I spent over a decade inside complex organizations—scaling teams, driving growth, and leading transformation across Fortune 100s, Big 4 firms, and high-growth ventures.

On paper, I was the definition of impact and performance...

But when transitioning from corporate to entrepreneurship, I faced a different kind of challenge—one no playbook had prepared me for.

Despite all my experience, I struggled...

- I tried to copy models that didn’t fit who I was.
- I doubted myself. Compared. Looped.
- Back and forth, over and over—I was exhausted.

And exhaustion wasn’t the life I wanted.
I wanted to love it all. To enjoy it all.

Until one day—I fell to my knees—and I finally saw it:

I was playing a game of Next Level Moves with rules I didn’t even understand.

I realized that to reach my next level, I had to go deeper—beyond strategy, beyond mindset, into identity, nervous system, heart, and soul.
I had to D.A.R.E to start designing life, business, and success on my own terms.

That’s how The Next Level Moves Method was born—built on my D.A.R.E. Framework:

1. Diagnose what blocks your Next Level signal.
2. Address what distorts it.
3. Rewire to broadcast it clean.
4. Embody so the signal is you.

This approach blends the precision of coaching, the depth of identity, the clarity of mindset, the release of healing, and the strength of a regulated nervous system—collapsing time and turning the impossible into inevitable.

Now, I work with visionary leaders ready to do it differently.
The rebels. The visionaries.
Those who refuse to live by default—and are ready to design success on their own terms.

I have three questions for you:

1. Do you D.A.R.E. to become your next level?
2. Can you afford not to become your next level?
3. Are you just curious—or serious about it all?

Welcome. 

DM me to know more.

Hello beautiful people,

Thanks to those of you who reached out to check if all is fine,
As I haven’t been present here lately.

You’re so kind. You mean a lot to me. Thank you. 

I’m great.

I’ve been occupied with work - a blend of coaching, advisory, and consulting projects. I’m grateful for every client who trusted me with their own executive transitions, trusted me to work directly with their teams, and allowed me to impact their companies on a larger scale.

I can’t find words to express my gratitude. 🙏 

It starts to feel like all the entrepreneurial challenges,
the rapid growth, the constant stretching…
They are starting to pay back.

After almost 3 years in business, and pivoting a few times from different programs and offerings (which, by the way, all led to pretty much the same outcomes), I’m now clearer than ever that the majority of my coaching work
will be in the space of 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than supporting executives as they step into new roles, new expectations, and new challenges - while joining an ecosystem undergoing some of the fastest changes driven by digital transformation and AI.

And if you’re in your own stretch season - stepping into something new, navigating transition, or finding your next level. Keep on going. 
These moments shape you in ways you’ll only understand later.

----------

So here's my invitation for you:

- If you’re going through a transition right now.
- If you’re a CEO or on a Board and want better onboarding and transition support for your new executive hires.
- Or if you’re a CEO looking for a fractional, trusted People & Culture Advisor or an Organisational Development Consultant.

Let’s grab coffee and chat. Many great conversations are coming up. 🙏

When you stop developing, you stop advancing.

As I work with executives in transition to their next-level roles,
I can tell which ones will succeed beyond their own measures.

And the ones who succeed are those who, despite a successful track record:

- Stay curious.
- Stay humble.
- Ask instead of assuming.
- Listen more than they speak.
- Update their playbooks constantly.
- Respect others over ego glorification.
- Prioritize leading change effectively over shiny-object distractions.

Because the environments we work and lead in today
are like nothing we’ve seen before:

- The number of generations working together - unprecedented.
- The level of stress and burnout across the globe - unprecedented.
- The pace of deployed technologies - unprecedented.

If everything around us is like nothing we’ve seen before…
We must stop pretending we’ve “been there and done it.”

No - we haven’t.
And it’s okay.

- It’s okay to stumble.
- It’s okay to ask for help.

At the end of the day, we’re all doing so many things for the first time.
May we lead by example. 

I wish you the best week ahead!

As someone who grew up in a small village,
I spent most of my childhood and teenage years working on the farm.

I used to believe that the harder you worked,
the more recognition and success you earned.

That belief served me on the farm.
But the moment I stepped into real executive work, consulting with Boards, CEOs, and complex teams all moving in different directions.

I saw how quickly it collapses at the leadership level.

Because in the executive world, I learned this:

- You can’t lead well if you can’t see the full picture.
- You can’t make good decisions if you’re reacting to everyone else’s urgency.
- And you can’t create impact if your efforts aren’t aligned with what your key stakeholders actually need, no matter how hard you work.

That was the turning point.
Hard work wasn’t the problem.
It was working hard on the wrong things.

The executives I see rise are the ones who can:

1. See what truly matters,
2. Pull stakeholders into one direction,
3. And turn that into a clear execution plan people can follow.

That’s what builds trust.
That’s what earns credibility.
Not sacrifice. Not longer hours.

Today’s leaders operate under pressure, complexity,
and expectations from every angle.

The ones who I see thrive bring clarity where others bring speed.

Because without clarity at the top, even the hardest work
turns into confusion, misalignment and costly course corrections.

----------

What’s your way of turning a vague, shifting picture
into one that everyone can align around and help shape?

Every time we meet, Dr. Kenny Chong, DSocSci, and Tauseef K., 
I see how life gets better for us all.

I love celebrating your achievements
and sharing all the golden nuggets
as we pioneer our way forward.

- Grateful to have you as a close ally.
- Grateful to have you in my life.

I look forward to our next catch-up,
as we deep dive into the 2026 Chinese Calendar
and plan the year guided by the wisdom of Chinese Metaphysics.

Happy weekend.

Any preparation beats no preparation. 
Every time.

If I were stepping into a new executive role tomorrow,
these are the exact 9 things I would do immediately
to increase my chances of a successful transition.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝗱 𝗱𝗼:

𝟭. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹-𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.
I’d align with every key stakeholder on what success looks like in the first 30 / 60 / 90 days.
No assumptions. No guessing. Full clarity.

𝟮. 𝗠𝗮𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.
I’d identify, map, and segment every stakeholder, their influence, interests, priorities, and pressure points, so I know how to navigate the landscape from the start.

𝟯. 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻.
I’d distill the noise into the top 3–5 priorities that actually move the business and build an execution plan around them.

𝟰. 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀.
I’d identify 2–3 high-value wins that matter to the CEO, the board, the stakeholders, and the team and deliver them fast.

𝟱. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
I’d upgrade my communication to board-level clarity: concise, structured, and impossible to misinterpret.

𝟲. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.
I’d ensure my presence, decisions, behaviour, energy and pressure-handling signal stability, confidence, and direction from day one.

𝟳. 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁.
I’d run a proper team assimilation session to understand expectations, ways of working, and what they need from me and what they can always expect from me.

𝟴. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺.
I’d set clear standards, role clarity, decision rights, and feedback loops, the basics most teams lack but desperately need.

𝟵. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘆.
I’d step in as the change catalyst, guiding the team through uncertainty, setting direction, and creating the stability people need to perform.

----------

𝟰𝟬%+ 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟴 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀.
And the major root cause for it is this:
Executives walk in without a real plan. Unprepared. 

Preparation is the difference between:

- Frustration and friction
and 
- Clear priorities you can drive with confidence.
