Experience and background

Swee Heng enables meaningful change and transformation in leaders, teams and organisations through shared leadership and solution-focused approaches. For more than 11 years, he has coached leaders to uncover their true potential and create value.

In his work, Swee Heng listens deeply, engages openly and co-creates practical insights with the leaders and organisations he supports. As a result, he draws on strong coaching capability and broad leadership experience to help leaders across Asia Pacific perform more effectively at personal, professional, team and organisational levels.

Before focusing on coaching, Swee Heng built more than 30 years of leadership and management experience across three large organisations. He worked across management, operations and human capital functions. From 2000 to 2010, he served as Asia Pacific Human Resources Director and a member of the Regional Management Board at Reed Business, a division of RELX plc. Earlier, he led Deloitte Singapore’s Human Resources function from 1997 to 2000. Prior to this, he held senior strategic and operational roles in the Singapore Armed Forces from 1979 to 1997.

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”.
