Is coaching something for you?
Why work with Shine
A professional coach
I am an ACC (Associate Certified Coach) by ICF (the International Coaching Federation) and have hundres of hours of coaching experience.
I’ve been trained by Dr. Chérie Carter-Scott, “the Mother of Coaching” and obtained the Transformational Executive Coach Certification after 125+ hours of training.
Amazing life and career experience
I have built a stunning career in consulting and tech industry after top universities and MBA programs.
I have lived on 3 different continents and worked with 30+ nationalities, having the track record of building a diversifired high performing team.
I understand you as a client
Life is not always rosy. I’ve been puzzled, stressed, or lost. Coaching helped me to be resilient, kind, and believing in myself in the past 10 years. I leverage my diverse experience to understand and empathize with you.
I always put YOU in the center
You can open up and feel safe with me.
I listen to you with curiosity instead of judgment; I ask you profound questions instead of telling you what to do; I encourage you to stay true to yourself instead becoming what others want you to be.
Shine has a gift for coaching.
She is one of the most observant and curious students that I’ve ever trained.

What my clients say
Specifically:
+ she listens well, hearing not only what you're saying but also understanding the deeper issues
+ she asks excellent questions to not only further explore the conversation topic - but also to help you connect the dots and find your solution
+ she is patient, allowing me the space to find my way
+ she is results oriented, helping to close the loop from thoughts > to specific actions > to lifelong habits
At the end I felt re-energised and equipped with the right tools to ensure I drive efficiency at work. Shine helped me see that I have all the answers to my problems within myself - and it was a completely liberating experience!
She is a great listener: she devotes all her attention to you during the session which makes you feel heard and appreciated, even though our sessions were via Zoom.
She is very empathetic and doesn't come across judgmental at all. I would recommend Shine to anyone who is looking for coaching session!
Shine guided me to find that "real me" through active listening and a series of enlightening questions and made me realize that, in fact, I knew the answer already. She helped me with the decision-making process and guided me to value each option from a structured way.
Now I am much more confident on what to look for the next chapter of my life. It's a bless to be coached by Shine and I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to see a better version of themselves to have a conversation with Shine.
FAQs
Coaching and therapy are two different approaches to helping individuals achieve their personal or professional goals. While both focus on improving one’s well-being, a significant difference is that Coaching is typically focused on the present and future, while therapy often deals with the past that may be affecting a person’s present life. Coaching is goal-oriented, and the coach helps the client identify and achieve their goals. Therapy, on the other hand, is focused on resolving emotional or psychological issues. Read more here.
