About Me

You have spent your career mastering systems, logic, and architecture. But now, as a leader, the problems you face: conflict, influence, and office diplomacy, don't follow a logical API.

I know the frustration of feeling "technically right" but "relationally stuck." As a Taiwanese immigrant and engineering leader with 20+ years of experience, I lived the tension between high-context cultural values (humility, listening) and the low-context demands of US corporate leadership (self-promotion, assertiveness).

I founded Teal Coaching to help engineering leaders bridge this gap. I don't just give you generic advice; I help you re-architect your mental models.

My Methodology:

• The Neuroscience of Influence: Learn to regulate your nervous system so you can lead calmly under pressure.
• Cross-Cultural Fluency: Turn your diverse background into a leadership asset, not a liability.
• Engineering Management Reality: I have led teams; I know the difference between a sprint planning meeting and a strategic roadmap.
