Executive coach
Michelle Yeo
Michelle is passionate about helping leaders to discover their strengths and talents so that they can achieve their individual, team and organizational goals. Her current role means she can fulfill this passion both as a facilitator when she works with groups, and one-to-one when she coaches individuals.
Her experience in both the financial and hospitality industries, coupled with her multi-cultural background and broad understanding of the European and Asian cultures, give her unique insight and understanding and means she really grasps the issues and capabilities needed to be an international leader working on a global stage.
Previously responsible for Leadership Skills Development and top talent at an international financial institution, she knows about the importance of connecting results with return on investment, so she is goal-focused and outcomes oriented in her approach.
Born and raised in Singapore, Michelle moved to the Netherlands in the 90s where she lived for 16 years. She now lives in Hong Kong with her husband and two children.

What clients say about Michelle

She's a model of executive presence; I tried to observe and learn as much as I can.”
Executive MBA student
International US-based business school
"
The theory behind how you influence, and breaking this down for clarity was what I learnt the most from. It is not something I have spent any time considering so I found this opportunity invaluable. It has enabled me to be more thoughtful in my approach, and highlighted the importance of preparation and planning.”
