Cheng Yin Symonds Email and Phone Number

I am a results-oriented leadership coach and expert facilitator specializing in individual and team leadership behaviors and practices. I've worked with numerous executives in powerfully changing their leadership journeys, especially in leading diverse multinational or cross-cultural teams.Leaders work with me when they transition into different roles, when business challenges change, when they are building diverse teams with challenging performance missions, or simply because they know it is possible to operate differently, whether in areas pertaining to their own leadership effectiveness, or the effectiveness of others around them.I believe that executive board members, corporate leaders and their senior teams are typically already “certified-smart” and high-functioning, by virtue of the selection processes that had resulted in their current assignments. With clarity through increased awareness, strong doses of commitment, responsibility, humility, courage and discipline, most leaders become eminently capable of navigating in highly effective ways. Clients say that, as a coach and facilitator, I am insightful, direct and tough, but caring, personal and fun at the same time. I am adapt at customizing team learning environments where it is safe for leaders to have frank dialogues, develop agreements and kick-start subsequent change. With a relaxed demeanor and an occasional wicked sense of humor, I am known to work well with people, even those who are tough to get through to.Professionally, I operate in English. I am casually fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese; and I am on a learning journey with Spanish.
