Bringing emotional intelligence into workplace culture and team dynamics. She’s worked with multinational corporations to develop EQ assessment frameworks and coaching programs that measurably improve communication and retention.
Rebecca’s Path to EQ Expertise
Rebecca’s journey into emotional intelligence started earlier than most. During her early career as an organizational psychologist, she noticed something curious — the most technically skilled professionals weren’t always the most successful. Some struggled with team dynamics. Others burned out despite strong track records. She became fascinated by what separated the resilient from the overwhelmed.
It wasn’t about working harder. It was about emotional awareness. That realization shifted everything. She dove into research, completed her Master’s degree at the University of Hong Kong, and spent five years developing EQ assessment frameworks for multinational corporations across Hong Kong’s finance, technology, and healthcare sectors.
In 2015, she founded her own coaching practice. Since then, she’s worked with over 2,000 professionals — from junior managers navigating their first leadership role to executives managing complex teams across time zones. Her research on active listening practices in diverse Hong Kong social settings has been published in regional professional journals.
What drives her work? The belief that emotional intelligence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s a learnable skill. And in Hong Kong’s fast-paced, high-pressure environment, it’s not a luxury — it’s essential. She combines Western psychological research with mindfulness practices suited to local context, helping professionals recognize patterns and respond more effectively to stress.
