BONNIE CHAN
Executive Coach & Consultant
ASIA PACIFIC | HONG KONG
Bonnie is a seasoned executive coach based in Hong Kong and China. She coaches senior executives and leaders often undergoing role transition i.e. from Regional to Global, promotion to CEO Role, Succession Planning. Clients are mainly Chinese executives in China and Hong Kong working within international organisations (Banks, Finance, Auctions, FMCG, Cosmetics, Food, Electronics, Consulting, Mining, Manufacturing, Car Industry), helping them develop their leadership and working closely with stakeholders to facilitate a more interactive environment for the individual.
This enables them to be better able to sustain change and any adjusted outlooks and behaviours, supported by their stakeholders, thereby enabling positive and effective momentum. She does this in both Mandarin and Cantonese and has also coached using fluent Japanese. She supports leaders to expand capacities from self to Self, to influence others to perform the best in their corporations and communities. Her approach to coaching is listening to the unspoken, raising one’s greatest self-awareness by inspiring their self-exposure on the blind spots and challenging one’s limiting belief, providing safe space for defining clarity on the intention, maximizing one’s vision and action in complexity and uncertainty situations.
Bonnie’s work experience spans over twenty years of diverse corporate services experience having worked in major multi-national organisations in the areas of manufacturing, trading, and in government commercial sector. She has had the opportunity of extending and combining her corporate experiences with her coaching practice where she adds greater value to her clients.
