Recent research shows that organizations with more women in their senior leadership teams, get better financial results. Women have leadership strengths that are particularly well suited to the global service economy in a rapidly changing world. While women are successfully taking up management roles, few make it to the highest ranks. Companies that want to retain and promote women must make a special development effort.
That’s why I’m offering special coaching and training programs to develop women managers in both the upper and middle ranks. The programs are based on McKinsey’s Centered Leadership Model, a well researched framework designed specifically to help women leaders enhance their skills and mindsets so that they are more engaged and committed, more resilient and more influential.
To find out how you can bring women’s development programs to your organization, or to find out about public programs, please contact us.
“I found Angela to be an amazing coach! She uses the skills of listening and questioning extremely well, demonstrates empathy and understanding at all times, and knows when to challenge me or ask for my commitment to action. She is non-judgmental, positive, and completely trustworthy. I recommend Angela highly because she is honest, has integrity and is well respected in the Hong Kong market. She is well trained, experienced and ‘walks the talk’.”

“The coaching gave me an opportunity to step back and take status of my life. I now trust myself much more and have more confidence. I went from thinking it would be nice to do ‘so and so’, to actually making it real. It was definitely worth it.”
Entrepreneur
“Even though I was talking to Angela about my problems, all the solutions were coming out of my mouth. I found it very empowering. I might have overcome my problems without a coach, but not within months. It might have taken years to sort out the root of my problems” Read the whole article here.”
Godfrey Chu, Consultant
“My colleagues have noticed the difference in me in the past 6 months since I started coaching. I don’t take things so seriously and I don’t get involved when I don’t need to. I can delegate better and I let my staff handle their issues by themselves. My doctor was very surprised that my health is excellent now.” [He had high blood pressure.]

“You’ve really helped me to turn things around. Now I’m making an effort to do things and speak up positively for what I want. You put some points in my head that really helped, especially ‘What are you going to do about it?’”

「I feel a big difference since I started the coaching. I’m more sure of myself and have more insight into things. Before, I used to brush off my emotions. Now I can look at them, analyze them and deal with the situation. I’m no longer too proud or cowardly to tell people what is bothering me. Before everything was a problem and now I have a just a few little problems.」
Manager
“Angela’s cheerful nature with her warm and friendly attitude facilitated me to express my inner feelings and frustrations comfortably though I have known her for a very short time. She was sensitive and patient in helping me to articulate my problems so as to figure out some solutions. Apart from attentive listening, she was able to give me insightful advice, suggestions and encouragement at appropriate times. I appreciate that she has never imposed her ideas on me but provided alternative perspectives for my reference. In three months’ time, I have achieved certain goals set up during our coaching sessions and am in a better shape personally.”

Through coaching, I was able to make some dramatic changes in both my personal and professional life.”
