I work with women in tech to elevate their power, expand their potential, and amplify their legacy.
I partner with global companies and executives to enhance their leadership presence, foster team cultures, and drive extraordinary business growth through the following options…
Why me? As an immigrant who overcame language and cultural barriers to ascend the corporate ladder in technology, I bring a unique perspective to executive coaching and public speaking. Combined with my award-winning executive experience in a Fortune 25 company and ICF PCC credentials, I offer a powerful blend of practical insights and transformative coaching to transform a leader from the core.

How can I support you?
Are you a woman in STEM or an ally longing for something more? I am your empowering coach to support your transformation.
Or maybe you are an organization leader who wants to tap into the women’s leadership potential, elevate the executive leadership presence, and drive business growth. I am your perfect partner for coaching your amazing women and non-binary leaders.
You are a woman or non-binary leader in technology. You are doing what you love but feel you can do more. You are passionate about your work but may not be compensated properly. You like most people you interact with, but someone pushes your button. You are a great leader, but the company you are working for doesn’t have a good culture. Stay or leave? Change is constant in STEM, how can you keep up? Our life is full of competing choices and often conflicts. I want to support you in making conscious choices that you are less likely to regret later.
At work, promotions pass by and you don’t even know why. There are circles you feel are hard to get in or don’t even know. Decisions were made without your input or awareness. You are the only woman or non-binary at the table. You are interrupted by others. You have a great vision and strategy, but your stakeholders don’t buy in. You wish your team could be more responsible and independent on their own. I was that person. With motivation, vision, strategy and perseverance, I cracked the promotion code and became a technology executive in a Fortune 25 company. I will share my S.T.E.A.M. promotion strategy with you.
Your energy is drained at the end of the day, and all you want to do is to sit on the couch or go to bed, but you have to take care of the kids. You drive them to activities and then you have to worry about what’s for dinner. When reading to your kids, you have no idea what the book is about and fall asleep. I was that person. Now I have a BIG energy reservoir and rarely feel tired.
You wish your partner could help you more if you have someone to rely on. Or, you may have to face all the challenges in life by yourself and wish you had a shoulder to cry on. I was that person - a single mother raising young kids alone for more than a decade. Now I am happily married to my soulmate and we support each other unconditionally.
You tell yourself that you want to take care of your mind and body and exercise. Before you know it, you need to go to bed to catch some sleep so that life can go on the next day. You feel guilty that you didn’t do it (AGAIN!) and promise you will do it tomorrow and the cycle repeats. Where is the TIME?! I was that person. Now I run races throughout the year. I ski at the Rocky Mountains. I dance at festivals. I read dozens of books each year. I write blogs regularly. I volunteer for the good causes. I have all the time I need.
Your kids grow into teenagers. They roll their eyes at you. They don’t want to talk to you because they don’t feel you understand them. You want to raise them to be responsible people. You show them the right principles with every opportunity you have. They are distant to you. You feel hurt and don’t know why this happens to you. You have done everything you could to raise them, so why do they not understand that and appreciate you? I was that person. Now, I have a loving relationship with my kids, and they feel comfortable to talk to me about everything. I don’t judge them and don’t remember the last time I raised my voice. My children told me “I love you so much mama and the reason I have been able to be anything in my life has been because of you. I look up to you a lot and I am really thankful you’re my mom.”
Maybe you are an immigrant, life is miserable with both language and cultural barriers. Your dream is being crushed. The reality is forcing you to play small. You start questioning whether you made the right choice living in a different country. How can I ever be able to fit in without losing my own identity? I was that person. I became introverted temporarily. Now, I am a professional speaker and a member of the National Speakers Association. I give speeches regularly to global Fortune 500 companies and tech conferences to inspire people around the world. I will show you the path to mastering communication skills and executive presence, which are critical to your success.
You wish life could be easier. You wish your influence could be bigger. You wish you could support more people. You volunteer here and there, feeling exhausted and lacking focus. I was that person. Now I am laser focused on supporting Women and Non-Binary in STEM become leaders they want to be and live a happier and more fulfilled life.
The only limits are the ones we put on ourselves, including the belief that the status quo cannot be changed. What are the ways that you are limited or unfulfilled?
People hire coaches for many reasons. Often, they’re driven by dissatisfaction in life or a longing for something more, a desire to feel more fulfilled, to improve their leadership skills, to make more money or have a better relationship with their loved ones. Research links coaching to increased income, job promotions, and higher levels of financial satisfaction.
A new study provides promising evidence that iPEC’s Core Energy Coaching™ model can help people increase their income and move into leadership roles in their career. The same data also shows that people who work with a Core Energy Coach report feeling more satisfied with their financial situation. I was that person who felt something is missing. iPEC coaching transformed my life and moved me to the next level, where there is no limit but only opportunities. I don’t need to wish anymore. I am living my dream and I design and create my own life.
I am here for you. I want to support you to establish or improve your influence at work and in life so that you can be happier, more confident, having an executive presence, feeling more fulfilled, leaving no regret behind and have more time for the most important things in life. My life philosophy is “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” I am HERE…I am that CHANGE…for you!
Testimonials
Bonnie Zhang, Finance Manager, Fortune 50 company
“The coaching elevated me by (1) increased awareness of my energy levels including energy blocks that are holding me back; (2) mindset shift from “I have to” or “I need” to “I choose to”: I take full ownership of my choices and focus on the controllable. Purposefully think through what I want and take action, one step at a time, including effective communication and relationship building; (3) extending the impact to my child and family as my reflections become part of dinner table conversations…”
“…We engage with others through energy. But more importantly, we create our own reality through the energy that we bring into every relationship, no matter if we are conscious of it or not. With the uplifting, nurturing, and anabolic energy frequency, we can build and strengthen a long-lasting relationship with others and ourselves. With depressing and catabolic energy frequency, we weaken and destroy our relationship with others and ourselves.
Through whichever energy frequency we choose to radiate, we choose how we impact others and ourselves; and ultimately, we choose what kind of reality we create for our life.
Now, with all the wisdoms that we’ve gained through our classes here with Hope…, we can be more self-aware of what level of energy frequency we are radiating, more mindful of challenging our unexamined beliefs and assumptions, and more blissful in embracing the anabolic energy…”

“In the past, I have tried various techniques to manage my emotions for professional and personal success, for example, positive psychology, non-violent communication, cognitive behavior therapy, meditation, and the philosophy of love. While these ideas are powerful and have indeed shaped my thinking and being, I've been struggling with finding a practical framework to integrate these ideas with my life, in a consistent and measurable way. When I discovered energy leadership coaching, it was immediately clear to me that I have found the framework that can integrate all my past learnings and carry me toward my goal…
This is absolutely transformational. Energy leadership allows me to see myself becoming a stabilizer wherever I go, to bring high-level energy to people around me, to lead and to influence, to inspire and to connect. None of which I thought was reachable within my grasp before joining the group coaching. It's rare in life that you get these opportunities to transcend your perceived abilities, especially in mid-life, and this is one of them…”
