Manifesto: Who Do You Want To Be?

I want to share with you one of my favorite tools that I learned from one of my favorite coaches Rich Litvin called Manifesto. Most of the time, we think about what do we want to do. We spend less time thinking about who do we want to be. I believe both are equally important. Creating my personal manifesto has helped me…

Wisdom from Elmo

I can’t believe it’s almost the middle of the month of January 2025! I feel like the New year was just yesterday. I guess we are all have gone back to our “normal” life however it looks like. Today, let’s keep things light, especially now that things are getting back to normal. 😁 So I’ve…

Break and Celebrate

I love being a coach. It’s incredibly rewarding to support others on their journey of self-discovery and growth, witnessing transformation right in front my eyes.

You Always Have A Choice

I’ve often heard my clients say, “I don’t have a choice.”. It’s a common statement that shows a sense of being trapped or helpless. And yes, sometimes I feel that too.

It’s not that scary..

Okay, l’ve been feeling anxious since last week. The reason is because this week is the start of the new semester which means I will be back teaching in class, and I will teach a new subject! To give you a little background, I’ve been teaching part-time at a university in Jakarta for eight years…

Uncomfortable decisions

There are countless decisions we make daily. Some are insignificant, while others can profoundly impact our lives. I was thinking about some ‘crazy’ decisions that I made for the past decade – big and small. But here’s the thing, there’s a silver lining to it. All these decisions that I remember are those uncomfortable ones.…

How would you show up if..

From what I observed from my personal journey, and through hundreds of sessions with clients, I noticed a recurring theme when it comes to what’s holding us back.. Many times in life, we are too afraid to take that first step of change that we knew in our hearts would change our lives and bring…
