They came from different backgrounds and different stages of the journey.
What they shared was one thing: the quiet, persistent longing for work that felt like home.
They didn’t wait until they felt ready.
They just took one honest step—found the right guidance—and finally had someone to show them the way.
“I’ve been working with Kim for a year now and the effects of our coaching sessions have been life-changing.
The approach that Kim chose to help me make a career transition was unconventional (to me) at first, but it turned out to be more powerful than I could ever imagine.
She helped me reconnect with my younger self and worked through the emotional hurts and traumas that I went through. These things were hard to talk about, but the healing that came afterward propelled me to build a better connection with myself than ever before and from there gained a high level of self-respect, understanding, and love.
All of a sudden, all the self-help books that I’ve read over the years start to make sense because through working with Kim, I’ve gotten to relate these principles to all the things that I experienced in my earlier life.
I’ve also come to realize that there’s an artistic side to me that I’ve neglected due to what I’ve been told and what I’ve told myself – an artistic side that is worth embracing as I’d love to build a career, or a business, from it. The journey to reach that goal can be intimidating, but I’m glad to have Kim as my wise and compassionate companion whose resourcefulness leaves me in awe every time.
If you’ve been considering making a career transition, or in another word, if you know deep within your heart that there is a better fit for you professionally which would allow you to live with a stronger sense of purpose and passion, Kim is your best bet (no cap!).”
“I think from my 2022 self-perspective, today would still be a dream. Even though my vision has not happened yet, I’m still so grateful for myself now.
Coming home to myself and becoming my biggest protector are insane journeys. They are painful at first, but all worth it. Thank you for your wonderful companionship.
You are the first person to see the potential that I couldn’t see in myself. Thank you for believing in me even before I can do that. Your great care, patience, dedication, empathy have planted seeds in me.
Even in my night dream, I don’t dare to become a coach. Your support has helped me a lot in 2023. Thank you for choosing to be a coach.”
“It is one of the most transformative experiences I have ever had.
Before the coaching program, I was having a career misalignment, which heavily affected my mental health and physical health. I was having anxiety and difficulty sleeping and overthinking. My relationship with my family also got some problems.
After the coaching program, I gained so much more clarity about myself and the career I want to take. I am guided to I look for elements of my purpose and I gain more awareness about what my passions are, what my natural talents are, what missions I carry. All of these things meant a lot for me and my life because now I believe that I’m operating from a position of higher self awareness, peace, and fulfillment.
My mental health has improved a lot. I work with my emotions, my anxiety, my overthinking . And I’m better at working with my family relationship.
As a coach, Kim is super empathetic, encouraging and warm. She always listens to me very wholeheartedly. She encourages and guides me a lot. She is very good at knowing what coaching methodology is suitable for me at the given time. She provides very customized experience for me, and that makes me feel so comfortable. She also knows that my ways work for me, so I always feel like it is very transformative because I’m given the opportunity to come up with my answers.“
“From the day I quit my job, not knowing what I will do next, and sometimes doubting my decision, to set up a Virtual Assistant service (now I’m thinking about a niche client, which is a serving coach). I really like the idea and have started the 1st step towards it !!! and I’m starting to make happy money, as I thought I could never make it happen before.
Transitioning to a freedom career from scratch is no easy feat. There are so many new things you have never known before, so having a coach to be with you is essential and makes you feel secure about yourself. And I’m glad I did that, with chi Kim support! Working with her through my career transition was one of the best decisions (and investment) I’ve made in myself.
Chi Kim helped me see my purpose compass, while I went from doubts, limiting beliefs about myself, not knowing what I can do best, to clearer about my values and purpose, which added a lot more meaning to my career transition journey.
Her coaching approach, empathy, and strategic guidance on the coaching program have helped me reconnect with my confidence and take bold steps towards my dream career, which is to work remotely and earn happy money! And guess what? I did it!
Thank you so much for accompanying me through a very memorable journey, and I really treasure the time and effort you support, as always!”
How did you see yourself and your challenge(s) before the program?
Before the program, I felt stressed about my current position where I was stuck with so many questions but no single answers. My current career was burning me out every single day. I realized that I had to find a new path for my future career, I tried at least two times but failed. Therefore, I started losing faith in my ability. I thought that I was poor, limited and not smart enough to change into any other career. I feel trapped by the reality that I have to spend my whole life doing a job I don’t love, just because I’m not good enough.
At the age of 30, I have a small family to care for and worry about. I can’t just quit my current job and pour all my savings into chasing a dream that feels uncertain and undefined.
More than anything, I don’t even know what I’m truly passionate about. I like many things, but I’ve never felt a burning passion strong enough to devote my time, energy, and money to turn it into a career. I’ve been feeling lost and panicked.
How do you see yourself and your challenge(s) now after the program?
After the program, I felt more confident and free within myself. I no longer felt trapped by negative thoughts about my own abilities.
I’ve gained a clearer understanding of my purpose compass. I know there are still many challenges ahead before I can truly discover the specific work that’s meant for me in the future, but these challenges no longer feel heavy or stressful.
Now, these challenges feel like milestones which I’m capable of overcoming. I feel like I’m walking on a clearer path — the destination may still be far away, but I genuinely enjoy the journey.
I’ve become more open to myself and to everything around me, because now I understand my true self deeply and I strengthen my inner core with my purpose compass.
What has shifted and what does that mean for you, your career and your life?
For me, the greatest change after this program is that I’ve come to understand my hidden abilities and passions — things I never realized before. With a clearer awareness of myself, I feel that I’ve regained ownership of my body and my life.
In life, I’ve learned to welcome everything with a more positive mindset. Even when things don’t go as planned, I now take them as opportunities to reflect on my actions in those situations, and to reconnect them with my core values — to understand why I reacted the way I did.
I’ve also become more honest with myself and with the people around me. Once I realized how much I value connection, I first reconnected with myself, and from there, I’ve been able to connect with others more genuinely and openly.
Finally, when it comes to my career, even though I haven’t fully reached my dream career yet, I’m walking step by step toward it. I’ve learned that to find my true career, the most important thing is to first understand my true self.
How was I as a coach in this program?
As a coach, Ms. Kim has been truly genuine. She made me feel that she was carefully listening to my thoughts.
To be honest, at the beginning of the program, during the first few coaching sessions, I didn’t really understand why Ms. Kim guided me to look back at my childhood stories. But in the end, everything made sense — it was part of the journey that helped me uncover my core values. From there, Ms. Kim helped me discover my own purpose compass, which now serves as a guide for me in finding the career that truly belongs to me in the future.
While working with Ms. Kim, I always felt heard and understood. Even when I felt sad or lost motivation, she always found a way to help me regain my will and start again.
The coaching journey with Ms. Kim has been such a new and fascinating experience for me. I never imagined that the process of finding a career could be so interesting and full of surprises.
Before the coaching program, I get my life mission wrong. I believed that my life existed for others—that my value depended on making other people happy. This belief put a lot of pressure on me and made life feel heavy and exhausting. I went through a long period of feeling bad about myself and constantly struggling internally.
I have changed a lot. I now have much more clarity about my Genius, Values, Passion, and Mission. I gained a great deal of awareness and thoughtful insights from Kim. I no longer dwell in negative self-talk or blame myself. Instead, I understand what works best for me, which has led to better work performance and a much higher quality of life.
These changes mean a lot—truly. I wish I had met Kim earlier. When you clearly understand yourself and have a meaningful purpose to move toward, life becomes so much more purposeful and fulfilling.
The most wonderful thing about coaching with Kim is how deeply she listens and truly understands. She asks thoughtful questions that help uncover the root of the issues, guiding you step by step toward solutions that come from within yourself, not from anyone else’s opinions or perspectives.She is open, respectful, and deeply attuned to your emotions and personal rhythm. There was a session when we had to change the planned topic because she guided me into a meditation—and I couldn’t stop crying. It was incredibly gentle and caring. Very lovely. 🙂
I truly appreciate being your coachee in such a transitioning and important phase.
I have received so much self-awareness. Prior to the coaching program, I was familiar with the famous advice, “you just have to know who you are, what you want, and the way from here to there.” But it’s never been that easy. Our sessions clarified the how-to in each step, and I started to make sense of many life events, my biggest problem, and my purpose.
I remember how those realizations surprised me: that I was not as mindful about the way I love myself as I expected, that I had been avoiding so much fear and frustration, that I knew what I wanted but I chose to ignore.
Back when I was in AIESEC, I already knew about reflection by questions, but working with you helped me see deeper into my emotion and body signals. As my perspectives were unlocked, my actions were inspired.
You always made sure I came home with clear actions or homework. Just after our first meeting, I took my first action. And the more I practice your exercise, the more I can feel my inner shift. My mental health has been better. I enjoy my life more as I start to do what makes my heart sing. I am more confident and motivated to get ready (instead of hesitant and fearful) for what I want to do with my time.
The above can’t be realized without your support. Your communication and your vibe make me feel comfortable when sharing my stories. You make me feel heard and seen for who I am as a person, especially through your talent in simplifying and condensing my thoughts. You listen thoroughly and spot the truths I don’t have the courage to admit. And most importantly, you make sure I have the necessary toolkits to keep going after our program ends. I had a beautiful coaching journey and am thankful for your dedication to me and the coaching itself.
To those considering this opportunity,
If you are looking for a change, give yourself a chance to meet chi Kim. With the company of chi Kim, I had a great journey of exploring myself and my life purpose. It’s your time now to have an open and honest conversation with yourself!
I started the coaching program with Kim being insecure about myself, my capabilities, and denying my self-worth. Within the short program, Kim was able to help me look deep into myself, unhook my limiting beliefs, and provide me with very powerful thinking tools and self-development knowledge.
I can see myself transforming into a person who treasures both her weaknesses and strengths, who believe that she can achieve anything she wants, a confident girl that can take action regardless of fear.
Kim is such a good listener. She makes me feel comfortable sharing my ugliest thoughts without being afraid of judgment. She can distill the key insights from my messy thoughts and emotions, and guide me to focus on the core issues. It has been a blessing to be coached by Kim.
I had a chance to work (yes work literally) under Kim’s supervision in a project from early last year. I knew right after our first talk that she would be the best “teacher” to me. Not only being my supervisor, she already acted as a career coach at that time, with timely & precise advice for me to get things done in a more efficient & proper way.
Now seeing her in somehow similar but brand new role, I can believe that it’s what she enjoys the most, and it’s what essential for those like me to have a listener & instructor like Kim is.
Before the mini coaching program, I haven’t known that I could dig that deep into my mind. Kim knows the best how to get to the point, and how to encourage me to open even what’s in my subconsciousness. I’m not the type who feel comfortable to express myself, and can’t verbalize what I think in a well-organized way. I’m always doubt myself, and that I can’t do a single thing right. But Kim enlightened me that there is a “possible” me hiding inside; she needs nurturing, needs strengthening up to shine brightly and to fulfill what an “impossible” me can’t do. Kim did empower me with confidence to bet on and with tactics to realize step by step.
I can’t guarantee Kim will make you succeed, no one can. But I’m sure that Kim would be one of the best companion to accompany you on your purposeful path finding
If something in these stories moved you—that’s your invitation.
