About me
but it’s not really
about me, is it?
IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU WITH
A LITTLE BIT OF ME
What would you really WANT to know about me? I’d guess you’d want to know the person you’re working with has credibility and knows what they’re doing.
OKAY, LET’S GET THIS BIT OUT OF THE WAY
- I’m a recovering introverted people pleaser of Chinese descent, born in the Netherlands, educated in Scotland, married to an Englishman and have 2 tweens – adaptability and resilience is a strength of mine
- I’ve moved, lived and worked in 3 countries with my family throughout my 20-year corporate career in 10 different roles – transitions are my thing
- I’m a Certified Professional Coach – with one of the world’s largest ICF accredited coach training programmes
- I’m certified in administering and debriefing assessments that measure your perceptions and attitudes – this means that there’s immense opportunity to grow and change
- I possess abundant energy and empathy, alongside a caring and engaging nature. However, I maintain enough detachment to objectively perceive people, allowing me to highlight their blind spots – my energy is my superpower
- I also love to cook, dance like no-one is watching, having fun and adventure with my family and a voracious inhaler of self-help books – personal development is my addiction
So now you know a bit about me with some external markers and validators of credibility, you’re either not convinced and want to get as far as possible from my website, or you might be a little curious to learn more. Either way – fabulous. I’ll challenge you to put that logical and critical mind on hold and listen to what your heart is telling you.
MY CREDS
TESTIMONIALS
I had the privilege to have Doris as my coach through which I managed to achieve transformation in my professional and personal life. Doris is a truly intuitive listener who asks critical questions at the right time that increase self-reflection and awareness. What I particularly enjoyed in the coaching sessions are her unique techniques, practices and exercises that made our time together effective but fun with always attainable outcome. She is fantastic at explaining and exploring how to tap into the different levels of energies and leverage their advantages; and when possible directed me towards higher levels of energies that eventually moved me out of my comfort zones. Her coaching style also includes forwarding the agreed actions and she is an enthusiastic cheerleader who always spreads her motivational mindset. Without a doubt, I would recommend Doris as a coach to anyone who wishes to make changes in their life but they just don’t know where to start.

Working with Doris has made me feel more positive. The methods she uses have created awareness within me that have helped me see things differently. This has provided a platform to help me shift my attitudes and be less reactionary in situations. I felt heard by her and each time we finished a coaching session, I felt a weight lifted off my mind. I have learned the ability to be more present and reduced my judgements of myself and others. This has resulted in me being calmer. My time management skills have also improved since working with Doris, which have helped reduce my stress levels. Doris is direct and approachable. She is able to get to the heart of the issues when I’m struggling to understand them myself. She has helped me see things in a different perspective. She is empathetic and creates an environment of trust. She is very supportive, patient and able to understand me even though English is not my mother tongue.

Working with Doris has had a material impact on the level of confidence I have in my delivery at work and how I am able to articulate that to key stakeholders. Discussing my ambition and performance with Doris ahead of my annual appraisal helped me to analytically review what it was that I wanted out of the conversation and ultimately come away feeling empowered, with clarity on the year ahead. Since working with Doris I have been elevated to the Executive Committee of a FTSE250 Investment Manager. Working with Doris has been insightful. It has enabled me to build a greater depth of understanding as to what I want to achieve in my current role and future career. I find my sessions with Doris engaging and I always come away with a tangible action that I can implement in my day to day work to improve my performance or achieve greater work/life balance. It has also been fun!

BUT THIS ISN’T REALLY ABOUT ME
IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!
WHAT I DO
I help you look at the things you think you are but aren’t. The rules you subconsciously live by. Rules defined by society, school, work and everywhere else except inside of you. The idea of what success is that you’ve copied from others; the family and career you dream of that was put into your head by your parents and the media.
Then after taking a good look at these, and realizing which of them aren’t you, you’ll be sick of carrying the excess baggage around…and then the magic happens.
You see, after you strip away the things you aren’t, all that’s left is who you ARE. You can then begin living your life the way you want, on your own terms. This is where your uniqueness shines and you get to live the life of your dreams.
HOW DO WE DO THIS
I didn’t do it all alone and neither do you need to do it on your own.
What you have: access to an infinite source of wisdom that shows you what works for you and which path to take, whether you know it or not right now.
What I bring: a helping hand – a partnership if you will, to help you tap into the answers to your questions. This will then help you live a more balanced life, where you can pursue your career dreams AND raise your family in the way that you want – guilt free.
If all this resonates with you, and you’d like to take the next step – here’s how it works: Hop on a Bunny Huddle call with me so we can have an informal chat – no strings attached.
