Executive Profile

For decades, Ivy has been coaching leaders and leadership teams across China, Hong Kong and Australia to design and facilitate change at individual, organisational and community levels. She established her consulting practice in 1998 with the purpose of transforming organisational culture, expanding leadership capability and coaching leaders to act on their visions and missions. She was also among the pioneering executive coaches in Hong Kong who introduced and actively promoted coaching within organisations.

Ivy’s purpose as a coach is to expand leaders’ capacity to live holistically well and balanced lives, to embody clear and conscious values, and to become positive, active agents of change in the world.

A holistic leadership development approach is a defining feature of Ivy’s work. She works primarily with executives who are already highly skilled, sophisticated and experienced. Her work goes beyond incremental improvement or achievement, focusing instead on enabling and empowering executives to reach a deeper level of actualised leadership, often accompanied by a renewed sense of purpose and energy.

This process does not focus solely on business outcomes; it takes a comprehensive view of executive wellbeing, encompassing personal balance, family life and the workplace. The results are profound, tangible and sustainable.

Ivy’s coaching addresses the core of leadership — identity, values, beliefs and unfulfilled aspirations — delivering high-impact outcomes that extend beyond the individual to the organisation and wider community.

As a keynote speaker, Ivy is known for a highly dynamic, engaging and thought-provoking style. Drawing on extensive experience in organisational consulting and work with senior executives across cultures, she brings a rich collection of stories and insights to inspire more effective ways of living and leading. Her work integrates Chinese and Western philosophies, offering fresh perspectives on how to elevate organisational performance and transform culture.
