WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Wendy Wong is an excellent coach. In the subtlest way she drove me to look at myself retrospectively, to tap on my strengths to see if it matches what I am actually seeking for. She guided me towards creating a matrix that would address my needs and desires against my strengths, traits and capability. She also ushered me into a reality check which made lots of sense to me in making my career choices. A coach like her can make a meaningful difference in helping you make the right choices for yourself!
S. Periasamy, General Manager o MCEF Malaysia
Wendy is very focused on what she does. What I like about her approach is that she exceeds expected outcomes through a process that encourages clarification and builds alignment. She is very competent & engages stakeholders well. She also uses her coaching skills to get autonomy & accountability. Once she accepts an assignment, she is 100% committed.
That's the reason when Wendy accepted the role as Chairman the International Coaching Week 2019 (ICW 2019), it was the MOST SUCCESSFUL ever breaking new grounds and milestones.
This is one of the major reasons ICF Malaysia, FIRST-TIME IN 18 YEARS, was globally awarded an HONOREE in ICF Chapter Recognition event held on 28 Oct 2020!
As the ICF President (2108-2020), I am delighted with this outcome and I would not hesitate to recommend Wendy’s services. Her work ethics and quality is outstanding.

TESTIMONIALS
Wendy is my coach from a peer coaching programme. Knowing Wendy's years of experience in leadership position from global enterprises, I look to her as my sounding board for both business and personal development related issues. As her coachee and a fellow coach, I must say that Wendy is definitely one of the finest coaches I have ever come across. There is an incredible calming quality about Wendy, which I believe comes from her inscrutable ability to listen deeply, so deeply she is able get you grounded instead of fluttering about. And from there, she would draw out key insights and perspectives that many coaches would have overlooked. Wendy is definitely a rising star and a force to be reckoned with in the coaching world.

I worked with Wendy at Mars Inc from 2001 until 2012. During this tenure Wendy changed from a Finance role into an HR role. In this role her true passion shone through. She is an active listener and is able to coach and direct people in the right direction accordingly through self-discovery and consultation. She is very familiar with Myers Briggs, Lominger, Gallup Q12 Survey and Creating and Managing High Performance Teams. Congrats Wendy with going on your own now by doing what you like and do best. I know you will succeed.

I worked with Wendy during my time in Mars. She was one of a few of my wonderful managers. She was strict, but caring to me. I learned from her a lot, from her working style to her leadership. The experience from that period of my life is really precious on my career development. If I have a chance to work with her again, I definitely will take it.
