About Me
I am a firm believer in having a balance in every aspect of life. Many years in spiritualism have taught me that being stable-minded in all situations is the key to bliss.
Equipped with professional training as a Certified Coach, I am passionate to bring happiness to everyone around me.
The idea of happiness and success is very different for each of us. For people in the spiritual path, having a roof over their heads, food to eat and a happy family is everything. For some, money, and more money, is success. For some, power is everything. As long as people are happy doing what they are doing, life is a great journey. The challenge comes when we are faced with bottlenecks in our journey. When we cannot just talk it out with a friend or spouse. That’s where I come in. Your Life Coach. With undivided attention, I provide you a confidential space to introspect your challenges, and find your way to success – totally defined by you!
My Professional Journey
I bring with me a background of engineering and management, working for over sixteen years in multinational engineering companies. My corporate life has given me the opportunity to work with people with a myriad of cultures, races and work-style, which has been a very enriching experience in understanding how and why people think and behave in a particular way.
My official sojourns to France and Baden (Switzerland) have opened my eyes that everyone is different, and everyone’s the same! Deep down, we are all humans with our perfect imperfections. The so-called ‘aloof’ populace was the one who left their work to point out directions to me, who held long conversations with me though I missed half of what they said in their national language! All the prejudices I was fed with disappeared into their tall towers and hills!
Don’t take it personally …
On the personal front, I am a mother, wife, daughter and also a volunteer, not to forget, a friend. A friend who listens, before jumping to offer advice. And listening without prejudice is the very foundation of coaching!
Personally, I am happy that I had a simple and loving childhood, content in my own small world. Books, friends, studies, my sister, my mother, my small group of simple girls and my grandparents saw me through.
It was the lack of guidance in college and early career that left me in the lurch – without a proper friend, guide or philosophers. When I look back, I wish very fervently that I had known about coaching and spiritualism. They would’ve seen me through the storms that youngsters experience when they don’t know what to do or how to think, when life throws a lemon at them. But, there was no life-altering trauma here, thanks to God. Did I mention one needs to have an attitude of gratitude? I feel blessed that I got here, in beautiful Singapore, in one piece and a lot of peace – with a loving family of my own with two beautiful children. Upon moving here a decade ago, I delved passionately into what I love doing – teaching underprivileged kids, returning to music in a big way, devoting more time to my family and of course, coaching.
And when I am not doing the above, I am busy bonding with friends, editing for a Women’s Organization, reading, playing Scrabble with my ‘love-to-win’ family and travelling. Gorgeous Singapore, so well connected with the rest of the world, has encouraged us to travel to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, Europe, and how can I leave out beautiful Malaysia!
