Ifen Chiang Gyselinck

Board Certified Leadership and Wellbeing Coach with 20+ years of leadership, consulting, and clinician experiences. ICF-PCC, NBC-HWC. MSc. MBA.

In my two decades of corporate and coaching experiences, I have supported people at all levels of organizations to :

(at the personal level) increase more confidence, build more resilience, have more self-awareness, shape leadership style, manage stress and reactivity, have more empathy and authenticity, better work-life balance, set up career goals, create personal career and life visions, make conscious choices, change old habits, create wellbeing habits, self-compassion, and get intentional about daily activities.

(at the team level) build more connections, manage high-performing teams and high-value-creating teams, create alignment and synergy, manage difficult conversations, give constructive feedback, accelerate progress, and enable transformation that changes behaviors and drives exponential results.

(at the system level) clarify direction and destination, unleash potential and resources, and remove obstacles.

My coaching has been supporting many leaders to successfully manage areas including stakeholder management, political savviness, strategic planning, execution excellence, organizational alignment, business transformation, and cultivating a growth mindset for possibilities.

Through our holistic coaching sessions, you will feel empowered to become your best selves in every aspect. You'll gain insights into your current leadership style, its effectiveness, and strategies to refine it for future success. My coaching draws from Adult Development Theory, Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Neuroscience, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and the Leadership Circle Profile (LCP).

With 20+ years of corporate work experience in Fortune 500 companies before becoming a professional coach, I held various leadership roles at Global, regional (EMEA and APAC), and country (India, China) levels. I led various functions including Commercial Excellence, Sales, Marketing, and Learning and Development.

I'm also a devoted Mind-Body practitioner and art enthusiast. I engage in practices like Yoga, meditation, piano playing, composition, and painting. Additionally, I enjoy various water sports such as kayaking, sailing, scuba, and free-diving.

  • I got clarity about my motivations (and de-motivations) about my career. It was so helpful to be able to speak freely about what I really care about so I can get more comfortable in taking the road less traveled. Thank you, Ifen!
