When leading feels heavy and unsustainable, you don't need more advice. You need better questions.
Coaching for executives, founders, and creators at the threshold of what's next: a new role, a new venture, or a new way of leading the one you already have. 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 eleven years, long enough to know the most important thing I bring is deep presence and true partnership. I'm not here to hand you answers. I'm here to ask the questions that make your own answers impossible to ignore. I'm an ICF-certified coach (ACC), trained in Presence-Based Coaching 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 at both, because I've lived at both. I stay with the complexity until the real question surfaces. Not the one you came in with but the one underneath it. Then I hand it back to you.
And the work has to be embodied to last. This is leadership that holds when the pressure is actually on.
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 not leaving your role — but you can't keep leading it this way
You're preparing for an exit and realizing it's as much about identity as it is about finances
You're coming back from a rupture — a loss, a season that cracked something open — and know the old way won't hold
Is this for you?
I coach executives, founders, and creators at the threshold of what's next. But 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 instead of labels, here's a look at who I've actually coached:
Education: educators, team leads, administrators, and directors
Small businesses & nonprofits: founders, CEOs, and executive directors
Academia: researchers and PhD candidates
Creative fields: writers, musicians, and multimedia artists
Healthcare: nurses, speech-language pathologists, doctors, and administrators
Technology: analysts and data scientists
Coaching: career, executive, and instructional coaches
And across every field: people moving between careers or into new roles entirely. Many of my clients report promotions or aligned transitions shortly after we work together.
I also coach groups, mostly in education and nonprofit settings.
Don't see yourself here? Apply anyway — the application is where we find out. And if you'd rather talk first, schedule a call.
How I work
-
One-on-one coaching, presence-based and somatic, for people carrying real weight. Six-month engagements, biweekly virtual sessions, support between them.
-
For teams and groups who want more than a workshop. I coach groups and design gatherings where the real conversation surfaces — and what develops there holds after everyone goes back to work.
-
For leadership teams and community groups seeking more than a team-building exercise. Custom retreats and facilitation that restore trust, surface conflict, and build shared purpose.
