“The BEST THING I ever did for myself, and I’m 200% recommending it to everyone!”

“Working with Aska has been transformational for me professionally and personally. She was able to teach me the skills to navigate a number of difficult situations during our coaching sessions, and I have been able to build upon these skills after the program ended. I appreciate her direct style and equal emphasis on self-discovery and actionable advice during our conversations. Our time together has undoubtedly made me a better, more confident leader and person.”

“Starting my new life as an ex-pat wife while COVID hit the world, my life had literally turned upside down where I could not go back home or meet new people, mainly staying at home sheltered and afraid. Through Aska’s sessions, I found myself transform bit by bit each week, and now feel a sense of renewed self-confidence, connection, and joy, as I have the strength every day to step out bravely into the world. The deep dives and questioning of my limiting beliefs and realigning my relationship to myself and others have been instrumental on this journey. I am ever so grateful to continue to find such a sense of hope and possibilities through our work together. ”

“I very quickly came to trust Aska as she has a very engaging style, and I felt we created a supportive and trusting relationship. She pushed me, and I thrived and gained a greater understanding of Japanese culture and insight into their different work styles. Working with Aska was extremely beneficial as the results speak for themselves. ”

“Just do it :) I’ve told everyone about you! ”

“Aska is an incredible human first, and brings a unique personal perspective to help find inspiration in the areas of your life you’re looking to enhance. This point-of-view made greater by her experience as a coach offers a unique chance at getting to like the way you do things. ”

“I’ve worked with four life/executive coaches in the past, and Aska is the only one who helped me identify and integrate Asian culture and Filipino qualities into my leadership style. It was very powerful for me because I was missing the female Asian perspective. She helped me tremendously to be more confident in being spirited and dynamic, rooted in the Filipino’s strength in embracing the joy in life.”

“To be able to journey between the past, present, and future while putting realistic goals and visions in place has been one of the most significant benefits of working with Aska. Her coaching approach is very humanistic as she is fully engaged, natural, and warm, making it easy to trust, open up, and release fears and doubts to move forward. If you’re looking to change, grow, or simply get an extra boost in life or work, working with a professional coach like Aska will give you the acceleration necessary for anyone!”

“I love that you are honest, do not beat around the bush, and meticulously curate what I needed for my practice to grow and expand. I really felt that my staff’s needs were listened to and met. As an owner of a very young business, my team and I looked for answers and solutions, not vague suggestions. You gave us tangible solutions that could be implemented in everyday life to make ourselves work together and better as a team. You created a safe space for each of us to talk about our struggles where we could be honest with each other and resolve any misunderstandings. At an office of only women, it can get very emotional!”

“I feel so grateful to have met Aska. She is an outstanding coach who is friendly, kind, patient, and a phenomenal listener. Each session has been powerful and has allowed me to open up without judgment in a safe space to express myself and grow. She has encouraged me to understand myself and become aware of what is holding me back, and discover parts of me I hadn’t yet uncovered. Together, we have found ways to gain clarity on my goals and align to my true authentic self while facing my self saboteurs. These life-changing sessions have given me a new perspective on who I am, much more empowered and aware. Aska is a true inspiration. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has the opportunity to work with her! ”

“Working with Asuka helped me grow and gave me a deeper and better appreciation for myself. I’m able to communicate with more authenticity and flow. It allowed me to see my role in a clearer sense.”

“I had no idea of the power of coaching until I decided to work with Aska. I’m so happy I did, as it has been an extraordinary transformative experience. We all have our darkness or issues we hide from ourselves, and she helped address these challenges in a kind and easy way. I feel much more empowered and in control of my emotions and how I show up daily. I rarely feel depleted or lethargic and face every day with a sense of renewed energy and fulfillment, which continues to grow exponentially. I even have the time and mental space to be creative and do more handcrafting during my free time. I look forward to what our time together will further bring forth in my life and business.”

“I met Aska through a friend, and she has been instrumental in helping re-shape my “new” me. As a French-Vietnamese living in Asia for the last decade, my journey has been about finding who I truly am and understanding the core values that make me the person I am today and who I want to be. Through her coaching sessions, we have openly discussed key topics about work and personal life, seeking answers within myself in a safe space. I am grateful she came into my life at this precise moment. It has been an intense journey where you simply have to remain honest. I embrace it, thanks to her help and guidance!”

“A solution-driven life coach with customized tools to get you where you want to be. ”

“I would encourage leaders to turn up and take sessions with Aska. There is no one I know that would not benefit from working with a coach like her. Having worked with high performers and top industry leaders for many years, I understand the inclusion and width that Aska provides would simply make these leaders do better! ”

“Aska’s coaching was extremely effective to enhance my business and creating a rewarding personal life. The ELI assessment was so effective to uncover my energy shifts during stress, and immediately taught me how to become more present as a leader. I am now confident, conscious, and an unstoppable leader, all while living a joyful life by positively influencing those around myself!”

“The benefits of getting coached by Aska were learning to let go, use energy in more positive and conducive manners, and gain more job and Self-satisfaction. As a result, I now work easier and productively with others and communicate more effectively. I have been sharing with some of my known ones about the impact of coaching. The easiness of expressing our thoughts without withholding, along with the science behind making things more impactful alone, is a valuable experience I recommend to everyone.”

“I love you Aska! You are just amazing. Your energy, your presence, and your dead-on analysis of where we are, gave me so much courage and support. I wanted to be authentic to my culture and heritage when leading my team. So I jumped at the opportunity, and got so much more than I had expected out of your program!”

“When I was promoted into a new role, I found myself suddenly directing a large portfolio of clients, as well as direct reports. Through Aska’s methodical, direct yet flexible coaching style, my work situation improved, and I confidently grew into my role. I found the whole process profoundly valuable and discussions with Aska often resulted in my reconsideration of various impactful situations.”

“Aska has a brilliant way of asking enlightening questions that make you see things you couldn’t see before. Her sharp listening skills help move you forward immediately to formulate a plan. Her coaching sessions helped jump-start the professional change I’ve been craving, and I’m excited to continue my journey with my awesome coach!”

“While the challenges of working for a foreign company were more than the language barrier, navigating the cultural differences with being flexible enough to earn my place were things I couldn’t have done without Aska. Working with her made me realize many were due to my unintentional self-restraint and helped clear out the fog to focus. She helped place me in a much more constructive position, resulting in a promotion at the end of this transformation!”

“Working with you has changed my experience with myself. I realize that it all starts with me, I decide, I define, I move. For so long I saw myself playing a background role in my own life, waiting for some unknown author to write what I would do and say. After working with you, I was empowered to take the pen and begin to write my own story. I can gracefully own all parts of my story, playing the protagonist and at times the antagonist. I own both roles, both experiences make up who I am today. Your coaching and questions got me to see myself authentically. Thank you for that.”

“As a foreigner working in Japan, I needed a better way to understand and overcome the cultural barriers to be an effective leader. Aska’s insights helped me become aware to actively use the right tools at the appropriate time. Her work has allowed me to bring out my most authentic self and deal with all matters peacefully.”

“I would say that you are someone who can really help achieve goals, and the most intelligent, well-rounded, worldly, caring, knowledgable, insightful coach! I always have your words and advice in the back of my mind and felt lifted-up after each session. Your words resonate in my mind and continue to make an impact to help me be more mindful of how I move forward in my life. ”

“My goal was to take control of my next career rather than fate decide again. Aska would often ask to consider viewing things from a different angle allowing me to reevaluate or reframe something entirely. Her interactive sessions combined with tangible homework, furthered each session and kept everything in alignment. She was invaluable for reformulating my thoughts into a clear and concise manner. Thank you! ”

“In completing the program, I am better able to integrate my cultural identity into my leadership style, and most importantly, show up, unapologetically, as myself, highlighting my Asian-American identity and differences as opposed to adhering to my old patterns of being passive, quiet, and wanting to blend in. If you are an Asian-American woman professional thinking about enrolling, I can’t recommend her program enough! Aska is an experienced coach who understands the challenges of Asian women professionals. She reflected on valuable insights and approaches and provided encouragement and support, which was needed and appreciated. ”

“Four years ago, I entered crossroads in my life and desperately needed to leave my comfort zone to embrace this new chapter. Aska’s guidance not only helped prepare for my first visit to Japan but forced me to break out of my shell and embrace a level of confidence I was never aware I had within me. My life has completely changed thanks to her never-ending support and encouragement. I now understand my potential, and I am eternally grateful!”

“You have guided me through the most challenging time of my life, and I feel confident about where I am at today. Through our coaching sessions, I have become more of a leader in life instead of taking a backseat. I’ve been able to take care of things faster and make decisions based on my best interests. I want to thank you for being there for me and guiding me through this challenging year.”

“I loved working with Aska. Her laser-sharp and intuitive approach were very stimulating, and she facilitated a much-needed mindset shift by providing a safe and caring space. Aska is highly qualified, her insights are right on the money, and if you want to make a positive change in your life, I strongly recommend working with her! ”

“This Leadership Program provides a support and welcoming environment that allowed personal and professional growth within a tight-knit community. This programs helped me to find clarity in my communication and leadership style.”

“I am so glad that I signed up for this Leadership Coaching Program. Over the past few weeks, I gained a deeper understanding of who I am as a person and clarity of my future direction. I now have a strong foundation for continued personal development. Thank you for starting this program! ”

“The greatest gift from Aska was learning the importance to pay attention to my own voice. I found compassion and gratitude where I once felt judgment and despair. I learned where I was taking others’ responsibilities and released the stress from that burden. The results are truly enduring, and I continue to build upon them with confidence. I feel POWERFUL!!”
