Hey there! My name is Celestine Chua. In 2008, I left my Fortune 100 career to pursue my passion to help others grow. Today, I’m the CEO of The School of Personal Excellence and personal excellence coach who helps others achieve their goals and dreams. I have been featured multiple times in media such as Asia One and My Paper.

Unlike common misconceptions, life coaching is not (just) about resolving “issues” or “problems”. In fact, many of my clients are extremely smart, capable and talented individuals (some directors and business owners) who recognize that working with someone on their goals enables them to achieve even greater results in a faster span of time than working alone. Life coaching is for anyone who wants to grow and become better. If you want to get more out of your life and achieve greater excellence and success, I’m here to help you do that!

Here are some of the many testimonials my clients have given:

"The coaching by Celes exceeded my expectations. I had eurekas almost every week! I got my life, which was eluding me for years, back. I didn’t only get it back; I improved on it. What I feel are the best things about her coaching are her Socrates coaching method, her genuine energy and dedication to see you through and her almost immediate SMS responses.

Celes is a great coach because she asks the right questions. She is a great coach because she is an enabler and a genuine listener. It's amazing that, she is right all long – the answers are all within ourselves. I will definitely recommend her to other people!"

- Stevens, Assistant General Manager, 30

"The coaching results was beyond my expectation. I rate it a 10/10. At first I was hesitant because I was not sure whether it was worth enough to spend on self development which I think I could learn by myself. But within the first 3 sessions of coaching, I found out what I knew as the theories of living my best life had actually never been applied by me into my life.

And Celes helped me to point out the past experiences and peoples' opinion should not stop me to move forward and getting what I want. Now my confidence increased and I smile everyday happily to welcome my new day. My relationships with my family and friends are getting better and I feel surrounded by love more and more each day.

I can feel Celes' energy and her passion on what she does as a coach, so I am very fortunate to get to know her, and her positive attitude as a coach really affected me. I know if she can, I can be as positive as her too.

I am surely will recommend her to others who really want to improve their life.

Thank you very much Celes. :)"

- Name withheld for confidentiality reasons, IT Manager, 35

“Hey Celes! I can say with total honesty that you have been one of the greatest and most positive influences on my life to date. A lot of people have contributed to the potential I have, for which I’m eternally grateful. But you have done so much more than that. What you’ve contributed was allowing me to really SEE that potential within myself, and ignited a fire within which propels me to actually work on giving that potential to the world around me. Thank you so much! And thank you for who you are and what you stand for. ”

- Keith Dunnigan, 36

What Life Coaching Is About

Life coaching is a 1-1 partnering relationship where I work with you to pursue your personal goals and maximize your potential.

Here’s what life coaching is NOT:

• Life coaching is NOT counseling or therapy. These techniques start from the perspective that there is a problem in the client, while the coaching perspective is you are fundamentally whole, healthy and capable to bring about the changes you want in your life.
• Life coaching is NOT mentoring. Mentoring involves transference of specific knowledge/experience/wisdom from the mentor to the client. Coaching may at times involve transference in contexts where appropriate, but it’s much more than that.
• Life coaching is NOT just about motivation. It is more just motivation or ra-ra action.
• Life coaching is NOT about living in the past or creating false illusions of the future.
• A life coach does NOT live your life for you. I’m not here to make your decisions for you, give you direct answers, solve your problems or help you achieve your goals.
• A life coach does NOT give advice or tell you how to live your life. I’m here to facilitate your thought process and elicit self-generated solutions within you. While I may discuss and suggest options where requested, the final decision comes from within you.

Here’s what life coaching IS about:

• Unlocking your potential. This means looking beyond your current abilities, delving into your hidden potential and releasing it to help you be who you want to be and achieve the results you desire.
• Self-discovery – Letting you discover and decide for yourself what is the best manner to get your desired results.
• Help you help yourself. I’m here to guide, empower and enable you to create whatever results you seek through self-elicited solutions. As the coachee, you are the leader and owner of your life.
• Progress – designing plans and solutions, taking on concrete actions, overcoming obstacles and creating real results and change. It is extremely solution focused, action-driven and results-oriented.
• Creating lasting change. My desired end goal is for you to become independent and capable of achieving the same, if not more, results without a coach.
• Living in the present and moving forward to where you want to be. The extent we look into the past is to understand and learn from it, so you can use the learnings to move into your envisioned future.

This means that:

• All the answers are not “out there”; neither are they in me. The answers will come from you. I’m here to help you help yourself.
• You are perfect and whole by yourself. There are no issues with you or your life unless you feel otherwise. This is where I enter to coach you, under on your request.
• You are fully capable to achieve whatever you want to achieve.
• You are free from being judged.
• You are open to share everything you are comfortable sharing. All information will be kept private and confidential.
• You will take full accountability for your issues, goals, decisions, results and your life.
• You have complete freedom to make your decisions and choose your actions.

My 1-1 Personal Transformation Program

The program I run on my 1-1 coaching is the 1-1 Personal Transformation Program (PTP), a transformational program which lasts for 8 weekly sessions, 1 hour each. The commencement of this program marks the very beginning to achieving greater heights in your life!

Acclaimed by many of my clients, this is a program customized at the individual level to fit your profile, simply because you are unique and different from everyone else. We will target 2 of your personal goals with PTP.

If you have more than 2 goals, please kindly inform me with (a) number of goals you are working on (b) details of your goals for a customized program duration and rate.

Through my direct coaching and your active involvement, you will gain clarity on your goals, unlock the barriers stopping you from achieving them, design hard-hitting action plans to achieve and exceed your desired level of success.

These 8 sessions are meant to give you a jumpstart on your personal goals. As with every journey of growth, it is an ongoing process and doesn’t just end after 8 weeks. At the end of the 8 sessions, you can renew it in sets of 4 sessions. Many of my clients have opted to continue the coaching because they have reaped so many benefits and seen the positive effects manifested in their life.

Cost: $450USD ($675SGD)* for 8 weekly sessions, 1 hr each (Latest rates as of Feb 2010)

3 Reasons To Engage Me As Your Coach

(1) I’m passionate about excellence – You are probably not going to find another person as passionate about growth as I am. I’m continuously upgrading myself and relentlessly pursuing excellence both as a student of life and to be the best coach to you.

(2) I’m dedicated to your cause. All my past clients can attest to the level of commitment I put into the coaching relationship. This is more than just business to me - it's my life mission to help people achieve excellence and live their best life. I ensure you get only the best for your time and money’s worth.

(3) I’m probably the best coach you can get - and I'm continuously pushing myself to be better. I focus on creating real change through emphasis on solutions, actions and results. Some of my clients have been to various counselors and self-help workshops before and have feedback that they experienced better results with my coaching program. Here is a partial list of testimonials from my readers and clients have given.

That’s because my coaching is conducted using my own unique coaching philosophy, frameworks, techniques and tools. While I began coaching professionally in 2009, my journey of growth began long before that. My system of coaching is really based on the best learnings in my life, what I have found to be most effective in my pursuit to live my best life, integrated with the best industry knowledge there is out there. Quite simply, you are not going to find anyone or any resource out there with this same system. What’s more, I customize every 1-1 individual coaching program to fit your individual profile and needs, to create specific results and outputs for you.

For example, one of the key aspects of what I do is I focus on dealing with root causes. Many personal development materials only deal with effects, not cause. However, many of the issues faced in life are often effects of the root causes. I focus on getting down to the root-cause with you so we can eradicate the original issue and create lasting change from there.

In the past year, I have intensely coached nearly 100 diverse individuals. These people range from as young as 13, 20s, 30s to even late 50s. They come from all walks of life – such as students, medical profession, banking & finance sectors, teachers, engineers or unemployed. Whatever the topic is that you are looking to be coached on, it’s highly possible that I have already coached someone else on it!
