About Coach Theresa

I am an Asian American professional and Life Coach with diverse trainings, skill sets and multicultural backgrounds. Having grown up in Hong Kong and spent most of my adult years in the United States and Canada, I am proficient in both English and Chinese. As an adult, I have also studied several other languages.

When I walk into a room, my background and my competencies represent diversity.

• I served as the Executive Director of a British nonprofit, an accountant for an American insurance company, and a financial analyst for a Canadian company which was one of the world’s largest corporations in the industry.
• I have served as an ordained minister in both the Presbyterian and the Pentecostal churches and as a conference speaker at numerous retreats and conferences.
• I have also developed great cross-cultural skills and sensitivity because of my role as a Rotary Foundation scholarship recipient and my involvement with internationals throughout the years. All these experiences point to my ability to relate to and understand a wide variety of people.

As a result of these experiences, I understand the dynamics of personal and spiritual growth, leadership development, diversity challenges in the workplace, and cross-cultural issues in marriage and parenting. These experiences have equipped me to understand people from a wide variety of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. The skill sets I have developed effectively prepared me to coach individuals desiring to develop personally and spiritually, seeking new direction in life, dealing with career and other life transitions, attempting to enhance the quality of their relationships, and aiming to become more effective parents for their emerging adults.

I am a Certified Professional Coach (certification from Erickson College, Vancouver BC), a Certified Trainer of Leading From Your Strength Profile(certification from Ministry Insights Inc.), and an ordained minister of the (Assemblies of God Church). I hold the Master’s of Business Administration (University of Washington), the Master’s of Divinity (Regent College, Vancouver B.C.), and the Bachelor’s of Social Sciences (University of Hong Kong). I have also been previously ordained in the (Presbyterian Church USA) and certified as an accountant in Canada.

Of all the information about me as a Life Coach, perhaps my Purpose Statement is the most important piece.

My Purpose Statement

To empower women and men to grow personally, spiritually, and intellectually.

You may have heard it said, “Everyone should have a life coach!” I wholeheartedly agree with this. Every time I begin to coach my clients, I find myself feeling envious because I have allowed so many years of my life pass by without a life coach. I hope you choose to walk a different path.
