About Hyeon-Ju’s Coaching Approach:
I believe that leadership, with all its outward-facing responsibilities, ultimately leads us inward. It is our understanding of who we are that enables us to contribute our full gifts. It is our capacity to be with all we are — our light and our shadow — that enables us to grow into our own wholeness through leadership’s pressures.
In our coaching sessions, you have space to be honest and unedited, change your mind, think and imagine freely, and be completely yourself — all necessary conditions for learning, growing, and finding your way to your best work. We will start with where you are and tailor our sessions to your internal and external landscape.
My role as a coach is to be your thought partner and honest mirror. You will be honored and accepted for being exactly who you are right now, and at the same time held to your highest vision for your growth.
