10 Fun Facts about Me



1.

I am an Enneagram 5w6, 1-1 Subtype. When I first encountered the Enneagram, I thought I was a Type 2. Imagine my initial shock to learn that I am a 5! It turns out that my ability to 'read' others well* comes from a treasure trove of observations and knowledge I've collected.
*Distinctions between type motivations- Finding safety in knowledge and analysis (5) rather than the need to be needed (2)


2.

Proud Pioneer! I claim the title of graduate #001 in 2019 as the very first graduate of The Enneagram Academy, the largest IEA Accredited School in Southeast Asia.


3.

Since 2022, I have accumulated more than 800 hours (and counting!) of coaching experience. I've had the pleasure of coaching and learning from remarkable individuals from diverse backgrounds -- students, C-suite executives, Pastoral staff, Creatives, Educators, Healthcare Professionals, Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, Influencers, Financial and Estate services practitioners, Beauty Pageant/Manhunt contestants (and Winners!), Homemakers, Retirees etc— each bringing their unique stories and experiences to our sessions.


4.

My oldest Coachee to date is 80 years old and she inspires me to always stay humble and that learning is a life-long journey that never stops. Mastery is a process, not a destination.


5.

Before becoming a coach, I served in both the Singapore Civil and Public Service under the social services sector. I am also an avid volunteer with a special affection for supporting isolated seniors; it helps that I speak Hokkien and Cantonese!


6.

My passion for fixing things was evident since childhood! I created a mock advice column at age 10 and made my cousin and friends write me pretend-problems to solve! I named my column "Everything OK".


7.

80% of the books on my personal shelves can be classified under the "Self-Help/Psychology" category.


8.

My favourite 'me-time' activity is doing puzzles, crafting origami, and coloring while listening to Baroque music.


9.

I'm a Highly Sensitive Person* (HSP), which may make me feel like it's a burden at times but I believe this trait has served me well in my coaching journey. My natural introversion and sensitivity help me create a safe space for genuine, heart-to-heart conversations—where vulnerability meets understanding.

*A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is someone who has a heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli and emotional experiences, often processing information and feelings more deeply than others.


10.

I am a Singaporean based in the land of "Fragrant Harbour" (Hong Kong) with my imperfect but exemplary husband and 2 lovely daughters. Someday, my 3rd baby will be a boy! He shall be a Bichon Frise with Afro hairstyle. The perks of living in Hong Kong, to me, includes receiving next-day Taobao deliveries and enjoying cool weather for half of the year.

翁燕萍


"Irene is truly wonderful. She brings such a calm, grounding presence into the session. She listens deeply and creates a space where I feel completely safe to open up and navigate my doubts without fear of judgement. Her insight is gentle yet powerful, and she has a way of guiding the conversation that helps me uncover things I didn’t even realise I needed to process.

There’s a genuine warmth and care in how she shows up that made me feel safe, heard and understood.

You're one of my reasons to be grateful today.

Thank you Irene. "

Nurul Syafiqah


"Irene created a very open and safe space for me to voice my thoughts about my career, which I have never done with anyone else. I’m surprised by how much internal reflection I achieved, which really helped me pin down the vision I have for who I want to be. Irene has a knack for picking out things that were taken for granted by me, and asking deeper questions to help me realize the assumptions behind. It was so encouraging to talk to her and ending up knowing myself better.

I would recommend her coaching session for anyone who wants to clarify their goals, get unstuck and make more meaning out of their careers."

Yuyun Yang, Assistant Professor of Teaching, Lingnan University


"I came into today's session with low expectations, a bit cynical even of coaching. But the 1-on-1 conversation brought so much clarity to me. I usually don't appreciate the value of that kind of focused discussion until after it's happened. You're a very good coach! It was a superb conversation, and you definitely made the difference."

30 April 2025


“Irene was well prepared for our coaching session and we had a very good session that Irene listened and guide me on how to be a better version of myself. Thanks for assigning Irene. She's awesome!”

Tan Hong Tau, Chief Executive Officer,

Manulife Financial Advisers Pte Ltd


"Irene is a thoughtful and skillful coach who creates a safe space to explore what really matters. She listens deeply and asks the right questions to help me see things differently. One insight she helped me uncover — to hold hope in the midst of uncertainty — shifted how I approach each day. I'm grateful for her support and guidance."

Chris Chan, PCC


"Irene has had the makings of an excellent coach for a long time. Even before receiving formal training in coaching, she had this natural way of forming intimate friendships with those around her (while her peers made acquaintances with others at best). This is largely due to her attentiveness, unassuming ways and authenticity. Now that she is a trained coach, not only is she able to feel more deeply, and better relate and empathise with people at a professional level, she is equipped with the skills to elicit deep-seated thoughts and engender awareness, which she executes with an admirable flair.

I've known her for nearly 10 years and she is arguably the best listener I know. As an introvert, I'm grateful for having found a trusted confidante in her. I'm sure those who yearn to plumb the depths of their life to clarify doubts, change up routines, and chase their dreams will benefit immensely from a chat with Irene."

Janice Goh, Career Coach

Jason Teoh, NLP Master Coach

I'm not sure if enough people tell you but I appreciate the work you are doing to help people🙏🏻 It really helps change people's lives for the better so I hope you know you hold an important role in that regard."🙌🏻

"Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, Irene. Honestly, today’s session was one of the best coaching sessions I’ve ever had. The Enneagram students are lucky to have you as their coach!"

“Irene was very clear and helpful. She is a very good coach who can see the core issues and ask very precise questions to help me think through my life situation.”

29 September 2025

Pastoral Staff


"I begin the session not expecting all issues in life can be resolved and untangled, ready to accept the “tied knots” of the rope in my life. As I was not expecting tied knots can be untangled; I intended to step on the “knots” to climb higher instead. However, things took a turn when Irene worked with me in pointing out my blind spots, and journeyed me into seeing a different sphere that changed my perspective.

By the end of the coaching session, I was surprised I can no longer see the tied knots of my life rope. It was untangled in the process. There was a release of pressure on my chest and I felt lighter. I am able to get higher anyway, by flying instead of climbing- now that I feel so much lighter."

Leshawn


“Irene is absolutely 100% amazing in giving me the opportunity to speak and still bring me back to the agenda of discussion. She is so, so good! I have a fantastic experience as my coach Irene was able to listen to me and gave me a space to express my most vulnerable moments.”

28 July 2025

"It was an eye opening session."

20 February 2025


"She was able to hit the nail on the head and help me see things from a perspective that I never thought of."

29 October 2024


"I like how Irene paraphrased and reflected what she heard from me. She is like a mirror, allowing me to witness my thought processes more clearly. She was very patient, non intrusive and allowing, providing me a good safe space to ask questions and put forth my thoughts fully for exploration. I did not expect the coaching to be so fruitful. I saw an old stuck pattern of doing and believing that I can finally move on from.

Learning where I am on the chart of my type really helps me become clear of how much work I have done on myself. I feel like I have just come out of a self development appraisal! Now I tell my workaholic part, "Let's CELEBRATE!"

2 September 2024


"Love it. It goes deep down to what I really want and feel. Great. Very fulfilling as I finally discover the true side of me."

13 August 2024


"Irene was very good at pulling me back to my main concerns and helped me to understand myself better. She successfully guided me out of my negative traits and empowered me to push for my positive ones. Irene was awesome. I wish to be coached more by her in the future. "You make me feel very comfortable to talk to and your coaching level is high so I aspire to be a coach like your kind also. Really appreciate your help!"

20 August 2024


“Irene is a very patient coach and listener. She helps me to identify my problem and think of the solution. Thank you very much for enlightening me, I truly enjoy my session with her."

2 September 2024


"Irene gave me a very safe environment to be vulnerable towards her even though it is our first zoom session. I felt very comfortable talking to her."

December 2023


"I think Irene was able to feel and ask the right questions to bring out my inner thoughts. She was also able to provide a safe emotional space for me to be transparent about how I feel. Being able to apply the big concepts into the smaller details in life and taking active steps to move myself forward. It was a great session."

October 2023


"Great session. Makes me want to resolve a challenge which I want to resolve for months."

19 September 2023


"Irene made me feel safe to share and seek clarity and work towards a development plan of how I can be a better version of myself. To have more structure in my life and start planning, to not suppress my emotions and that I should really start dealing with my emotional baggage. I would recommend this to anyone for personal development. It gave me real insights and I feel liberated to know more about myself and others"

17 August 2023


"1 to 1 coaching with Irene was an excellent experience. She was polite and engaging and one shares with her easily because of her approachable and kind nature. Excellent experience of knowing who I am."

13 August 2023


"Irene was patient and gentle in explaining the chart and strength and negative points of my type and what to work on." "Love Irene! She's so friendly and gentle in sharing and teaching me more about Enneagram."
