Transformation and Empowerment Coach for Leadership & Communication Skills
Since 2008, Cecilia has specialized in designing and delivering impactful leadership training programs that enhance leadership, emotional intelligence, and communication skills.
With extensive experience across the Asia Pacific region, she has facilitated comprehensive, multi-modal leadership development sessions for over 5,000 managers and executives in 14 countries. Cecilia’s expertise includes certification in Lumina Learning assessments, which she leverages to bring the human side of work into her approach. Her coaching integrates heart, soul, and intuition into traditional leadership and communication skills training, helping professionals unlock their full potential. Her programs are designed to help leaders be their true selves, build meaningful connections, and work together with intention. The goal is to empower them to succeed in their organizations while also finding personal fulfillment along the way.
In the early 2000s, Cecilia dedicated herself to promoting personal growth programs in Asia Pacific and nurturing a thriving community in Hong Kong. The experience of transforming lives and facilitating inspiring change was both electrifying and deeply gratifying. However, the demands of the business took a toll on her, leaving her physically burnt out, financially burdened, and spiritually depleted.
At her absolute lowest point, Cecilia suffered a total breakdown that impacted her career, personal relationship, finances, and most importantly, her health. Recognizing the need for radical change, she developed a comprehensive self-care protocol that combined unique resilience strategies, a balanced diet, mind conditioning, meditation, spiritual guidance, and an unyielding action plan. Through a challenging and metamorphic journey over the course of a year, Cecilia completely turned her life around, reshaped her professional landscape, regained her vitality, significantly improved her financial standing and reinvigorated her overall sense of purpose.

Cecilia’s passion lies in empowering people to transform from the inside out—bringing heart, soul, and strategy into leadership and life.
She’s equally energised working with emerging leaders as she is with seasoned executives, and has delivered high-impact leadership programs to over 5,000 professionals across 14 countries in the Asia Pacific region.
Her turning point came after years of personal and professional burnout, which sparked a powerful transformation. Drawing on that experience, Cecilia now specialises in resilience-building, authentic leadership, and conscious collaboration.
Her approach blends intuition with proven techniques, helping people lead with purpose, restore balance, and thrive—both at work and in life.
Joining The Hinwood Institute has given Cecilia a meaningful platform to continue this transformational work, supporting individuals and organisations to realise their full potential with clarity, courage, and connection.
