President’s Message

Welcome to Asia Pacific Alliance of Coaches (APAC)

What an incredible two years it was for me, weaving this beautiful tapestry of growth, service, and shared experiences in APAC coaching community with you.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to the EXCO team, ambassadors, and committee members. Some have institutional knowledge of APAC I truly respected, and some whom I personally recruited on this adventure, thanks for stepping forward courageously.

For the many generous senior coaches who walked alongside and contributed so wholeheartedly with your knowledge, war-stories, and your Being, you have inspired and enriched us.

To both our new and long-time members, your presence and support have uplifted us during trying times of juggling personal and work priorities, while volunteering here. This is the power of community.

The eco-system is not complete without the industry partners, thanks for jointly organising events, taking up pro bono coaching and experimenting team coaching with us. You made the impossible possible.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for co-creating this space that I hold dearly. As I pass the baton to the new APAC President, Suyin, and the incoming EXCO team, I have every confidence that their passion and dedication will guide them to new heights, to create a journey they too will one day look back on with full and grateful hearts, as I do now. Be blessed!
