HI, I'M KAN
-
I used to think that I was an extrovert, but I find true fulfillment in deep one-on-one conversations or within small circles.
-
I once aspired to be a glamorous financial analyst, but 15 years ago, I realized my passion lies in teaching, mentoring and communicating ideas.
-
I thought I could handle all challenges by myself, until I faced moments where I considered quitting graduate school, later my job, and then my business. All these “crisis” led me to understand the roots of my pattern of
- Perfectionism
- People pleasing
- Imposter syndrome
- Stress and feeling blah
The most profound lesson I’ve learned in my personal and professional journey of self-discovery is that
I believe that success happens when things are done the right way, leading to predictable results. The right way comes from a deep self-awareness and understanding what’s holding you back.
It's OKAY to not be who we thought we were.
As a leadership coach, I co-create success and redefine potential with my clients by seeking depth, breadth, and details.
While we all desire better habits and sustainable change, I specialize in working with:
Rising high-performers in their late 20s and 30s
whose primary focus is productivity and balance. They are aiming to excel while also seeking a harmonious work-life integration.
Seasoned professionals in their late 40s and 50s
looking for clarity on how to create more impact, define and refine their legacy, and how to leverage their experience for maximum influence.
What remains constant in my work, regardless of your priorities, is the unwavering support I provide. You will have as much access to me as you need to break through barriers and achieve your goals.
Beyond coaching sessions, my support extends to
-
Spot coaching via text/voice memo
-
Action/strategy debriefs
-
Accountability check-ins
-
Brainstorming sessions
Proudly, I build trusting relationships where clients can count on me.
What’s more? I create a safe space where you feel truly seen and supported, helping you move past what’s holding you back with full acceptance. Together, we’ll cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself, empowering you to feel more confident, grounded, and aligned as you lead and evolve as a high performer.
Beyond Coaching
At the age of 22, I moved to the United States. Prior settling in Ohio, my journey in academia led me to earn a Ph.D. in Economics from Purdue University. Today, I am privileged to be a college professor, teaching and doing research on international trade and business.
When I’m not teaching or working with clients, I am deeply passionate about athletic challenges that push my limits and keep me energized.
I’ve proudly completed four half marathons, each one a testament to my dedication and perseverance. My competitive spirit also found an outlet in amateur tennis, where I spent three years competing in an indoor league.
Yoga, another cornerstone of my life, has provided me with balance and mindfulness. Becoming a certified yoga teacher was a transformative experience, allowing me to share the peace and strength that yoga brings and keeping me grounded amidst the hustle and bustle of business and academia.
Through all these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of resilience, discipline, and continuous growth. Each challenge, whether academic or athletic, has enriched my life and shaped who I am today.
