I feel extremely grateful to be the product of great mentoring and coaching. Having been enormously influenced by great leaders and role models, I have tried to pass on these positive effects to others. Now I seek a larger platform from which to make a broader impact. I enjoy this adventure to contribute to the community. — Jiali

Vision

To empower the surpassing success at the turning point

Life is full of turning points. The best way to illustrate the turning point is to watch speed skating. It is not about starting first, it is about finishing first, and the best point to overtake is at the turning point. If you’d like to experience that, watch this below video at 1:10-1:25.

Another example, as Tom Brady said, “You can’t win if you are not behind.” Do you still remember 2017 Super Bowl, last quarter and overtime?

Mission

To inspire and nurture our clients’ spirit

Do not let your continuous excellence lead to mediocrity.

We believe that there are substantial gaps in people’s education, training and experience to building necessary elements in order to thrive in their careers and lives. The gaps exist in vision, mindset, and making choices. By filling these gaps, we are passionate to help our clients improve their performance in personal, professional and leadership development. Our focus is on students, fellows, faculty members and leaders in academic settings. It is also helpful to other career paths for early intervention, planning and brainstorming. 

Leverage your strength

Coaching is to increase our clients’ performance to reach their greater heights. We will help our clients by giving a boost for their strength and talents, discovering their blind-spots, and developing their complementary skills in other areas to achieve their higher goals. 

Shore up your weakness

Another element in coaching is to improve our clients’ performance to meet their expectations. It includes an identification of a problem with the clients’ current performance that, if uncorrected, may derail their ability to succeed.
