EXPERIENCE

I worked in U.S. ICT multinational corporations for over 30 years and reinvented myself as an entrepreneur, bestselling author and motivational speaker since 2008. In 2020, I worked with the National University of Singapore Society (NUSS) to conduct Life Learning Courses/Workshops (including “Design Your Life or Business After 50”) in conjunction with the National Silver Academy’s Lifelong Learning Initiative. I help people who are above 50 re-discover their life purpose and to put real, useful meaning to their lives and to positively impact others.

As an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), I have coached clients from Asia, Europe, North America and South America to deliver 1:1 coaching and team coaching. To pay forward, I also provide probono career coaching to NUS undergraduates and graduates. Since 2013, I have been mentor to NUS business and engineering undergraduates under the NUSS-NUS Mentorship Programme. 

I also provide Business and Leadership Coaching by leveraging on my experience in sales, sales management, marketing, product development, product management and customer service. I spent many years driving business for U.S. Fortune 500 Companies in Asia and the Middle-East North Africa (MENA).

Using MIT’s Sloan School of Management’s Approach to Design Thinking and Singapore’s Ministry of Digital Development and Information’s Certification on Implementing Design Thinking and leveraging my business experience, I help small businesses leverage Design Thinking to drive innovation in product, service and experience design. I run sales immersion, customer engagement, business consulting and design thinking workshops for my customers to sharpen their competitive edge. I mentor business owners and professionals to succeed by accelerating their learning curve and avoiding common pitfalls.

I survived life-threatening kidney cancer and liver hepatitis and since 2018, I keep myself healthy through meditation and by practicing mindfulness. I help my clients to revitalize their body, reactivate their mind and rejuvenate their soul for peak performance. I champion healthy living in Singapore to encourage professionals to take care of health for peak performance.

I also published 4 books – “Understanding: The Doctor Saved My Life Twice”, “Pebbles in the Pond: Wave Four”, “Cancer: From Tears to Triumph” and “My Big Idea Book”.

How Do I Know if a Leadership and Career Coach is Right for Me?

Choosing the right leadership and career coach starts with how well they understand your goals as a leader, your values and the challenges you face in your leadership journey. A great coach creates a safe space for honest reflection, asks powerful questions, and helps you gain clarity and confidence as a leader. You should feel supported yet challenged to grow beyond your comfort zone. When their approach inspires trust, aligns with your leadership aspirations, and sparks new insights or actions, the coach is likely the right coach for you.

Success Stories

Eric W.

"At the lowest point in my career, overwhelmed by restructuring, self-doubt, and isolation, JK's coaching helped me break free from negative spirals and imposter syndrome. Over three months, I regained self-belief, clarity, and emotional resilience. Through powerful reflection and practical models, I’ve become more confident in handling challenges and tough conversations. JK created a safe, honest space that empowered me to prioritize myself and focus on what I can control. I’m grateful for this transformative journey and highly recommend JK to anyone seeking meaningful change."

Kamala R. 

“Working with JK as my coach has been a transformative experience. Through his insightful questioning and supportive presence, I was able to break through long-held self-limiting beliefs that were holding me back. JK created a safe space that encouraged me to challenge myself beyond my comfort zone and become more open to exploring new areas of technology — something I had once resisted. As a result, I’ve not only grown professionally, but also become more adaptable, resilient, and confident in navigating change. I’m truly grateful for this empowering journey and the lasting impact it has had on my mindset and career.”
