The people behind MBA

Aileen is a leadership coach whose clients are senior leaders embracing the challenges and opportunities of mid-life. At work, they’re being called to level up as a leader. They no longer want to be the overworked one solving all the problems. They want to become a true people leader. They want more time and energy for their relationships and the important things in life. For things they used to love, and themselves! They’re looking for meaning and purpose. They’re wondering if joy and ease are possible. If there are better ways to grow. Before coaching, she was in fast-paced technology companies for 15 years. She built products and teams from scratch. She transformed cultures and organizations.

Charlotte is a certified Co-Active coach, fractional CMO, and workshop facilitator based in Singapore. She didn’t arrive at coaching because she had it all figured out — she arrived because she didn’t, and Co-Active training was the thing that changed that. Her work, in any room, comes down to the same thing: help people see what’s already there — they just hadn’t noticed yet. She coaches women navigating big transitions, works with brands on who they actually are, and asks a lot of questions for a living. She is, in fact, certified to do so.

“Together, Let’s co-create your transformation journey!”

Joey coaches leaders across Southeast Asia, especially drawn to men in influential positions who want to use their power and privilege in a way other than the one they were handed. He arrived here by an unlikely route: a biochemistry degree, then years in executive pay consulting in London, before he left to do work that meant more. In Phnom Penh he founded the Cambodia Coaching Institute, training the country’s first professional coaches, and he runs a functional fitness gym called The Weighting Room. He doesn’t treat the scientific, the physical, and the spiritual as separate questions. He takes the work seriously and is quick to laugh at himself. Underneath it all is a belief in strength held with love.

With over 15 years of OD and leadership development experience across APAC, she brings rigor, heart, and a gift for making hard conversations feel surprisingly human. She is an ICF PCC, certified ORSC Coach, and CRR Global Faculty member. Her sharpest leadership laboratory? Raising three boys — where every coaching and leadership skill gets its most honest, unscripted field test.

Zaf’s career trajectory has been an unusual one, crossing academia, consulting, banking, and organizational transformation over the last 25 years.

Despite a very analytical education, the recurring theme he discovered as a leader was his curiosity for people and what makes them tick, individually and in groups. He’s deeply fascinated by the intersection between the scientific and the humanistic approaches to helping people reach the potential.

Now certified as both a coach and a psychotherapist, he feels very lucky to be able to follow what he feels is his true calling.
