“I was looking for a coach who would help me through a much desired career transition after feeling stuck for years. Ming was just the inspiration I needed. She was so insightful as she helped me see that my old mindsets and perceptions were holding me back. I would highly recommend her as a coach, I was impressed by Ming’s expertise and her understanding of what really mattered to me.”

Throughout our sessions, she was always patient and never hesitated to ask questions that helped me reflect more deeply on the steps I needed to take.”
