Sometimes we need more than love, comfort and nudging from friends and family. If you are seeking some professional support to reach certain goals, look at these well-qualified coaches in Hong Kong who are trained to offer the guidance you need.

We’ve all had that moment where we question the path we’re on. Not literally (although as a hiker with a terrible sense of direction, I may have done this more than once!) – I’m talking more about our life path, or our career, or our health.

The pandemic has caused many of us to take stock. We may have faced the terrible reality of being furloughed or made redundant, the challenge of being far away from family, homeschooling kids, and living through some of the most uncertain times in recent memory. Our ability to rebound has taken a battering and we need support to get us back in the game. For others, this may have given them an opportunity to think more deeply about what they truly want for themselves. There may be ideas about retraining, upskilling, or starting something new. It could simply be that there’s a sense that life, whilst not entirely bad, could also be so much better.

Change can be a messy process, and we often need support to explore our choices, ensure they make sense, and provide meaning to our lives. Many people hire a coach to help them achieve their goals faster or to help them find clarity in the many choices or challenges in front of them. There’s no surprise that the recent growth in demand for coaching services has led to an increase in qualified coaches across Hong Kong, covering many areas of expertise.

What Is Coaching?

Before we begin, it’s important to understand what coaching is and how can it help us achieve our goals.

The International Coaching Federation, one of the leading coaching and accreditation organisations, defines coaching as:

“Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.”

Coaching is sometimes confused with counselling, as both are focused on helping the individual move forward. Counselling can work with past pain and trauma, helping an individual to recover or heal and move ahead. It is a highly regulated industry and there are some excellent counsellors in Hong Kong.

Coaching, on the other hand, is future-focused. It uses frameworks, questioning and techniques to help individuals find clarity and awareness and move towards their desired outcome. Another difference is that currently, anyone can set up as a coach with minimum training.

How To Find A Coach In Hong Kong

Since it’s (relatively) easier to become a coach, you have to be careful about finding the right fit. It’s always best to check these two items before working with a coach:

Sassy Mama number peach 2Ask for a “chemistry” meeting. This should be free of charge, to ensure you’re comfortable working together.

Our goals vary as we progress through life. Parents and expats in a new city know this more than others! Coaching is often focused on some key areas where we need support, or want to make improvements at the moment or with an eye to the future. With that in mind, here are some of the leading coaches in Hong Kong across various fields.
