’m the reliable GPS. You control the journey and I observe where you want to go and organize all the different ways to get there. You choose when and where you take a different route and I empower you to reach your destination by trusting the maps provided by your mind, body, and emotions. You still get where you want to go, but sometimes it’s a scenic route.
My role is to shine a light on the unexplored paths & blind spots through the lens of curiosity & openness as you navigate deeper to find clarity and resolutions to what you are looking for. I will provide a safe space where you can express yourself without judgement, and offer my fullest presence to observe, to probe, to be the honest sounding board and a resource to co-create ideas together.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
In my opinion, this is no easy task and can often feel like a lonely one. I think we all instinctively know what we want to be… it’s just some of us are a little hesitant to “break-out”. This is where coaching helps.
