As an ICF-trained coach, Siew Yen will take you on a journey to discover your true potential to achieve your goals in life. Very often, most people will have enthusiasm when they first embark on a goal. However, the enthusiasm eventually tapers off because they face roadblocks, distractions and they do not believe that they can overcome them. As your Life Coach, she will motivate you to stay on course to live your best life.

Her focus is to also help others have a happier mindset in order to achieve success. A happier mindset provides you with a competitive advantage and edge for getting ahead.

As a result of her passion, she has written a book entitled “Be Happy Now” to help others understand that they do not need to live in the past or wait for tomorrow to be happy, they can be happy now.

Based in Malaysia, she also has more than a decade of working experience in strategic branding, public relations and corporate communications. Her interests are in reading, writing and speaking on topics that are close to her heart.
