“Anu was an absolute delight to work with. She allowed me to be more open and transparent with her than I’d thought myself capable of being, and would gently but firmly nudge me towards the tough truths I already knew but was scared to acknowledge. I am particularly grateful for her holistic approach to coaching—she doesn’t coach just the professional, but was also highly sensitised to the personal and how that shapes and influences my career choices. Her compassion paved the way for my self-honesty and I am so much more aware of my vulnerabilities and my strengths, and can consciously use them on the work and interpersonal fronts.”
— Yvonne Poon, Attorney-General's Chambers
“Anu’s coaching is underpinned by the idea that true flourishing in the workplace happens when you are able to bring your whole self to your work. I found my sessions with her nourishing – she is a great listener who is able to dynamically point out themes in your own thinking, and guide you towards realisations that were always within you. Anu was also able to provide useful frameworks and actionable steps that enhanced my work life.”
— Amanda Chong, Attorney-General's Chambers

“Every coaching session with Anu was unique, where we picked a topic, and Anu navigated the session by providing different perspectives on how the outlook is influenced by a personality trait or the way we approach the issue. I found this approach very good. I found the sessions an opportunity to cultivate the ability for witnessing and analysing events from a neutral perspective. I would certainly recommend others to be coached by Anu.”
— Gaurav Bhatt, Senior Engineer
“I had just taken on a new management role in my organisation and really cherish the many takeaways from my coaching sessions with Anu. I learnt that it is more important to listen to understand rather than to solve and learnt to approach my new responsibilities with a growth mentality. As I apply the suggestions given by Anu, I have found that they were very well received by my officers and staff. Thank you very much!”

“Anu was the consultant for the Upstream Strategy retreat organised jointly in December 2018 by the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) and Health Promotion Board (HPB). In her facilitation role for the retreat, she played an integral part in the organisation of the event, providing vital perspectives to the organising committee.
During the retreat itself, Anu played a key role in both IMH and HPB generating meaningful and implementable strategies, hence achieving the objectives of the retreat. She was also involved in post-retreat discussions, providing advice in how to move forward with the ideas formulated by both organisations.
Anu provided important insights during the entire process — her perspicacity, openness, and ability to connect with senior leaders of both organisations facilitated the success of the retreat. We are appreciative of her involvement in the process of consolidating strategic ideas in the important area of upstream work in mental health.”
— Raphael Lim Swee Ann, Director, Corporate Development and Forensic Psychiatry Operations, Institute of Mental Health

“Anu’s coaching was beneficial to me. She led me to discover the barriers and performance issues that have been putting a hold on me through her skilled questioning that enabled me to discover my potential to contribute to the organisation.

It was an invaluable activity for me to hold back all my thought of actions into a silent and blank mind to acquire stillness.”
