Who am I?
Hi. My name is Miss Yap. You may also call me by my Chinese name Siaw Fung or my English name Lauren.
Just like the different choices of my name, I’ve had the good fortune of experiencing different options and phases in my life. I started my career as a Technical Engineer in 2006. Through my years of working with professionals and individuals from different backgrounds, I have come to recognize my passion to help others excel, achieve their potential and reach their goals. Today, I offer professionals the choice to be coached in varying areas – all that lead to healthier and more sustainable lives.
In my capacity as a manager, I began coaching my team to improve their performances in 2011, and I was officially recognized as an internal coach at my workplace in 2017. Today, I continue to support leaders in making positive transformations and shifting their mindsets as part of their career development. I enjoy having conversations with people from various backgrounds and helping them ignite their passion to achieve their full potential.
I have received training from The Coaches Training Institute®, a highly reputed and the pioneer coach training school. I am also a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and has received a formal accreditation as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) by the ICF in 2020.
I have also undertaken a course in Counselling and Psychotherapy with The School of Positive Psychology.
It’s easy to stay within my comfort zone but there is the danger of falling captive to the mundane and routine lifestyle. The key to fulfillment is to know what nourishes the soul and in making choices to live life with purpose. For me, it’s about continuing to learn and to grow.
The new knowledge I garner always lifts my spirits and makes me want to help people even more. The ongoing search for new information and meaning makes my life a meaningful journey that will serve me well in my pursuit of continuing to grow for myself and to help others in their journey to clarity as well.
Why Choose Me As Your Coach?
Coaching is one of the most powerful ways to help someone learn and grow. I’m often asked by my clients and colleagues how coaching has benefited me. With more than a decade of international experience in the corporate arena, I have learned that I thoroughly enjoy working with people with different strengths. Whilst career fulfillment is important, achieving balance with purpose is more fulfilling. I see myself as a catalyst to make a difference in the community – to inspire people to give their life some meaning.
As a coach, I am your thinking partner and serve as the mirror to allow you to see yourself through a different lens. Whether you just need a nudge in the right direction, or to find ways to stretch your capabilities, you can be sure to experience different perspectives through objective conversations with me. My coaching approach is to build a space with you to drive clarity and awareness. The goal is to unleash the hidden potential that you did not believe possible. Once you know it, you cannot undo that – and thus the beginning of your transformation.
My area of expertise revolves around ways that will help you improve your daily life. From mindful eating and sustainable living concepts in the era of climate change to career development, leadership enhancements, and achieving work-life balance, I will go through a holistic approach to close the gaps that have stopped you from unleashing your full potential.
