  Head of Coaching Science & Research

  Designed and delivering following pioneering projects with a team of Research Associates with a mission to engage our community for coaching awareness, excellence and advancement:1) Industry Research: Launched a survey to Study Trends in Interventions for Organisational Development. Intention of the survey is to better understand relative awareness, perceptions, barriers and motivators for using coaching, mentoring, consulting, counselling and training as interventions. Participants of the survey, who will typically be decision makers in HR, L&D, TD, OD within organisations, will be invited for an Experience Coaching & Networking Event hosted by ICF Singapore Chapter. Ultimately goal is for the survey to also spread the awareness of ICF and Coaching as an intervention of choice. 2) Professional Research: Developed live coaching demonstration videos to showcase the power of coaching, and ICF Core Competencies. The videos are paired with feedback sessions from mentors, trainers and master coaches to provide an effective platform for new and seasoned coaches to reflect on what core competencies are demonstrated and how can it be improved on. This is the first time a project like this is undertaken by ICF. In addition we are also delivering the following project that was initiated in 2015:3) Academic Research: Presenting summary to our members of leading coaching research published in academic journals.ICF Singapore is a chartered chapter of ICF (the International Coach Federation), founded in 2002 and currently represents close to 500 coaches in Singapore.
