Can I ask you for advice/help on something?
As part of the Ask Celes section, I now accept reader questions. I figured since I was answering mails on a regular basis, sharing some of my answers to the readers gives others the chance to draw insights and learnings. Please check the Ask Celes section for all past questions asked.
I believe this is a win-win – The person asking the question gets to benefit since it's a much more in-depth answer than I would have written if it's a private email, and readers of TPEB benefit by drawing insights from others' experiences. It's also a chance for TPEB readers to get to know how the other readers are like and what's on their mind.
There are some set guidelines to take note
- Please (1) limit to only 1 question per letter (2) Ensure the question isn't already covered by an existing article or past reader question. Due to the high volume of requests, I can only pick 1-2 letters to reply every 2 weeks. Hence, just because you submitted your question doesn't mean it will be answered. I'm sorry about that!
- By sending your question in, you give me the full permission to publish your question on TPEB. I may edit for clarity's sake and/or to correct English errors (if any), but the overall message will be left intact. If you would like to remain anonymous, just state that in your message. You are also free to use an alias.
- I'm pretty open about the questions you can ask. Generally anything about us and about life is linked to personal development any way, so I find it hard to go out of topic. You are also free to ask me personal questions about myself if you want, and I will answer if it's appropriate.
- If your question is chosen, I will write a blog post in response. I generally pick questions that (1) reflect general needs of other readers (2) have not been addressed before in any articles at the blog.
- Clearly, my replies reflect my personal opinion and advice. Please do not see it as a substitute for psychiatric or medical help. I do not claim my answers are the singular truth but I will certainly answer to my best ability and share what I know.
- I will not reply to you individually, so you have to check back at the blog to see if your question is featured. Subscribe to the email newsletter so you won't miss any update.
- Questions are to be submitted via the contact form. Choose "Ask Celes" in the drop down box.
Ultimately, this is only a limited channel for me to offer help. If you would like holistic coaching to achieve your life goals, please kindly engage me as your personal life coach.
Can I use your writings in my site/project/publication/etc?
Yes by all means, go ahead! Please contact me with the details. I'm generally fine with republication of my content as long as proper credit is given to me, a linkback provided to The Personal Excellence Blog and the key message is left intact.
Do you write all the articles here?
Yes. All my articles are inspired by personal incidences in my life and all my content shares my best advice and learnings. I write every article with openness and authenticity, sharing my personal stories (both down times and upsides) so all of us can learn together in our journey of growth. I do my best to pack the maximum value with all my writings.
Do you accept guest posts?
Unfortunately I don't. This blog is intended to be an aclove of my personal advice on how to achieve personal excellence. I don't accept guest posts since I can't personally endorse the advice others give.
Do you do speaking/training engagements?
Yes I do! Please refer to TSOPE.net for more details.
Do you do 1-1 coaching?
I offer 1-1 life coaching, where I guide coachees on certain areas in their life they are seeking assistance in. For more details, please refer to my Life Coaching Services section, which has a very extensive write-up on what life coaching is about, what to expect from coaching, fees, and more.
How can I support you?
I get this question from time to time by appreciative and supportive readers, and I really appreciate your kind gesture. There are several ways you can support me, which you can read about here.
