My name is Shalini. I coach teenagers to overcome their self doubt and face life and academic challenges, making parenting stress-free.

My deepest sympathies for anyone impacted by the recent fire at the Wang F*k Court apartment complex in Hong Kong. My heart goes out to all of you.

My name is Shalini, and I am a Career and Change Coach. My goal is to help teenagers and women build resilience and thrive through life’s transitions.

My coaching journey began with my own life experiences. As a trailing spouse, I’ve lived in India, Belgium, and Hong Kong, adapting my career every step of the way.

But the real change occurred when my children became teenagers. Suddenly, traditional parenting methods stopped working, and I found myself unable to connect with the people I wanted most to support.

Coaching helped me rebuild those bridges, and ignited a passion for helping others do the same.

Today, I coach teens facing academic and emotional challenges, as well as women navigating career changes, relocations, or personal reinvention.

I also guide parents with practical strategies that help them better understand their child, aiding their family to change and grow together.

My philosophy is to coach the whole person, including their emotions, body, and mind, because real transformation happens when we how we feel, think, and act are aligned.

I’m a PCC (ICF) and SP (EMCC) credentialed coach with an MBA and 12+ years in HR. My work has been featured on Tickikids.com and LinkedIn, and I regularly conduct workshops for schools and communities across Hong Kong. In my spare time I enjoy experimenting with cooking, meeting new people, sharing stories, and travelling to learn about different cultures!

A TRAILING SPOUSE'S LIFE ISN'T ALL GLAMOUR

Following your spouse to a new, exciting country can seem like a dream come true.

But a trailing spouse feels a lot more than just excitement and happiness.

Below the glamorous surface, they can feel:
* The loss of their professional identity
* The loneliness of losing their old culture and starting over in a new one
* The guilt of not contributing financially to the household
* The pressure to adapt quickly and "make it work"

If you're a trailing spouse and you've felt any of these emotions, you're not alone.

Travelling spouses have it so easy - don't they?

You may think relocation sounds glamorous, but behind the excitement lies a different story: one of identity loss, career breaks, and the emotional weight of starting over.

CHANGE IS ABOUT LOOKING FORWARD.

In the midst of a transition, it's easy to feel like you're swimming against the current.

It can feel like the change is going to tear down what you already have.

This framing causes transitions to feel stressful and frightening.

Instead, try reframing your thoughts about change to focus on the future.

Change isn't about battling yours old ways, but building a new, better life.

Look forward instead of back - and you might like what you see!
