Meet your coach: Dr Pat
Hi there, I'm Pat! I am an expat living in Dublin, originally from Taiwan.
I have a PhD in science communications and worked in research, marketing, and tech for 12+ years. I understand the challenges of going to a foreign country, building a new life, and making a career. I want to help those who are on the same journey.
In both my professional and personal life, coaching has helped me manage change, get out of my comfort zone, and pursue goals that aligns with my values.
I believe that we hold the best answers within ourselves. With Powerful Questions Coaching, I want to empower you to achieve your potential.
How Can I Help You?
My mission is to help you become the best version of yourself. My coaching style is open, curious, and empathetic. During a coaching session, I will guide you through goal setting, assessing obstacles and ways forward.
I offer coaching in the following areas:
-
Life goal setting
-
Confidence building
-
Communication skills
-
Career goal setting
-
Career progression

Why Powerful Questions
Powerful questions are at the core of my coaching sessions. By asking powerful questions, such as: what's stopping me from living the life I want? What am I really afraid of? What do I need to drop in order for me to prioritise?
With Powerful Questions Coaching, you will unlock deep awareness and new insight. You will be more present, explore new ways to overcome obstacles, and be empowered to change.
