MY STORY

From the Hamster Wheel to the Playground

A real story of transformation

01

Racing on a track I never chose

Tsinghua, Penn, strategy consulting — racing on a track others had laid out for me. I never stopped to ask: did I actually choose this cage?

02

A setback that forced me to pause

A career setback in 2019 made me press pause. A coaching conversation showed me for the first time: I had been climbing someone else's ladder all along.

03

Climbing out, step by step

Since then, I kept being coached and training to coach others. Little by little, I found my way out — no longer driven by fear, but pulled forward by what I genuinely wanted.

Now

From coachee to coach

I became a coach not because I have answers, but because I believe every person holds their own direction inside — it's just covered up by 'shoulds' and fear.
