~ Our Needs and Drivers ~ As soon as I graduated, one of my first few jobs was in Sales & Marketing. I discovered quite early on, that no matter what the range of products and services that I had, if I couldn’t uncover the needs of the customer, my sales goals were cold storageContinue reading “FLOW5 CORE – Clarify Needs and Catalyze Focus”

Maintains Presence
Yesterday, I decided to switch-off my social media PRESENCE, i.e. no participation in any of my online social platforms as a social experiment for myself. It took a whole lot of effort not to be curious of what’s that new filter that Instagram came up, it took some discipline not to scroll LinkedIn for thatContinue reading “Maintains Presence”
FLOW5 C.O.A.C.H. Process
One of my mantras in life has always been go with the flow as I believe that there is a higher intervention to the continuum of events called life. Of course, it doesn’t mean that one accepts everything that comes their way, and completely surrender to fate helpless. In coaching, now that we have understoodContinue reading “FLOW5 C.O.A.C.H.

Cultivates Trust and Safety
This caught my eye, the change from the previous competency of Establishes Trust and Intimacy to Cultivates Trust and Safety.

In today’s age of the luxury of resources & certifications, it seems that nearly every Tom, Dick and Harry (or Ali, Muthu and Lim) is a part of an unlimited space of experts, speakers, game-changers and influencers. I myself sometimes question what is the X-factor that I am trying to create for myself in thisContinue reading “Demonstrates Ethical Practice”
Facilitates Client Growth
As part of the final part of the ICF Coaching process i.e. cultivates learning & growth, the final core competency of the coaching intervention is facilitates client growth. This rings a bell on a certain quote that I come by often ~ “Knowing what’s right doesn’t mean much unless you do what’s right.” ― Theodore Roosevelt .

Coaching 101
I love how this web-torial opens up all the vulnerabilities, the challenges, the entire conundrum of WHAT HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO? For those who thought that Coaching is just to listen, give advice, help to build a plan, work on that plan, having numerous coffee conversations, everyone (including the coach) in the process isContinue reading “Coaching 101”
What Is Coaching?
The first impressions or images that pop to mind when you hear the word COACH, are from Hollywood movies of legends, sport heroes and money moghuls that have that trusted coach / advisor on the sidelines. What do these figures typically do? They watch from afar, analyze strengths & limitations, have midnight deep mindful talks,Continue reading “What Is Coaching?”

Open – Curious – Flexible – Client-Centred Diving into this session, in the midst of Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) in Malaysia, had me rethinking my whole approach towards my development as a Catalyst Coach.
