Testimonials

what my clients have to say

These sessions were one the most constructive and dynamic coaching sessions I’ve ever had. Evelyn navigated my questions through the lens of enabling me to finding the answer to them by myself and ensuring I learn the tools to analyse and find resolutions to future similar situations myself.Thank you, Evelyn for always challenging me to find the best answers and ensuring I leave every coaching session with positive note and open mind. I will take all those lessons with me as I move on in life and recalling how our discussions empowered me to become the best version of me.- ST, Compliance Manager, IMCOEvelyn has been a guiding force as I navigate this new step in my career. She has a remarkable ability for pinpointing the underlying challenges, even when they differ from the initial focus. When I wanted to enhance my impact in the workplace, she helped me realize it was really about shaping how I’m perceived by my peers and colleagues. This insight has been transformative for my professional growth. - JB, Assistant Manager, HR, UBC

What is Coaching

Coaching is a partnership between a coach and a coachee.As a coach, I act as a sounding board. I guide my clients through non-directive questions to develop their self-awareness and create forward momentum towards their goals.A coaching session is a conversation with a purpose, it's identifying what you want to achieve in each conversation, specifying the measures of success for the session, getting clarity on what's important to you about the topic, digging into your ideas/beliefs/roadblocks and finally, collaborating on next steps.

FAQs

  • Is Coaching therapy? Coaching is not meant to replace therapy, and is not mentoring or consulting. As a coach, I will not be selling information (consulting), showing you the answer (mentoring), or delving into trauma (counselling).

  • Are you going to share what we discuss? I abide by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) ethical standards of confidentiality. I will not disclose information pertaining to the coachee and sessions without consent.

  • Can I just do one session? This is most suitable for individuals who have completed either a 3 month or 6 month package and wish to discuss an ad hoc topic. If you have not received coaching in the past and you're looking to work on a new topic, one session is typically not enough to achieve impactful long lasting results.

  • How do I get the most out of coaching? Part of the coaching experience is reflecting on your current reality, what you've learned and the goal established as part of our partnership. I will ask you to reflect at the end of each session and overall engagement; however, the learning moments, inspiration, and "Aha!" often times come at a future date. They are small steps towards a larger journey and coming to each session with an open-mind is important.

  • Do you do in-person sessions? All sessions are virtual (Zoom).
