Youth
Secondary School
We have worked with 8 secondary schools in coaching their Form 4 to 6 students. A pre coaching questionnaire was administered with help of teachers to identify possible issues that students would like to focus on during the coaching sessions over around 4 to 6 months.
我以前很緊張，喜歡把事情控制住，如果不能按照我的計畫和標準完成事情，我會覺得壓力很大。教練挑戰我的觀點信念，探索的過程讓我了解多了自己，教練這才問我是否有其他方式來處理自己的計畫。然後我嘗試不同的時間管理。我意識到了自己的局限，如果這種僵化的態度延伸到我如何看待我的學習成績以及未來的職業生涯，我覺得我以前的做法會越來越行不通。我學會了在不同的優先事項上更加放鬆及有靈活性。
教練會支援我尋找方法來提高實現目標的機會。我變得清楚自己是誰和自己的力量。我對支持我成長的特質有了更多的反思。我變得更加自信，以及走出我的舒適區和嘗試新事物。我還注意到，我在迎接挑戰時變得更加積極。
我真的對我們所建立互信的關係感到震驚。一開始我覺得很擔心，沒有勇氣敞開自己。我的教練似乎瞭解我的需要，她對與我一起走過這段旅程有一種強烈的堅持。她沒有告訴我應該怎麼做，但我覺得我並不孤單，我可以問自己，在這種情況下，我的教練會怎麼說，這樣我就可以面對自己的恐懼。這一年我遇到了很多挑戰，特別是在學校內外的比賽中，我看到自己變得更加勇敢，開始相信自己的力量。
當我開始加入這個教練項目時，我對向一個陌生人公開我的想法和我的家庭狀況感到擔憂。我不善於表達自己。與陌生人交談更是難上加難。我發現我的教練非常關注我說話的內容和動機。當我和那些有更多生活經驗的人他們分享我的困難和挑戰時，那些人通常給我一個很長的教導和指引。然而我的教練卻以不同的方式與我相處。所以我覺得自己被認定，鼓勵和支持到，我願意分享我的挑戰以及我的想法。我在與周圍人的溝通上有了突破，也對自己的未來有了清晰的認知。
當我們開始的時候，我是如此的害羞以及缺乏自信。我可以說，我的能量非常低，當他們和我談話時，我覺得我可以把人悶到睡著。我不是很有活力和自我表現力。但我的教練非常善於觀察，知道我如何與我的內部狀態聯繫和調節上。我現在可以更自由地溝通，更有活力。我可以用不同的角度來看待挑戰，我可以思考選擇以及如何才能成功。
除了通過這個過程變得更加自信之外，我發現我還學會了傾聽自己內心的聲音。當我面臨挑戰的時候。我內心會有一個自己不夠好的對話，我很害怕失敗。我的教練會挑戰我的想法和行動力，以及我開始時的 願景。堅持是我發展自己的另一個領域，因為我有更強大的動力，不會放棄和屈服於我內心的恐懼聲音。
Institute of Vocation Education (IVE)
We have worked with 3 IVE schools via their student development office. The students mainly need coaching support in boosting confidence, career planning and personal development.
加入這個教練項目，我本想改善與家人的關係，但在這個過程中發生了很多事情。我有相當多的負面情緒，雖然教練不會告訴我,我應該怎麼做。在教練引導我看見了我的盲點後，我覺得我有更多的選擇，我可以好好處理這些情況以及我自己的情緒。我感到被支持和被理解而變得有力量。
SoCO Youth Program
We have worked with SoCO for a coaching-based self-discovery camp. There were 40 students who were going on to their various university studies. In the 3 days 2 nights camp, they were challenged on their values, choice of identity, team spirit, emotion management and future plans.
Rising Sun Youth Program
An NGO, Institute for Integrated Rual Development (IRD), has recruited 40 students from various schools and they were paired with our coaches for a two-year coaching journey. In the process, the issues could be related to their personal development, attitude towards studying, relationship with family and friends, and career choices.
Most of the coaching sessions are done over zoom or physical meetings. In addition, we have physical outings with these coachees. Below is photo from one of the events.
Universities
A coaching program was launched with the support of the Student Development Office from Hong Kong University and other tertiary education institutes to recuit students who have personal issues. They worked with coaches to resolve personal, study or career issues.
Parent
Parent coaching with Society for Community Organization (SoCO)
During COVID, we initiated a program to support parents who are locked down at home with their children. From 2020 up to 2023, we have worked with SoCO to train their parent members. Each training had four phrases that last over 4 months targeting the attitude of parenting, emotions management and communications between parents and their children. We trained over 400 parents with positive feedback over this time.
我學會了怎麼跟我兒子溝通，首先自己的心態要好，用對方的語言去跟他溝通，他就聽明白，不要用自己強硬的態度，同時，多聆聽對方的訊息。重有就是自己有了新的信念，孩子會有自己的想法，我的想法未必適合孩子，要多聆聽，做到雙贏，我不想做個權威型媽咪，給多點愛，我覺得很重要的是母愛，可以有愛又給他一些力量支持他，讓他在生活中可以堅強。很感謝老師這段疫情時間上課。謝謝你。
學會了跟兒子溝通，大家溝通不了時，學會放鬆自己，接受自己，用我的訊息表達自己的觀點，然後大家溝通，不能以權力壓對方，讓對方表達想法，讓對方決定想怎樣做，給對方獨立做事。我很感謝老師的培訓，學到很多，學會放鬆及表達我的訊息。
最受益是溝通及關係好了，也學會了表達自己的需求，表達自己心聲，也要聽聽對方的需求及心聲，這樣的溝通方式有效些。跟孩子聊天也多了，而且孩子又不需要那麼怕我，現在覺得關係也不錯。還有很大的受益，大家訂立一個協調方式，大家每天去分配家中工作，大家都會愉快一點，我就身心都舒暢了。之前經常發火，大家都覺得面阻阻，吵完了之後，大家都不開心，現在相處比較開心，和什麼事都可以聊。感謝老師。
學到很多，最好是留意番自己的需求，因為做了媽媽之後，我發覺，原來好多時都只顧及小朋友的需求，好多時都忽略咗自己。那需求裡面即係內心的想法，入邊會很多忽略了的。譬如自己的身體健康呀，各方面搞得自己很累很辛苦，現在我就發覺原來自己也是有需求的，不是純粹自己是一個媽媽；自己也是一個人，自己也需要放鬆及休息。還有一得著，是溝通，我覺得最受益的，用一個我的訊息去表達想法或需求，我就覺得和女兒的關係和諧了許多。同時女兒會看到我的感受，她自己也會懂得去關心媽媽。
身爲三個孩子的媽媽，透過努力學習鍛練的過程，最先治癒的是我自己，不再陷入育兒焦慮與內耗，心態變得從容平和。這份成長也慢慢滋養著孩子，讓親子相處更融洽，整個家庭都充滿溫暖與安穩。現在更加在成為國際認可的專業教練路上，渴望支持其他家長們成長。
感恩2020年遇上熊老師並得以跟隨她學習家長教練課程。老師的課堂著重體驗式教學，過程中令自己成長的同時也支持身邊的人一起成長！成長中的我不再盯著孩子的問題，而是去理解孩子問題背後的＂需求＂，和孩子有效溝通，化解衝突，親子關係更融洽，成為一位名副其實的＂叻媽＂。
Parent coaching-based training for PTAs:
In 2025, we have worked with three primary school’s Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) for a coaching-based training program. Again, we focused on their attitude of parenting, emotion management and communication between parents and their children.
