What is Life Coaching?

Life as a human being is complex. Under the pressures of complexity and uncertainty we faced, we tend to go back to our usual habits and comfort zone that define your current YOU. It is where we remain stuck at our limitations and live like what everyone else is living. This gives rise to many issues at home, work, relationships and health such as internal & external conflicts, doubts and unhappiness as we try to control our external reality, aka the outer game. As a result, it affects our mental and emotional health, marriage, parenting, career advancement, self-esteem and many more.

Life coaching is a process of redesigning and taking charge of your inner development, aka your inner game so that you can have better outer results. It starts by having clarity with the issues and goals. With the support of qualified life coaches, you can recognise your individual unique personality, strengths & weaknesses in relation to the issues and goals and navigate through the challenges and obstacles that prevent progress.

Finally, when we explore strategies to overcome the challenges and obstacles so that goals, happiness and fulfilment in life can be attained, sustained and continue to be energised.

Why work with Edwin?

At a young age, Edwin has experienced failures in school that brought about emotional challenges in his growing up years such as shame, humiliation and guilt. Despite his emotional struggles, he managed to complete his MBA at a higher education level later on in his life.

Not only that, being an introvert by nature, he felt limited by his personality and fears of expressing himself in public. Today, he is able to confidently present himself in front of an audience and lead sessions such as seminars, lectures, workshops, sales with clients and boardroom meetings.

With his life experiences, he has the capacity to relate with his clients, to hold a safe space for them to explore and define their path. He also has the capability to guide his clients to navigate challenges, tap their higher potential and turn them into practical strategies to move forward.

He does these through enabling clients to nurture healthy ways of communication and relationship building with the key people in their lives. He empowers his clients to create a balanced and versatile approach to managing the demands and expectations at work and at home.

How will the coaching session be conducted?

As a NLP & Enneagram Coach, Edwin will be applying NLP Techniques to address the issues and the desired outcomes. Enneagram profiling tests may be used, if there is a need to understand personalities, belief systems and behaviour in the coaching process. The purpose is to gain clarity with people’s issues.

All of us do have the nine types in us, but only one of them can be our core type. By understanding our and others’ personalities, we may gain clarity in the root causes of the people’s relationship issues. When we have clarity and understanding, these problems in life can be improved and overcome.
