Leadership Coach

If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.

There is no safe way to leadership, especially in our complicated and ever-changing world these days. Leaders are challenged by new technologies, organizational changes, balancing team development and delivering results, and constantly shifting priorities. It is overwhelming to manage it all while making decisions aligned with our values and honoring our humanity. As a fellow traveler, supporter, and coach, I partner with courageous leaders across industries to navigate various situations and forge their paths to maximize their leadership potential. We not only co-create plans to achieve their goals but also build new awareness and enable growth beyond their current capacity.

As an ICF certified professional coach, Hang partners with senior leaders and high-performance emerging leaders to develop their leadership skills, navigate challenges with resilience, and live a holistic life. With a decade-long experience in Accounting and Consulting in North America, Hang advised and collaborated with top-tier companies on governance, risk management, and internal controls. Her tenure in leadership roles within start-ups and international corporations has equipped her with a deep understanding of the nuanced challenges leaders face today. During coaching conversations, she delves deeply into root causes for clients to gain valuable insights into their beliefs and assumptions. At the same time, she builds plans with clients turning the "aha" moments into tangible next steps. Her clients often find enhanced clarity in their professional development, heightened confidence in decision-making abilities, improved communication proficiency, and the cultivation of a more collaborative team environment.

Hang’s own personal development journey, heart to serve others, and belief in humanity led her to become a coach. She firmly believes that leaders can elevate their influence and make a lasting impact by fostering greater self-awareness and taking intentional steps aligned with their aspirations. As a coach, Hang embraces the role of challenging her clients to reach their highest potential while providing unwavering support, love, and compassion.

Born and raised in China, Hang has spent the majority of her adult life living and working in North America. Working with clients worldwide from diverse cultural backgrounds, her personal and professional experiences contribute to a deep understanding of cultural sensitivity, diversity, and inclusion. Her coaching approach is rooted in ontology, incorporating corporate and entrepreneurial experiences, international perspectives, and somatic practice. Hang holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a Masters in Accounting.
