Life is hard but we can all ease our suffering with a bit of guidance. Are you feeling stuck at work or in life? Do you wish for better relationships or to live the life you dream of? Are you facing one of life's major transitions such as a new job, redundancy or retirement? All of these challenges create stress and suffering but there are ways to manoeuvre through these moments with calm and poise. Having worked through my my own growth journey decades ago, I discovered that my purpose was to help others. I feel that it is now my turn to support others and guide people like you to live the life you choose. I believe my training and background in psychology, neuroscience and leadership maturity offers a distinctive experience to people so they can find ways to soothe their suffering and discover their own path in life. We are all individual beings with our own unique blend of experiences, influences and cultures but I firmly believe that everyone can find their way to fulfilment with a little bit of guidance. To give you some background, I have almost 25 years' experience setting up, partnering and leading teams across Europe and Asia in both industrial corporates and early-stage companies, I am passionate about what makes people succeed and grow. I began my career as a mechanical engineer at Ford Motor Company after completing my degree at Oxford University and I quickly saw that all leaders are not the same. I was motivated to become one of the people-focused leaders and so I left after 6 years to complete my MBA at London Business School and explore what leadership meant. This started my journey of exploring what makes people tick and, most importantly, how to help others, including myself, live a healthier and happier life. We don't have to stay stuck in automatic mode and watch life pass us by helplessly and nor do we have to let uncertainty and complexity overwhelm us. With self-reflection, evidence-based techniques and exercises, you too can learn to embrace change as an ally rather than a threat. We all deserve to live our best life and none of us can do it alone.

I am an executive coach, former CEO, author, and leadership development practitioner with more than three decades of international business and leadership experience. My work focuses on helping CEOs and senior executives expand their capacity to lead through complexity, transition, and transformation. Before becoming an executive coach, I spent many years as an operating executive, including serving as CEO and in other senior leadership roles. I have led organizations and teams across different countries, cultures, and stages of growth. That experience shapes how I coach today. I understand executive leadership not only from theory or observation, but from having personally carried responsibility for business results, organizational performance, people, and difficult decisions under uncertainty. I coach CEOs, C-suite executives, and senior leaders navigating significant leadership transitions and increasingly complex organizational environments. My clients include leaders stepping into larger roles, executives preparing for the C-suite, and experienced leaders who recognize that what made them successful at one level may not be sufficient for the challenges ahead. My coaching approach integrates executive experience with adult and vertical development, systems thinking, and evidence-based leadership practices. I am particularly interested in the relationship between a leader's internal development and their external effectiveness. Rather than focusing only on skills or solving the immediate problem, I help clients examine the assumptions, patterns, and meaning-making structures behind how they lead. This enables them to develop greater capacity to hold competing perspectives, navigate ambiguity, engage conflict productively, and lead increasingly complex systems. I also work systemically. An executive's effectiveness cannot be separated from the team and organization around them. Depending on the engagement, our work may therefore explore stakeholder relationships, executive team dynamics, organizational culture, strategic alignment, and the broader system within which the leader operates. My coaching style is direct, challenging, reflective, and pragmatic. I create a space where senior leaders can think openly about issues they often cannot discuss elsewhere. I do not see my role as providing executives with answers. I help them see what they are not yet seeing, question assumptions that may be limiting them, broaden the perspectives available to them, and translate new awareness into deliberate experiments and action. I am an ICF-certified coach and have worked with senior executives across industries and cultures. My international background has given me a strong appreciation for how culture, context, identity, and organizational systems influence leadership. I am comfortable working with executives whose challenges have no obvious or technically correct answer. Alongside my coaching practice, I write and speak about leadership and human development. I am the author of "Outgrow Middle Management: Accelerate Your Climb to the Top" and "CEO Potential: Transcend Self, Team, and Organization for Lasting Success in the New Age of AI". I also write the "Potential Development" newsletter and host The CEOpeek Show podcast, where I engage CEOs in conversations about leadership, growth, and the realities of leading organizations. More recently, my work has increasingly explored leadership in the age of AI. I believe AI will continue to augment many of the analytical and knowledge-based capabilities traditionally associated with leadership. At the same time, it increases the importance of distinctly human capacities such as judgment, self-awareness, perspective-taking, sense-making, relational intelligence, and the ability to navigate paradox and uncertainty. These are developmental capacities, not simply skills, and they are becoming increasingly important for senior leaders. Across all my work, I am motivated by a simple question: "What does this leader need to become capable of next?" That question keeps my coaching developmental rather than prescriptive. My goal is not simply to help executives perform better in their current circumstances, but to help them expand their capacity to lead whatever comes next.

I am an ICF-certified Professional Life and Leadership Coach with over a decade of experience across financial services, retail, food distribution, real estate, and IT. Having built and operated businesses across diverse industries and cultures, I understand firsthand the complexity of leadership, decision-making, and growth in high-pressure environments. My coaching sits at the intersection of internal transformation and external performance. With a strong foundation in neuroscience and human behavior, I help leaders and high performers develop the self-awareness required to elevate how they think, decide, and lead. When leaders gain clarity about their values, patterns, and drivers, they make sharper decisions, navigate high-stakes situations with greater composure, and align their teams with confidence and intention. For managers, this translates into stronger executive presence, clearer communication, and the ability to lead with both empathy and assertiveness. For entrepreneurs and senior leaders, it means moving from reactive decision-making to strategic clarity, especially in moments that require courage, resilience, and vision. For high performers, coaching becomes the space to recalibrate; preventing burnout, strengthening boundaries, and creating sustainable success without compromising wellbeing. Having lived and worked across cultures, I have seen that many capable professionals drift into careers and leadership styles that are misaligned with their values, which often translates to internal conflict, poor decisions, strained relationships, and exhaustion. My mission is to help individuals reconnect with who they truly are so that what they do aligns with how they lead. I believe every perceived weakness holds an underlying strength, and by leveraging these strengths, we unlock both performance and fulfillment. True harmony happens when competence meets self-awareness, and ambition is supported by inner stability. Through structured yet practical coaching conversations, I help my clients move: • From uncertainty to decisive leadership • From overwhelm to strategic clarity • From burnout to sustainable performance • From misalignment to authentic influence When internal clarity meets external action, performance is intentional and success becomes sustainable.

Leadership is rarely about having all the answers. It’s about knowing how to think clearly when the path forward isn’t obvious, having the courage to ask the harder questions, and understanding how your choices affect the people and organizations around you. That is the space where I do my best work. I coach leaders and professionals who want more from their careers and themselves—whether that means stepping into greater leadership, navigating a career transition, building confidence and executive presence, having difficult conversations, making a consequential decision, or figuring out what they actually want next. Clients come to me for a combination of thoughtful challenge and genuine support. I listen deeply, ask questions that get beneath the surface, challenge assumptions when it will help, and create a space where people can be honest about what is really going on. My goal isn't simply for you to leave a coaching conversation feeling better; it’s for you to leave seeing something differently and knowing what you want to do about it. I’m an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with a degree in Psychology and a Juris Doctor. My career has taken me through law, governance, leadership development, organizational effectiveness, executive coaching, and team leadership. Those experiences have given me a broad perspective on people, performance, organizations, and the complexities that come with leading and growing in the real world. My coaching is particularly well suited for leaders and professionals navigating growth, change, ambiguity, or a moment when the old way of doing things no longer feels right. I help clients strengthen their leadership presence, communicate with greater impact, build self-awareness and confidence, make difficult decisions, navigate relationships and organizational dynamics, and translate insight into action. I believe good coaching should be both human and useful. You should feel seen, challenged, and supported—and you should leave with greater clarity, agency, and momentum toward the person and professional you want to become.

I am an Executive Coach, Facilitator, Consultant, and Independent Trainer, operating under the brand "Verdemeta." In my most recent career, I developed the projects "Transition Space," a network of professionals working on Change, and the newly launched "Ecora," which focuses on an ecosystemic approach. Since 2000, and for about 15 years, I worked in the field of people development within companies, dealing with recruitment and training, and supporting individuals from their hiring throughout their entire development journey. Through this experience, I became increasingly involved in themes such as self-realization within one's context, the well-being of interpersonal relationships, and the effectiveness of achievement. At the peak of my corporate journey, I felt the need and desire to combine everything I had accomplished in my professional life with my love for Nature, leading me to encounter Ecopsychology. I specialized in corporate coaching and sought to merge the two experiences by creating "Green Coaching" and the "Verdemeta" brand. These experiences, combined with coaching based on the Positive Psychology approach, define my style, which focuses on developing and enhancing strengths and solution-oriented strategies, increasing awareness and personal transformation, and broadening individuals' perspectives towards goals rooted in existential and systemic themes that significantly impact achievement and performance. Today, I work as an Executive Coach, Team Coach, Facilitator, Consultant, and Group coach to help people and organizations maximize their potential and find their systemic balance. I am also the author of the book "Nature Speaks to You - A Guide to Ecocentric Personal Growth."

By focusing on empowering leaders and parents to lead from the inside out, Ping Ping has been able to put the coaching expertise she developed at the Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL) to great use. Over the years, Ping Ping's strengths at Lead With EQ and SkillsFuture Singapore have garnered recognition for helping clients rediscover their confidence, particularly leaders navigating difficult stakeholders, and supporting parents of children with ADHD to build deeper, more connected relationships with their kids. Ping Ping may spend her days coaching executives and senior leaders across Singapore and globally, but it's the moment a client has a breakthrough, when leaders regain their confidence to step into their own authority or parents who finally feel truly connected to their children, that gets her up in the morning. When she's not coaching, Ping Ping loves unwinding at a cafe with good friends, catching a movie, and spending as much time as possible with her children.
