Testimonials

“I met once a month with Ling Ling over four months and it was enough to change my life. Ling Ling is an amazing listener with an incredibly calming presence. The fact that we met remotely did not diminish her ability to pick up on things I felt too nervous to say, the questions behind the questions or the root causes behind seemingly harmless situations that bothered me. Within the first 20 minutes of the first session, she was able to pick up on key thought patterns that were holding me back and offered a variety of concrete tools to try both on my own and with her. I appreciated that she never forced any idea or technique on me. She carefully and respectfully explained her recommendations and gave me space to decide if, how and when to move forward with it. I never regretted any choice I made to lean into her suggested activities. We were able to discuss everything from challenges I face as an immigrant to difficult childhood memories to fostering a culture of respect at work. It's hard to describe how much her support meant to me as a senior leader in a high growth environment. I didn't expect to use the words 'healing' and 'peacefulness' in the context of executive coaching but this is exactly what I experienced with Ling Ling. The groundedness I gained from our conversations has helped me be more effective in both my personal and professional lives. I refer to her meticulous session notes often and am a lighter and happier co-worker, boss, friend, sister and daughter because of her. I highly recommend Ling Ling.”

“In the 3 months that I have worked with Ling Ling, I've already experienced a remarkable transformation her coaching has brought to my work and life. As an academic physician, I've struggled to develop a healthy work-life balance and am constantly stressed by the need to be more productive in a demanding job where I am pulled in many directions. Through our sessions together, Ling Ling helped me to develop clarity about myself, my goals, and the self-limiting beliefs that are holding me back. She helped me to take steps to overcome my insecurities and develop the mindset as well as habits that enable me to progress towards my goals. In these few short months, I've felt more energized, confident, and fulfilled at work than I've ever been. I've also felt happier, more balanced, and have deepened connections with colleagues as well as friends and family. This is my first coaching experience and it has well exceeded my expectations of the positive changes coaching can bring about in my life.”

“I had the privilege to be coached by Ling Ling for over half a year, at arguably one of the most challenging period of my life when I was experiencing low mental health postpartum and difficulties to make progress towards my goals. Ling Ling first invited me to share and quantify concrete goals for our coaching. Sessions after sessions, Ling Ling carefully listened, asked questions, offered tools and gave homework. We also had a shared a Notion page where I shared noteworthy events that happened between sessions. Knowing she would read every single word and add extremely relevant comments and questions to invite to dig deeper made me feel extremely supported even in overwhelming times. Overtime, Ling Ling helped me come to the realisation that for me, three steps are needed to remove barriers to achieving my goals: 1) listening to my body to gain awareness of the bottlenecks, 2) peeling the layers to understand what’s underneath, 3) using tools to shift to my desired state. This is very empowering as it gives me a process that works for me and that I can trust, therefore increasing my confidence that no matter what issues happen in the future, I have what it takes in me to come out on top. Thank you Ling Ling for all that you are and all that you gave. I am immensely grateful.”

"What you get out of coaching depends on how much you put in. Part of it is also being in the right environment that allows for this work, and Ling Ling is very skilled at creating a safe space to allow for profound self-discovery and introspection. Her sessions, astute observations and insightful questions helped give clarity to situations and problems that I had been pondering for years on my own, and she introduced me to a variety of tools and resources that will help me get to where I want to go. If you find yourself wondering how to reach your full potential in life, Ling Ling can help you get there - invest in yourself!"

"It is hard to put into words the impact of Ling Ling's presence in my life, but I will try. She is a powerful and truly gifted coach, and an extraordinarily beautiful soul. I feel safe, seen, heard, and nourished by her in a way that is rare to find in this world. Her presence and support has been invaluable as I navigated an incredibly challenging time and now, as I build and start a new chapter. If you have been led to her, it is for a reason. She is a true gem and the one you want in your corner if you want to thrive and fulfill your purpose."

“Being coached by Ling Ling was deeply healing. It feels like resting on water that gently supports you and gives you all the time and space that you need to process your feelings, thoughts and experiences. Just by being with feelings that are not easy to be with, and having a coach like Ling Ling witness it, promotes such a deep sense of self-love, and self-worth, and a new perspective. Ling Ling observed how I was in relationships with these feelings/thoughts, reflected it back to me, named it, plus gently and firmly provided structures - a powerful question, a request, a visualization - that would help me to keep growing and developing new mental habits after each session. To me it felt like the best way to support life transformation. Ling Ling has a talent to provide this safe space where sustainable transformation happens. It's both therapeutic/healing, and action-oriented. Visualizations and somatic approaches often work for me, and Ling Ling is very skillful in them.”

"What Ling Ling does goes beyond coaching. She has an ability to not only listen to what you're saying about the issue or problem you're facing, but also listen to what you're not saying - and finds a way to help you work through that as well. I would recommend Ling Ling to anyone facing major growth, a challenging issue that needs quick resolution or a perspective that changes the way you look at your own. You will look at your challenges differently once you walk through them with her"

“Ling Ling has a unique ability to make her presence feel close and palpable across oceans and through screens, I was struck in my session with how she cut through my busy-ness of business and within 5 minutes was creating on a more fundamental level with me; I found ling Ling to take big risks in following her intuition within the session which unlocked capacity in me to do the same and connect those risky ideas to my evolving identity and work - she is a rare breed who is as experienced in the rational realm of systematic thinking and now equally in tune with the flow, what is unmatched is her ability to weave between these two ways of being to be adaptively in service to me as a builder of bridges between new ideas and systems through experiences. Thank you Ling Ling - long may the conversations continue.”

"I had a wonderful coaching session with Ling Ling. She is highly insightful -- I'm amazed at how much we got out of just an hour! She also complemented discussion with a visualization exercise, which I hadn't done before and found very powerful. It's obvious how much Ling Ling cares about helping you move forward in your thinking, and I'd highly recommend speaking with her.”

"Ling Ling is a phenomenal listener. I've had a chance to connect with Ling Ling twice, and both times she showed genuine interest in learning more about my career path and vision going forward.  What makes me a fan of Ling Ling is her remarkable ability to ask exactly the right questions to elicit deep self-reflection. I strongly value Ling Ling's partnership and have the highest confidence in her ability to help leaders develop."

“Ling Ling's comments are spot on. Her insights are based on her sharp intellect, coupled with high intuition and empathy. She helped me dive deep, beyond my conscious mind and into my inner wisdom, using visualizations. During our session, she helped me understand where my frustration about my career was coming from, and she also helped me see how to use this frustration constructively”

"Ling Ling's coaching is like the cool ocean tides touching your feet as u sit on the shore. Excitement waiting for the tide /her session and the session goes by in a blink but leaves u with a lasting impact. It's healing , magical and full of joy. She is the most compassionate human one can ever meet in their lifetime. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of her coaching , she is passionate about her work and her clients. She always strives to learn and bring new tools and practices to the sessions. Her authenticity touches souls!”

“Ling Ling is one of the more intuitive, instinctive and insightful people I have had the pleasure of engaging with. After she sets the framework of how she delivers her services, within minutes she is able to get to the heart of the issues you have laid out. Her somatic approach is especially useful as it allows you to encompass a holistic perspective of your pathways forward. She is gentle yet firm, allowing for one to get comfortable in a process that can be uncomfortable as you face certain truths. I feel excited to be working with her and look forward to our sessions.”
