Unlock
your potential

Empower your journey towards self discovery with personalized coaching services tailored to your needs.

About Me

I’m your guide, here to help you unlock your purpose and potential. My journey began with my parents, who immigrated to the United States from China. As a first-generation Asian American, I understand the unique experiences and complexities that come with straddling cultures. This fuels my passion for helping others bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. 

Professionally, I have extensive experience in the ever-evolving world of technology. My current role is in Strategy and Operations at Google, where I’ve learned how to work with and build high-performing teams.

As a certified professional coach, I aim to bridge my personal background and professional experience to empower you to achieve your goals, whatever they might be.

What my clients say

  • "My role offers high visibility and impact, but I felt stuck due to challenging team dynamics, mismatched working styles, and being the only minority. I needed guidance to navigate career conversations with my manager and chart my future path. Kent created a safe space for me to be vulnerable, reframed my mindset, and equipped me with practical strategies to approach my manager. He helped me understand my manager's perspective, advocate for myself effectively, and explore new opportunities. Through our sessions, I gained the confidence to prioritize my career goals and felt empowered to stay true to what mattered to me most. Kent is an experienced career coach who brings an abundance of compassion to the sessions, making me feel heard and seen. His compassion and empathy made the coaching experience truly impactful."

  • “When I embarked on my new role, I was eager to make a significant impact and accelerate my career. However, I lacked clarity on how to navigate the company culture and expectations effectively. I was inspired by the rapid promotions of my colleagues and yearned to unlock the secrets of their success. Kent helped me gain a deeper understanding of my unique cultural identity, which has given me a powerful advantage in navigating both cultures. This newfound self-awareness has boosted my confidence and enabled me to approach my career with renewed vigor. Beyond professional growth, this coaching experience has positively impacted my overall well-being. I feel more fulfilled and confident in my abilities. Kent’s ability to empathize with my experiences and provide practical advice has been invaluable. Their guidance on handling difficult conversations with my manager has been particularly helpful, and I continue to apply their insights in my daily interactions. I am incredibly grateful for this transformative coaching experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Kent to anyone seeking guidance and support in their professional journey.”

  • "Before I started working with Kent, I was filled with doubt / fear about coaching. I worried that a coach wouldn’t truly understand my unique needs or would offer theoretical solutions instead of practical (applicable) solutions. Kent helped me overcome these fears by creating a space that encouraged me and made me feel comfortable to open up while speaking with him. His approach helped me shift my mindset from worrying to facing my challenges head on. As a result of our work together, I’ve experienced a renewed sense of happiness and success. I find joy in completing tasks (both professionally and personally), especially when I approach them in new ways. Helping others in any way and spending time with my family also brings me immense satisfaction and pace. What I value most about Kent is his ability to truly understand my challenges and then helping me solve them."
