"Amalu Coaching was amazing to have as a guest facilitator for their workshop about healthy relationships. The coach was professional, personable, and engaging with our group participants. I enjoyed her framework focused on safety, risk assessment, and well-being.

With her lived experience and coaching skills, the presentation was not only informative, but it was also relatable and she is a natural in maintaining a safe virtual space for our Filipinx/a/o community. She was also open to feedback from both participants and organizers, which speaks to her willingness to learn.

It truly was a pleasure to work with Amalu, and I am hoping for more collaborations in the future."

"As an experienced educator, advocate and community organizer, I went through my days with confidence and consistency. However, in the back of mind, I knew I was capable of much more as a leader and changemaker.

And then I met Kathy. She brought attention to the blindspots I, as a leader, had avoided and overlooked for years. She was especially effective at unpacking the impact culture, ethnicity and gender had had on my leadership and collaborative skills.

My time with Kathy was life-changing. I now have a deeper sense of courage and fierceness as a leader of color– exactly what I needed to continue pushing forward during these times we're living in."

“Cherry is intuitive, inviting, and fearless. Her energy is infectious, and her ability to ask meaningful questions honed our work on revamping my resume and creating my job search strategy.

Cherry also has a wonderful way of providing guidance while giving you space to figure out what you need to do next. Our sessions were incredibly pragmatic and hands on as we worked on my materials, strategized about which jobs postings I would consider, and write my cover letters.

My sense of confidence and readiness for whatever comes my way has increased immeasurably during my work with Cherry! I also know that I can reach out to Cherry for additional help as I continue to make changes in my professional path.

She’s my secret weapon!”

“Jenna's positive and bubbly demeanor is a tremendous asset to any team. All of the clients who interacted with her were drawn to her and adored her. She made everyone feel welcome in the large-group calls she facilitated, and was very skillful in working with small groups as well.

My client population is all women who lost mothers, most during childhood and adolescence, and she was always sensitive and graceful with their needs, especially with those who needed their stories to be witnessed and held gently.

She had a very natural instinct for handling sensitive matters as well as working with clients whose coping strategies developed as a result of early trauma. I found her to be very intuitive with regard to the topic, both from professional and personal points of view.”

“Monumental shifts since Amalu Coaching has been supporting us. Much better in our home. I started noticing that the small things my wife cared about matter, and she doesn’t need to ask me anymore.

The homework in the sessions helped defuse a situation in a recent argument, and the framework helped to identify the causes of why trust, respect, and healthy communication was broken down.

My wife looks forward to the coaching sessions. I appreciate the outside, external perspective outside of our family and friends.

We're recommending Amalu to all our friends.”

"I went into coaching skeptical of the benefits it could provide for me, feeling that I was already self aware enough about my strengths and weaknesses. It was a pleasant surprise when I started working with my coach to notice that the coaching sessions made me more intentionally aware of real life examples and gave me shared language to explain my actions and reactions.

As sessions went on, I was more easily able to pin point the motivation behind what I struggled with as a leader and elaborate on my progress with specific scenarios where I was intentionally changing.

As a coach, I felt like she was actively listening and giving me suggestions that best met my needs."

"Working with Kathy helped keep my business operations moving in a positive direction during one of our most challenging seasons. She stepped into a new area and worked hard to develop the necessary skills to ensure she carried out her work with effectiveness and efficiency.

Kathy often served as a non-judgmental listening ear as I navigated some challenging times as a CEO in the process of scaling my business.

She always reminded me of who we wanted to be (as a business, brand, and person) and encouraged me to pursue that, wholeheartedly.

Thank you Kathy for your service at a time when I needed it most!"

“Jenna's coaching transcends traditional methodologies, offering a deeply empathetic and insightful approach that resonates on a personal level. Her ability to connect, understand, and empower is truly exceptional, making her coaching sessions impactful and memorable.

Jenna's expertise in crafting spaces that are both trauma-informed and conducive to healing is unparalleled. Her methods are thoughtful and intentional, prioritizing safety and trust, which significantly enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of her coaching.

Without hesitation, I would welcome the opportunity to work with or hire Jenna again. Her professional attributes, combined with her genuine passion for fostering positive change, make her an outstanding coach and colleague.”

In less formal language, she’s dope. 10/10 would recommend.”

“It was a great experience. And I loved bringing it up in conversation "my life coach, or in my coaching session I learned, etc". I felt like I was more comfortable expressing my feelings but not overthinking what the individuals thought of my statements.

Coaching forced me to say things out loud I was afraid to admit in the past. But it also allowed me to focus on the top negative thoughts that came to mind and still be able to say "it doesn't matter, I am happy". I did feel that the actual sessions were not enough.”

“What struck me most was how Cherry truly listened and got to know me during our sessions. She guided me through exercises to help me find my unique skills, and how to use my own voice to articulate them.

Her coaching and prep for interviews instilled a fearlessness and confidence in me to take them on! Her depth of knowledge, genuine eagerness to help and sound guidance facilitated my career trajectory!”

“This journey was such a great experience!

My coach was equipped with so much to help me with anything that came up. She was professional and in depth, helping me overcome obstacles to the goals I wanted to attain.

I appreciate the insight and tools given during this process that I now can take into my future!”

"Kathy was my first experience with a coach, and I have learned so much and gained tools and resources to support my leadership journey.

She took her time to listen, understand, and really look deeply into the issues and my mindset. She helped encourage and empower me to develop my leadership skills. Kathy was very intentional with our meetings and equipped me with strategies and new language to use in both my personal and professional life. I am grateful to have had this experience and I would recommend Kathy as a coach to others!"

"Kathy is a supportive and caring coach. She pushes you to fulfill your goals while giving you the support you need from behind. She will make sure you are comfortable and cared for. She is insightful on what you're lacking and pushes you to your better self.

I am grateful to have worked with Kathy as she has helped me improve my professional habits and taught me to improve myself as a person.

You will not find a more sincere and motivated coach that will work with you! I recommend Kathy to those who are willing to make a change in their life. You will not be disappointed with working with Kathy!"

"Kathy is the prime example of a strong leader. As my coach, Kathy took the necessary measures to make sure I was fully equipped with the task at hand.

In my performance evaluations, Kathy always pushed me to think outside of the box and be better than good enough. She encouraged me to bring my best self forward, even if it meant getting uncomfortable in order to grow.

And as we worked together more closely over time, she came to know exactly what kind of encouragement would help me most at any given moment. This developed trust and accountability that isn’t bought, but built on giving grace."

"It was such a pleasure to work with Kathy Tan. Kathy continually displayed her compassionate, caring nature. She proved to be empathetic patient and insightful.

Her leadership skills and professional work ethic showcased her true potential to become an effective coach.

I endorse Ms. Tan wholeheartedly, and I’m confident that she will continue to make a relentless effort to create strategies and structures for successful outcomes."
