Kai Foong Tan

Kai Foong’s coaching approach is based on fostering insight and putting a clear action oriented plan to foster behavior change. She works with the challenges and aspirations of her clients and brings a non-judgmental presence. At the same time, she works to challenge the comfort zones of her clients, and to empower them to deal with the needed change in a supportive and pragmatic manner. A typical coaching session includes working on real business issues, and diagnosing the key barriers; after that she empowers her clients with skills and actual practice and plans to work out the issues in a focused and direct manner.

Most of her coaching clients are high potentials and senior level leaders (Functional Managers and General Managers) of multinational organizations across Asia Pacific who desire to take their game up to the next level. She also has a particular passion for the typical challenges faced by Asian managers needing to operate in a global organization.
