I am a dad to two beautiful children, i.e. one 12-year-old daughter and one 3-year-old boy. I used to lead an extremely busy corporate life being a senior executive in multinational companies, and my inability to find a healthy balance between work and family eventually had serious negative implications in my family life. I knew I had to do something, and in my search for parenting help, I found the Jai Institute for Parenting and I eventually completed their certification program as a Certified Parenting Coach.

I love being able to practice what I learn in the field of parenting, and I find that I love being a coach and helping other parents who are struggling with parenting challenges like I used to be and am still struggling.

I believe that almost all parenting problems can be alleviated if parents are willing to start looking for solutions within the parents themselves instead of hoping or wanting the change to come from the children. I always say that if we as parents are not able to solve our parenting problems, then expecting the solution to come from our children is almost like wishing for miracles.

Even if the issues clearly seem to be focused on the children, I still believe there are lots that we as parents can do without placing our expectations and hope solely on our children to make improvements or changes.

When we as parents take good care of ourselves, we definitely stand a much greater chance of helping our children and enjoying the relationship with our children, and even cherishing ourselves and our children just as they are.

When I'm not coaching, I enjoy playing tennis, watching films and vacationing with my family. Nowadays, I also allocate my time to teach English as a foreign language to young children in China as well as learning more about coaching and personal development skills that I can apply in my coaching practice.
