You don't need more advice. You need better questions.
An unusually human approach to coaching for leaders, founders, and creators navigating what’s next.
Whether you’re stepping into a new role, building a new venture, or finding a new way to lead the one you already have, I help you slow down, think clearly, and make meaningful decisions that can actually hold up in real life.
Create a path that sustains both your mission and your life.
Welcome
I'm Heather Wong. I'm glad you're here. I've been coaching for twelve years, long enough to know the most important thing I bring is deep presence and true partnership. I'm an ICF-credentialed coach (ACC), trained in Presence-Based Coaching©, human development, yoga and somatic practice, with an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instructional Design.
How I work
Most coaches work at one level: the person or the system. I work with both, because I’ve lived in both.
I stay with the complexity long enough for the real question to emerge. Often, it’s underneath the question you came in with. Then I hand it back to you.
“My coaching session with Heather was transformative. She helped me center my thoughts and gently guided me toward the heart of what was really going on. Her calm, grounded presence made it easy to quiet the mental noise and focus on what mattered. After just one session, I felt a deep sense of clarity I had been searching for months.”
In a single session, clients often leave with more clarity about what matters, what’s getting in the way, and what they want to do next. I hear things like, “Wow. That was really helpful,” or, “That is a really good question.”
Those moments can sound simple. They aren’t. Being seen, having someone stay curious with you, and being asked the question you haven’t been able to ask yourself can change what becomes possible.
That kind of space is rare.
“Working with Heather has been truly transformative. As I stepped into a new leadership role, her calm and supportive presence created a safe space where I could openly share my challenges. What truly sets Heather apart is her ability to help you uncover the answers within yourself. She provides tailored insights that empower you to tap into your own potential.”
And the work has to hold up outside the coaching session. Leadership gets tested when the pressure is on. I want the clarity you find here to stay with you when you’re back in the room, making decisions, navigating conflict, leading people, and living your actual life.
“After our session, I’ve made more progress in the last two days — working fewer hours — than I did in the last two weeks.”
Who this is for
You might be here if:
You're the one everyone relies on
You've outgrown the structure or role you're in
You're leading through change while privately unraveling
You're making decisions from depletion instead of clarity
You're staying in your role, and you can't keep leading it this way
You're preparing for an exit and realizing it's as much about identity as finances
You're coming back from a rupture, a loss or a season that cracked something open, and you know the old way won't hold
Who I’ve coached
Labels are tricky. My more expansive clients find them limiting. My more precise clients find them too broad. And my clients working through imposter syndrome don't feel like they get to claim them at all. So here's who I've actually coached:
Founders & organizational leaders: entrepreneurs, small-business owners, CEOs, executive directors, and nonprofit leaders
Coaches: career, executive, instructional, and mentor coaches, including coaches seeking mentor coaching
Education & learning: educators, instructional leaders, team leads, administrators, and directors
Professionals & leaders: lawyers, healthcare professionals, consultants
Creative fields: writers, musicians, and multimedia artists
Academia & research: policy writers, researchers, and PhD candidates
Technology & data: software engineers, analysts, and data scientists
Most of my clients are parents and community leaders balancing meaningful work with the realities of family, caregiving, and community life. Many are neurodivergent, including clients with ADHD, AuDHD, and autism. I often see our work create space for people to make more aligned career moves, whether that looks like stepping into a new role, pursuing a promotion, or making a larger career transition.
I also coach groups and teams, mostly in coaching, education, and nonprofit settings.
