People First
I am a people enthusiast who cares deeply about holistic well-being and bringing it alive at scale; both in workplaces and in society. This passion was born out of a merging of yoga, a decade of climbing, and three and a half years on Team Experience at a direct-to-consumer start-up. The latter positioned me as a central figure – a face of the company – becoming the de-facto emcee for all hands meetings, planning team events, facilitating new-hire training, managing internal communication and establishing relationships throughout the entire team.
As I deepened my own practice, and saw how helter-skelter our postmodern world is becoming, I take a stand that with intention and training, we can cultivate a sense of well-being, inner peace, and coherence. And we don’t have to leave that behind when we go to work. Our workplaces have the potential to amplify our growth as a whole person, not just as a professional.
In what can feel like an increasingly isolated world, I excel at showing up with contagious energy and bringing people back to their humanness.

Past Engagements
“I had the privilege of working with Wei-Ming for 3+ years at Tuft & Needle. Wei-Ming played an invaluable role in supporting and shaping T&N's culture. On an individual level, Wei-Ming was remarkable at promoting authenticity and enthusiasm with all of his actions, and serving as an inspiration and role model for the rest of the team to exemplify similar behaviors. Most importantly, Wei-Ming listened. He did so actively, and would follow-up weeks or months later on topics that many might have assumed were topics of transitory conversations. In his unique ability to listen, Wei-Ming encouraged others to change, to improve and to grow.”

Team Building + Facilitation
Trust and vulnerability are fundamental building blocks to thriving collaboration. Unfortunately, the pace of business often leaves these crucial elements as a woebegone afterthought behind fighting fires and delivering results. When we slow down to truly get to know our teammates, we make a relational investment that yields greater business effectiveness, less friction, and more fulfilling work.
Blending artful facilitation, business outcomes, and the element of play, we’ll work with you to design an unforgettable team experience whether it’s a remote team event or a multi-day on-site.
Leadership and Team Coaching
Coaching is all about empowering deep change.
With a leader or a team, our work is rooted in goals that are meaningful, growth oriented, and inspirational to you. As we step into coaching work, I serve principally as a thought provocateur – a catalyst for change that sparks new ways of looking at old challenges. I lean on a coaching style that has been described by clients as emergent, embodied, and vulnerable.
Either through on-going sessions or deep-diving workshops, we’ll highlight existing strengths while uncovering blind-spots and under-leveraged opportunities.
Leadership Development
Transformation starts with those that lead. Utilizing the Leadership Circle Profile™, we work with companies to evolve leaders through deep self-awareness.
The Leadership Circle Profile™ is a catalyst for leadership effectiveness. It leans on 360 feedback, a self assessment, and an interactive debrief with a leadership coach. It's unlike any other 360 out there because it sheds light on three crucial dimensions all in one assessment: leadership competencies, assumptions, and style-type personality.
Leadership At All Levels
Zooming out to an entire team or company, we can further partner to create an entire culture of leadership. The Collective Leadership Assessment™ leans on the Leadership Circle® model to show a comprehensive view your team’s present day collective leadership effectiveness compared to the effectiveness they are desiring to create. Empowered with this vision, your team has a roadmap of development to powerfully shift the needle on individual leadership and ownership.
Let's make the world of work a better place.
