Swee Heng's approach
Swee Heng’s approach to coaching is simply be there for the clients. In his sessions, he engages, creates safety and enables his clients to take the lead in the coaching agenda. He collaborates and at the same time, readily challenges his clients to push the boundary, to be more than what they can be or do. In the words of a director of an international telco company: “My appreciation to you as a quintessential coach with astute observation and listening capabilities, and importantly to motivate any individuals to perform to their very best abilities”.
