Before
You send a few lines: how the week went, what you want to talk about. I read them first, so we don’t lose the first ten minutes.
MinhKhôi
- Listen.
- Straight talk.
I spent six years in HR, listening to a lot of people explain why they wanted to quit. Now I sit on the other side: helping them find a reason to move forward.

Walking alongside you while you choose your own way.
Why I became a coach
In my fourth year in HR I sat in an exit interview with the best engineer on the floor. He said: “I don’t hate the company. I just don’t know where I’m going.” That sentence stayed with me for years.
I started studying coaching and took my first clients in the evenings, after work. In 2018 I left HR to coach full time, in Ho Chi Minh City and online.
Who I work with
Most of my clients are professionals aged 25 to 45: people who want a new career, managers who have just been promoted, small business owners carrying too much. I coach in Vietnamese and in English, so some clients are overseas Vietnamese or foreigners living in Vietnam.

A session with me
You bring what’s been on your mind. I bring questions, a silence long enough to think in, and one small thing to do before next time.
Four principles
Confidential
What you say stays in the session. No recordings, nothing passed on, not even to whoever referred you.
No judgement
There are no silly questions and no goal too small.
You decide
I ask and give straight feedback, but the choice is always yours.
Measured in action
Every session ends with one concrete step, and the next one starts with it.
One coaching session
During · 60 minutes
A video call, or a quiet café. You do most of the talking; I ask, sum up, and point out where you’re going in circles.
After
The same day you get a summary and one thing to do. Midweek I check in once by message.
What coaching is, and isn’t
Coaching is
- A structured conversation aimed at something you want to do.
- For people whose mental health is okay and who want to move forward.
- You set the goal; the coach keeps the pace and asks the hard questions.
Coaching isn’t
- Not psychotherapy: no diagnosis, no treatment.
- If you are depressed, have lasting anxiety or thoughts of harming yourself, please see a doctor or a mental health professional first. I can help you find the right place.
- Not financial or legal advice.
In clients’ words
He never gave me an answer. But after every session I knew exactly what to do the next day.
Thanh Tâm · Chief accountant · Change Course It was the first time I said it out loud. Once I heard it, it was far less frightening.
Đức Huy · Software engineer · Confidence Five people from five different fields, and every week I recognised myself in someone else’s story.
Mai Phương · Bakery owner · Rebalance
