MY STORY
“… years of living in a zombie-like state.”
The defining moment in my life came for me after years of living in a zombie-like state. Immediately after finishing college, I followed the “traditional” route of joining a large hospital to start at the bottom of the corporate ladder, slaving for the “man” and working my tush off in order to advance myself. After a while I realized the proverbial carrot would always be dangled just inches from my face, not allowing me to ever claim my hard-earned prize. I knew deep down that I was talented, smart, creative, and hard-working, and have others determine how much fulfillment, satisfaction, and money I received in my job was not my ultimate destiny. After months of quiet desperation and wishing for some sign to appear to me, the defining moment happened.
“The answer just fell onto my lap…”
My friend dropped off a flyer on my desk for a professional coach training class, and immediately my heart began pounding uncontrollably in my chest and I began to get butterflies. I knew it, the answer just fell onto my lap and I was primed to answer my calling. I could no longer take the pain of being underpaid, overworked, and underappreciated and so I seized the opportunity to learn how I could systematically help others create the life of their dreams. From that moment on, I have been working my passion of helping people discover their own passions, embrace their talents, and find the ovarios (or cojones) to go after what they truly dream of in life. Everything else is history.

Q:Where did you get your training?
I received a certificate from the University of California Davis Extensions in Professional Coaching for Life and Work: an intensive 5 month hands-on experiential coaching program. I am in the process of being certified through the International Coaching Federation.
Q: Who are your clients exactly?
Chinh: I work with people who are ready to shed their fears in order to create the life they’ve always dreamed of, from creating more wealth to finding the love of their life. I help people who are ready to be accountable for their own actions and decisions, and understand that change needs to come from within.
Q: How are you different from other “life coaches”?
Chinh: I believe in the ability of my clients, 200%. I help them find the power within to create the life of their dreams. At the same time, I am real and I will give it to my clients straight. I let them know upfront that real change takes time and it’s not easy, but I am always here for them, supporting them and believing in them when they need it most.
Q: How do you know if life coaching is right for me?
Chinh: Coaching is right for you if you are ready to take a deep look inside yourself to figure out what’s not working and how you can change the way you think and act to achieve your goals. You are ready for coaching when you become accountable for the current state of your life and realize that you have the power to change anything you are not satisfied with. When you are ready to stop making excuses and start making promises to yourself, then you are ready to be coached.
Q: What kind of person is life coaching NOT going to work for?
Chinh: People who blame others for their current situation. People who are not yet open to taking responsibility for their actions.
Q: Does this really work?
Chinh: It works if the individual is ready and willing to be the own creator of the life they’ve always dreamed of.
Q: What results can I expect?
Chinh: The results are endless but they are up to the individual.
Fearlessness. This doesn’t mean that you won’t have ANY fears, but you’ll gain the ability to move past them so they don’t paralyze you on your journey to success.
Empowerment. You will gain confidence and strength in your ability to change your life and create a life beyond your wildest imagination.
Happiness and greater satisfaction with your life. In my opinion, that’s pretty damn priceless.
Confidence and increased self-love. You will learn how to appreciate all your qualities and love yourself just the way you are.
Higher awareness of your actions and thoughts that create success and those that hinder progress.
Accountability. Being accountable for your own actions is the key to keeping the power within yourself instead of feeling powerless.
Q: How quickly can I expect results?
Chinh: As quickly as you want. The results are up to you.
Q: How will we work together and what does the program entail?
Chinh: We will work together once per week, via phone.
Q: How long is your program?
Chinh: I ask that you commit to at least 3 months. This will allow enough time for you to dig deep inside yourself for the answers, to make your new habits stick, and to make real lasting change once you are done with my coaching program.
Q: If I’m not sure if I am ready to get started, how do sample your services before investing in your program?
