Inner Work Coaching

The path of awakening is humanity's greatest adventure.

There’s a highest version of yourself that you know exists. It might be a visionary leader, a fully expressed artist, or a self-confident entrepreneur.

Yet there’s a gap between where you are now and that highest self. Herein lies the invitation of a lifetime: walking the path of awakening.

Some of the first steps of this path are when we realize that outward change and material successes aren’t what leads to inner joy. That self-improvement as a battle of grim determination and discipline isn’t a sustainable (or enjoyable) process.

There’s another way.

A way to show up in our lives not trying to achieve happiness, but to live from a place of joy. A way to uplift ourselves and others purely by how we show up in the world.

Honestly, it’s not complex: we need to ignite the inner light of awareness that lives within us. Whether you call it that or not, you know this inner light. You’ve felt it.

It’s ablaze when we’re acting in alignment with our values. Your power of discriminating perception feeds off it.

The work is in keeping that inner light lit. Without that light guiding us, we fall prey to the insidious voice of our inner critic. Impostor syndrome keeps us second guessing ourselves. We forget that joy is within us all along.

My zone of genius as a coach is a youthful exuberance that keeps you connected with a sense of joy on the inner work journey. Together we’ll deconstruct old patterns of thinking that no longer serve you. We’ll craft powerful new perspectives that are perfectly in alignment with your values and vision. Ultimately, we walk the adventure of inner work together.

We’re likely a fit if:

You’re ready to develop a new level of confidence in the face of uncertainty.
You are interested in developing your spiritual side.
You want to up-level your leadership.

If what you’re reading is resonating with what you’re feeling, book an exploration call and we’ll explore if coaching is right for you.

Life is in action. Let’s get you there.

What people say about working with me

“I had such an awesome coaching experience with Wei-Ming. He is an expert at helping guide people through their issues, leveraging careful questioning, fun thought exercises, and really getting you to go outside of your normal thoughts/lens in order to help work through anything that you bring to the table. I loved the initial 360 Leadership profile as a starting point, and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an awesome coach! It was so helpful to have an impartial person to help bounce ideas off of, and to work through so many of the issues that leaders face. ”

— Keith Hughes, VP R&D, Bluberi Gaming

“Wei-Ming has the unique ability to quickly grasp what matters to you, even when you may not realize it yourself. For someone often pulled in many directions, this aid in focus was invaluable. Through my sessions with Wei-Ming, I was able to completely change the way I viewed issues at work and begin working from a much more effective place.”

— Jordan Weyenberg, Digital Transformation Executive

“In our work together, Wei-Ming created the curious and compassionate (and fun!) space I needed to uncover ways in which I was getting in my own way, sit with them, experience what it was like to move beyond those internal blockers, and identify ways to integrate that experience and learning into my day-to-day ways of being. The learning and growth that Wei-Ming helped me cultivate genuinely and meaningfully continue to serve me.”

— Alastair Steward, Organizational Transformation Partner, The Ready

“I believe people should feel empowered to design and direct their own lives, just as an athlete is in charge of their own training and performance. And just as an athlete benefits from the perspective and guidance of a skilled coach, so too can a professional coach offer us valuable insights into our own careers and lives. Wei-Ming brought his intuitive point of view into our coaching sessions and worked with me to understand and approach obstacles in new ways. Wei-Ming asked great questions, offered wise observations, and—most importantly—was patient, positive, and easy to talk to. Through his listening, exercises, and support, Wei-Ming empowered me to more genuinely embody my personal values while pursing my goals. Thanks, Wei-Ming!”

— Kyle Niemier, photographer

“Working with Wei-Ming allowed me to be honest with myself. I learned how to give myself permission, and most importantly, our sessions helped create structured time and space to plan, dream and develop action items. ”

— Joseph Torres, Artist Manager, Feel Good Jawns

“Working with Wei-Ming has been fantastic. I met Wei-Ming when I was in a period of transition and I was trying to hold on to everything. Together we learned what was important and what wasn’t. We then came up with ways to nurture what was important and let go of what wasn’t. Now I feel empowered to build great things! ”

— Allan Snippen, Director, HeartFlow

“Working with Wei-Ming is a breath of fresh air. I spent eight sessions with Wei-Ming this summer, and it was an absolutely awesome experience. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, attentive and supportive partner to help bring some clarity to your life or career do yourself a favor and get in touch. He’s an amazing coach and an even better human. 10/10 would recommend 👍”

— Colin Darland, Software Developer

“Through his guidance and insights he has helped me find my own path to personal growth. My relationship with my family, my teammates, and myself has grown exponentially in the short time that he’s worked with me. Whether helping motivate me to finish up a web app or giving me a paradigm shift in how I relate to my children, Wei-Ming continues to be a catalyst in helping me accomplish tasks I’ve always wanted to do and becoming a person I’ve always wanted to be.”

— Andrew Mueller, Software Engineer

“Wei-Ming is inspirational. He picks up on voice cues and words used to bring out insights about me that I didn’t realize. His sessions are productive, rewarding and motivating. I learned about myself in every session and he always ended on a positive note for closure. Wei-Ming helped me see my value to others, to the world.”

— Dee, Engaged Traveler on Planet Earth

“True happiness/contentment is like a tight rope. We try and try again but always seem to keep falling. When you find the balance of all the things in your life, you’re able to make that journey. Whether slow or fast, you get to the end. Wei-Ming encouraged and pushed me to let myself be ok with my falls and to be honest with myself. To appreciate the small victories and know mistakes are a part of the process; a part of being human. To find my balance in life was the journey I embarked on. That’s the Middle Wei.”

— Adel Kirat, Bedouin, The Vast Universe

Let me put my coach hat on

With me you’ll get an approach that can adroitly switch between breadth and depth, intensity and spaciousness. I am both doggedly committed to your goals and stoked to celebrate you each step of the way.

I pair some of the most comprehensive coach training available at the Co-Active Training Institute with an indefatigable human curiosity and a background that spans the practical to the spiritual. I specialize in cultivating mindfulness and integration for those who may have found “success” but are ready to live the lives they’ve always wanted to.
