If this is you:

"I want to advance within my company or industry but I see many barriers."

here's how I could help you...


There comes a time for many people when they want to advance or be promoted and it just doesn't seem to be happening. You can just blame the company, your boss or the job market, but chances are good that some aspect of your lack of advancement is within your control. For example: 

  • You have not made your desire for advancement clear to the right people;
  • You have not been able to demonstrate certain management skills;
  • You are not selling yourself effectively within the company; 
  • You have an unacknowledged weakness or blind spot that stops others from seeing you as promotable; or
  • You are undermining your professional image through certain habits or styles. 

On the other hand, maybe it IS the company or your boss! For example:

  • You don't fit the company or industry management culture.
  • Your boss is selfishly keeping you down so that he or she can benefit from your skills and labour.
  • Your company sees you as you were when they first hired you, and yet you have grown and developed.

The good news is that because you are reading this now, I know you are willing to invest some time and energy into advancing in your career. No matter what your situation is, there is always a way forward. As your coach, I can help you move ahead much more quickly and effectively than if you simply work on your own. Here's how:

Step One:

Complete the Harrison Assessments Management Development Package. The assessment reports will give you a new perspective on how ready you are for promotion. You will get specific, neutral, valid feedback on over 100 different traits that are correlated to best performance in your chosen job function (e.g. senior management) so you can see exactly how you differ from the ideal and what might be holding you back.

You'll also see clearly what are your most valuable strengths to develop in your future career so you can make decisions that will lead you to excellence, rather than blindly following a standard career track that may not suit your personality.

If you've already done other assessments such as MBTI or DISC, you'll find this assessment adds much more detail and insight to your understanding of your personality in relationship to your career choices.

We'll review the assessment reports together so that you can understand what it means for you and begin to devise a strategy for moving forward based on this new information.

Step One can be completed for HK$4500 (US$580) which includes one 90-minute in-person coaching session (in Hong Kong) or three 45-minute telephone coaching sessions. to start the assessment process now. 

Step One alone will give you a big boost towards identifying and achieving your career goals. And you'll also experience what it's like to work with me. If you have ambitious goals, you'll probably want to continue with Step Two.

"I just wanted to let you know that our lunchtime discussion really helped to put things into focus for me. I'm now earning more than I did at my previous job, working fewer hours (or at least hours under my own control), and I'm happier than I've been in a very long time! ... Angela, I know we didn't spend that much time "working together", but I wanted to thank you for your kind words of encouragement and your useful assessment tools, which definitely helped to get the ball rolling." 

L. Yu, Director, The Wordsmith Company

Step Two:

Hire me as your coach for a period of 3 to 6 months and I will help you clarify your goals, develop a strategy and carry it out, even the parts that are personally challenging. Together we'll find the best way forward for you. 

Here's how it works:

  • I listen very very well so that YOU can more thoroughly understand the situation you are facing. You can talk openly to me about anything without fear that anyone else will find out, and knowing that I will always accept you and give my honest response. By listening very well, I will help you reflect more effectively and learn faster. 

  • I ask questions from a different perspective so that you can see the situation in ways you hadn't considered before. I support, endorse, encourage and challenge you in the way YOU choose that supports you best. 

  • I openly share my hunches, feedback and past experience that is relevant to you and I make positive suggestions based on my understanding of careers, management and human behaviour.  We'll discuss all the options in front of you and choose the steps that make most sense for you. 

  • I help you focus on taking actions that move you forward.  

I offer 3 different coaching packages which all include unlimited email support, unlimited brief phone calls between sessions, use of all Coach U programs and self-assessments plus other training materials as relevant. 

3-Month Coaching Package: 
Two 30-45 minute telephone sessions per month for HK$2800 per month (US$360)

Fast-Change Package or 6-Month Coaching Package: 
Twelve 30-45 minute telephone sessions (two to three per month) for HK$15,600 (US$2000)

Executive Package: Nine hours of in-person coaching in your office, my office or a selected quiet café (in Hong Kong). Flexibility in the duration and frequency of sessions over a 6-month period for HK$22,500

Or start with just one session:

Discovery session: One in-person coaching session in your office, my office or a selected quiet cafe (In Hong Kong)
One hour HK$2800,  90-minutes HK$3900

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not completely satisfied with your coaching session, I will gladly refund your fees for that session in full. 

Before we begin working together, I want to make sure I can relate well to you and your situation so that I'm sure I can really add value. Please to set up an initial phone call or call me on 852 8130-7326.

"Even though I was talking to Angela about my problems, all the solutions were coming out of my mouth. I found it very empowering. I might have overcome my problems without a coach, but not within months. It might have taken years to sort out the root of my problems" 

Godfrey Chu, Consultant

"I sometimes felt a little lonely when it came to my career. But now I feel I have a real partner, a real coach. That’s very important because I want to be successful – extremely successful....Angela is soft and tender, and always knows how to ask the right questions to put me back on track."  

Businesswoman, Hong Kong

"My colleagues have noticed the difference in me in the past 6 months since I started coaching. I don't take things so seriously and I don't get involved when I don't need to. I can delegate better and I let my staff handle their issues by themselves. My doctor was very surprised that my health is excellent now." [He had high blood pressure.]
