      A Personal Word from Coach Mi

      Reflecting on my career climbing the corporate ladder and that of my female peers, I realised how lonely it could be for a woman in business whether in the corporate world or in running your own business. As a woman, admitting uncertainty in a competitive environment often means opening yourself to judgement about your competence.

      You were fortunate if you went home to a supportive spouse but a spouse in a different industry could at most, offer moral support and understanding. If your spouse was in the same industry, you could perhaps bounce ideas and get practical advice but sometimes, even in supportive relationships, an element of competitiveness still exists.

      We “superwomen” put ourselves under immense pressure to perform, to achieve, to balance work and the home, and hesitate to seek help. I was certainly guilty of this. My greatest challenge has been balancing my job as CEO of a super fund, my “other job” as mum to a toddler and baby, and not to mention as a wife. You hope for a win-win situation but end up juggling so many balls, you lose sight of what’s important.

      These conditions are unsustainable with real fulfilment much harder to achieve. This is where I draw my inspiration.

      My vision is to provide a supportive environment where I would be your advocate, to support and empower you through your challenges, to share my business skills and knowledge with you so that you would have an easier and more rewarding path to achieving your goals.
