What our customers say?
Asian Australian Consultant
‘‘I signed up for the coaching program without knowing what to expect, all I knew was that I was feeling a bit lost in my career. The coaching session were very well structured and helped me understand what I want from my career. By uncovering more about my own values, I gained clarity about what sort of work I enjoy most and why - it just made sense. I would like to thank you AAOP and my coach for this excellent program, for their time and commitment. For me this was an valuable experience, and I came back with practical and tools and techniques for stress management and planning for short and longer term career goals.’’

As Asian Australians, we might have been influenced by certain beliefs that could hinder our overall productivity in life. For instance, the AA mindset may lead us to feel ‘not good enough’, frequently overthink and self doubt, which may result in delayed decision making. The primary goal in this area is to foster a growth mindset, confront limiting beliefs, and establish strategies for success in multicultural work environments.
-
Equip you with strategies to navigate identity-related challenges, including bias, stereotypes, and cultural influences on emotional responses. Foster resilience in diverse professional settings by developing self-awareness and effective emotion management techniques.

We also emphasize practical changes and actions. We assist you in developing strategies and habits to implement sustainable and consistent inner growth. Achieve professional success in diverse settings through purposeful actions, goal setting, skill development, and tailored to your identity and goals.

FAQs
WE are not your typical skill-based program
While our program does not focus on skill-based training, such as resume writing, interview skills, and job search techniques, we do acknowledge the importance of addressing cultural influences that may adversely affect the job search process. Yet, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges individuals may face and equip them with strategies to navigate cultural barriers effectively.
We are not a clinical program
Though this is not a clinical program, we are not running counseling sessions to heal childhood trauma. However, we recognize the importance of how we are raised and parented, and how our cultural values and beliefs were developed. We have the expertise to ask the right questions and hold space for strong emotions when they are brought up. Additionally, we work with a network of Asian Australian Clinical Psychologists for referrals.
We don’t change who you are
This program isn't about urging you to change who you are, to conform to certain ideals or suppress aspects of yourself. We don't dictate phrases like "Be the first one to speak!" or "Show more confidence!" Instead, we guide you on a journey to embrace your cultural values and beliefs. We highlight how these aspects empower you, turning them into strengths that shape your behaviors. Through this process, we empower you to step into a space of reassurance and confidence, enabling you to advocate for yourself and cultivate a newfound sense of personal power.
