Coaching and mentorship

Leadership coaching and security mentorship.

I provide leadership coaching, career mentorship for security professionals and workshops for students. Sessions are arranged around the goals of the individual or group.

What this looks like

01
Executive coachingOne to one work with managers and senior leaders: the move from doing the work to leading the people who do it, decision‑making with incomplete information, difficult conversations and psychological safety. I trained as a coach and as a psychological safety practitioner, and spent a decade running teams across Asia.
02
Mentorship in securityStanding sessions for people already in the field and for people trying to get into it. Skills to develop next, interview preparation including the live technical rounds, CV and portfolio review, and a career plan with review dates.
03
Schools and NGOsWorkshops for classrooms and community groups. Sessions cover access to technical careers, how AI affects work and the skills students can develop. In person in Hong Kong or online, sized to the room.
04
How it runsCoaching in agreed blocks, with a goal you set at the start and review at the end. Mentorship as a standing slot you can rely on. Workshops as a single session, with the materials left behind so a teacher can run them again.

Who it’s for

Managers stepping into leadership, security professionals planning the next move, graduates and students trying to get in, and schools and non‑profits who want someone from the field in the room.
