Hi there 👋
My name is Wei-Ming, and yes, that’s a photo of me up there. Although it’s from a previous lifetime where my life revolved around rock-climbing, I use it here because it captures some qualities of who I am, what I believe, and how I want to show up through my work.
I am a great light. That’s actually what my name means. I love that my grandfather named me this because it calls me to step into a particular responsibility. Responsibility to live a life of joy, peace, and radiance. My “job” on earth is to be a person who can show that light is not just possible, but that it’s our birthright to live from a place of illumination. In our times of seemingly overwhelming forces of darkness, I find this calling intimidating and aspirational… But only if I believe I have to do so perfectly. Instead of aiming to be a perfect beacon, I humbly apply myself again and again. Success. Failure. Success. Failure. Get up and try again. In so doing, I have become a person unflappably committed to seeing the best in myself and others for the upliftment of all beings everywhere.
It’s a comical follow-up to the above, but it’s true: By nature, I tend to be fairly irritable. Over time, I've learned to allow these emotions to be my teachers, not my enemies. As Walt Whitman wrote and Bob Dylan crooned: “I contain multitudes” (and so do you).
I tenaciously and assiduously apply myself to the lifelong project of understanding oneself and our place amongst each other.
Although I was awarded the “Best All-Around Senior” award at high school graduation, I have a tendency to feel lonely, like a misfit, and that I don’t belong.
I believe the perspective of “adventure” richly rewards those who employ it to view every aspect of life - whether that be day-to-day responsibilities and relationships or epic feats of human potential. Life is an invitation to adventure. Please. Open. The. Invitation.
I don’t fit into a traditional career path, but I do believe in serving humanity powerfully. For this maverick approach to work-life, I blame my grandfather and father who both grabbed life in their bare hands, tucked their chins to their chests, and bore their hardheaded skulls into the maelstrom of the world and charted their own paths. I aspire to achieve their herculean level of resilient strength that gave generously to those in their lives.
I know from direct experience that peace, love, harmony, and joy are inherent qualities within us. I also know from direct experience that these exact states of being can feel frustratingly, maddeningly unattainable. I've spent a large percentage of my life mired in a feeling of not-enoughness, uneasiness, and grasping after peace. Thankfully, through the grace of God, I now understand equanimity and ease aren't dependent on things going our way, getting what we want, or even winning the lottery (although the latter would be admittedly quite a fun happenstance). They are resilient resources within us that can be tapped into with the right mindset.
Last but certainly not least, I believe in the inherent goodness of all beings.
“We” is more fun than “me.”
Let’s work together.
Coaching
I specialize in Peace and Strength. Not optimization, not maximization, nor over-exertion.
Akin to a focusing lens, coaching refines your perspectives, empowers your intentions, and supports your purpose.
Yoga
As a modern teacher in a western context, I do my best to honor the ancient practice of yoga.
Even though I have a teaching certification, I consider myself a humble, life-long student. As my father taught me, there is always more to learn, and it is folly to consider oneself an expert.
Team Development
A company thrives when its people thrive. I help with the latter.
If your business is making moves in its industry, let’s make moves inside it too.
Offerings:
Leadership Coaching
360 feedback
Mindfulness Workshops
Experience Design and Team Building
