About Me

I’m dedicated to guiding first and second-generation immigrants towards lasting and genuine success in their professional and personal lives. I provide a culturally sensitive approach, holistic perspective, personalized support, and an industry-certified methodology.

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. 

Coaching

My coaching methodology is simple, yet transformational:

Provide culturally intelligent coaching utilizing ICF-accredited and research-backed methodologies. I help my clients navigate their way through the maze of different cultures and societal expectations to cultivate fulfilling personal and professional lives that are authentic to who they truly are.

This empowers my clients to discover their passions, cultivate meaningful careers, and live more purposefully.

Common Coaching Areas (but not limited to):

  • Life can be full of unexpected twists and turns. Are you feeling lost, unfulfilled, or unsure of what steps to take next? Perhaps you're facing a major life change, struggling to achieve personal goals, or simply yearning for a more balanced and meaningful life.

    We'll embark on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering your core values, passions, and what truly brings you joy. With this newfound clarity, you can begin to move towards a more fulfilling life.

What my clients say

  • “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.”

  • "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."

  • "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."
