CECILLA YEUNG
Transformation and EmpowermentSince 2008, Cecilia has custom-designed and facilitated comprehensive, multi-modality, high-impact leadership programs tailored for clients at various leadership levels in the Asia Pacific region. She has personally conducted leadership skills training for over 5,000 managers and leaders across 14 countries. By infusing heart, soul, and intuition into traditional training and development models, she aims to maximize personal fulfillment in the workplace and empower individuals to thrive through authenticity, purposeful connections, and conscious collaboration.
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.
Since her remarkable turnaround, Cecilia has dedicated her career to maximizing personal and professional resilience for life fulfillment, purposeful work and the realization of full potential. She is particularly driven to empower individuals to thrive through authenticity, purposeful connections, and conscious collaboration. Clients have experienced these benefits through her bespoke leadership programs, one-on-one coaching, leadership skills training, engaging presentations, and her proprietary training program, Dynamic Presentation Skills.
“I met Cecilia over 10 years ago when she was invited to be our trainer for public speaking. From the very beginning, Cecilia stood out with her unique approach and mindset, which set her training program apart from the others. Even today, I continue to utilize some of Cecilia’s techniques as a form of self-coaching. Her ability to heal and transform people’s minds truly feels like magic. This is what I have personally experienced with Cecilia, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life.”
“It is impossible to articulate all the ways that Cecilia impacted our lives during the RISE and Lumina Spark projects. The RISE program that she put together and hosted thrived on and inspired all of us to face our individual challenges and approach problems as opportunities for growth, learning, and bonding together to overcome. The RISE program introduced new, creative ideas, creating massive added value and positively impacting the entire business and upcoming leaders. Cecilia’s ability to break down boundaries and create strong relationships, enhanced by our Lumina Spark profiles, helped us achieve results and bonds that will endure. I learned so many new things from her this year; she has had the biggest impact on innovation in my life and many staff members. I’m so grateful for my experience in RISE. She was a leader, mentor, confidant, and inspiration to us all, with huge visions to create valuable relationships and strengths across the organization that will forever impact our lives. The success of the entire RISE program was innovated by her; her actions speak loudly for themselves.” – , ,
