About Celes

That's Me :)

“All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney

I’m Celestine Chua, go-getter, passionate idealist, advocate of truth and experiencer of life. Please feel free to call me Celes as I find it more personable :) .

My biggest passion in life is to help you achieve your highest potential and live your best life. This passion drives me in everything I do, from my long-term goals right down to my daily interactions with you.

The Personal Excellence Blog is where I share my best advice on how to achieve excellence and live our best lives. :) It is one of the top 50k websites in the world (Alexa.com), receives over 20k unique visitors/month, over 300k pageviews/month and is one of the top 20 personal development blogs online with over 8,500 subscribers. We have received nearly 20 media coverages in over 10 prominent media/press outlets, including CNN, Asia One, Today, Lianhe Zaobao, Lianhe Wanbao, Simply Her magazine, My Paper and 938 Live radio. My posts have been featured at the biggest personal development blogs online, including Life Hack, DumbLittleMan and Zen Habits (top 25 blogs as rated by Time Magazine). If you are new to the blog, visit the welcome guide.

I’m a peak performance expert and founder of The School of Personal Excellence (TSOPE), where I conduct workshops and 1-1 coaching to help others achieve excellence. I recently released my 1st ever book, The Personal Excellence Book, which exceeded pre-sales quota in just the 1st hour of launch and is met with great reviews from readers (thanks guys! :D ).

Before starting this blog, I studied in National University of Singapore Business School from 2003-2006, where I was on the Dean’s List. I graduated as the top marketing student and was awarded as the most outstanding student. After that, I worked a Fortune 100 company (P&G), managing billion-dollar brands in Asia Pacific, before eventually quitting in 2008 to pursue my real passion (as covered in media).

I’m born and raised in Singapore, and have traveled widely across Asia Pacific region. I have aspirations to live abroad in the future, possibly US. I’m extroverted-introvert, spontaneous, a pretty serious person (who laughs a lot – go figure!), forthright (I’m not afraid to stand up for what’s right), authentic, a vegan (since 2008) and a passionate advocate of life :) .

My Purpose

This is my purpose I live by every day. This is also the mission statement for TPEB and TSOPE:

  • “To touch others’ lives, help them achieve their highest potential and live their best lives”
  • “To achieve my highest potential and live consciously and freely in truth, love and power”
