This is highly personalized 1-on-1 coaching. You will have space to be honest and unedited, experiment, change your mind, think and imagine freely, and be completely yourself — all necessary conditions for learning and creating your best work. We start with where you are, get clear about your goals, and tailor our work to your unique internal and external landscape.

I am your thought partner and honest mirror. You will be accepted and honored for being exactly who you are right now, and at the same time held to your highest vision for your growth.

I have worked with leaders from a diverse range of organizations in both the corporate and non-profit sectors. Recent clients include: The RAND Corporation; Lionsgate; The Bridgespan Group; University of California, Berkeley; The David and Lucile Packard Foundation; Morrison & Foerster, LLP; Roblox; and Common Sense Media.

Executive coaching engagements generally take place over 6-12 months, and can include a 360 assessment.

Hyeon-Ju is an outstanding coach and I grew so much personally and professionally over the duration of our coaching sessions. She created an atmosphere of trust, comfort and courage that enabled me to be open, and to discuss the real issues keeping me awake at night. I particularly recommend her gentle yet firm/direct coaching approach for logical people, for women, and for leaders.

My sessions with Hyeon-Ju helped me learn to trust myself and to be a more effective leader. I understand my true motivation for meaningful work, and how to incorporate this into my career. The powerful insights I gained will stay with me.
