When I took Tom was my second coach, since my previous coach had taken another assignment, I was just expecting to continue as I was doing with the former coach.

What sets Thomas apart from others is his consistent effort in encouraging me reaching deeper and further into motivation and drivers, to help me crystalize the principles that guide my life, both professionally and out of work. By setting up the goal post from the beginning, I find the coaching experience with Thomas rewarding in both resolving short term challenges, and more importantly, anchoring myself to the true principles in life that shall be able to stand the test of time. In this, I am extremely thankful to Thomas’ help and also the opportunity to know a great friend!

“It has been great time interacting with Tom. He was a coach who had genuine interest in human being and focusing on “me” as a person. He always looked for reasons instead of rushing into the solution and helped me looking at myself before the objectives. He not only provide coaching in words but also helped me centering myself by some activities and introducing books. He offered extra time whenever needed and I felt he is very responsible and trustworthy. Appreciate the coaching time with Tom.”
I worked with Thomas over the past 6 months, and he helped me a lot to understand myself and my company. From the very first moment he established a very personal relationship which was fully trust based and allowed for a safe room to discuss really all aspects of my issues. This was at the same time maybe one of the most important lessons I learned: put a lot of effort into managing personal relationships – once the chemistry between two person works, all issues can be addressed heads on and have already lost most of their threatening power.

I approached the coaching program with my usual reservations thinking I was enrolling in yet another self-help program loaded with a lot of theory.

Tom Chen was truly a great coach for me. I believe that the most important thing he helped me with was how to address issues at the core with “centering techniques”. This was a different approach from my previous coaches, who would work to help me address specific activites (e.g. specific presentations). By being able to center myself, I am able to address issues under any circumstances. While helping me work on areas to improve my professional life, he was able to show me how to apply them in my personal life as well. This has been a tremendous help to my overall well-being.

“Thomas Chen is not a big man, that is, he has a slight, wiry, athletic frame. As it turns out, that is the only thing small about Thomas. To begin with he has an immense heart, and as you will learn, you cannot be a coach if you don’t care deeply about your ‘coachee’…Thomas Chen is a Master Coach.
