Leading an insurance team is one of the hardest jobs in Singapore.

You were promoted because you performed. But nobody prepared you for what comes next.

The skills that made you a top individual contributor — discipline, personal drive, closing instinct — are not the skills that make a great leader. That gap is where teams break down.

Your top performers are being poached — and you're not sure how to make them want to stay.
Your new managers were promoted because they sold well — not because they knew how to lead others.
You're accountable for the numbers and responsible for your people — simultaneously, every month.
The one-on-ones, the underperformers, the culture — nobody taught you how to handle these.
You're performing under pressure in one of the most demanding sales environments in Asia.
This is not a skills gap. It's a leadership identity gap — and it's exactly where I work.

Executive Coach · Former #1 Global Sales VP · NTU Career Coach

In my first year at Gartner — one of the world's most demanding sales environments — I missed quota. I struggled. I almost didn't make it.

What changed wasn't talent. It was the mentors who helped me understand what leading and performing under pressure actually requires. I went on to become #1 Global Sales VP, a Top 1% global achiever, and multiple Winners Circle and Club 300 qualifier — over 11 years.

Today I coach leaders and managers in insurance and financial services who want to lead with more confidence, develop their people more effectively, and build teams that perform consistently — not just in good months.

My approach is practical and direct. I work on the real situations you're navigating: the underperformer, the culture shift, the leadership identity you're still growing into.
