What to Expect from the Consultation

The purpose of a consultation session is twofold: first, to develop a clear understanding of the career challenge you are facing, and second, to generate fresh insights and actionable ideas to help you tackle it.

  • To start, we will do a short grounding exercise (about 2 minutes) to help you focus, or, if you prefer, we can jump right into the conversation. I will then take an active listening role as we discuss your challenge, asking questions to draw out details.

  • We will then define the scope of what we aim to accomplish during the session. This lays the groundwork for problem-solving.

  • During the next part of the consultation, we will share ideas and identify actionable steps, and I will also offer my targeted advice. There is also time to cover any questions you have. In some cases, a follow-up note might be needed for clarity or reference, and I will send it along with the recording.

The session is designed to begin with broad exploration and discovery and end with concrete and practical insights.

Coaching Programs

Two coaching programs that create sustained growth through progressive and personalized development, with deeper support.

  • Focused Support Package ($825, 3 sessions): Ideal for working through defined challenges that require broader and deeper exploration than a single-session consultation. At program completion, I provide a written synthesis summarizing key insights and personalized recommendations to guide your future progress.

  • Sustained Support Program ($2750, 10 sessions): Designed for significant professional growth or navigating complex situations. Our extended partnership allows us to address varying challenges as they emerge while maintaining consistent focus on your broader development goals. Similar to the three-session package, I provide a written synthesis at program completion. You will also have ongoing access to me via WhatsApp between sessions for real-time guidance on critical decisions and unexpected situations throughout your development journey.

"I had the privilege of working with Pian through several 'Focused Support Packages' during a pivotal year in my academic career. At the time, I was navigating an open-ended project that demanded deep creative thinking, several later-stage papers moving through the publication process, and multiple conference presentations. Pian's guidance was instrumental to my success in all these areas. Each session allowed us to tackle challenges head-on, leaving me with a renewed sense of calm and creative energy. Thanks to Pian, my work-life balance improved as well."

My approach is most effective for individuals who are open to new ideas, enjoy exploring multiple perspectives, thrive on tackling complex challenges, and think deeply.

Our thought partnership unfolds in three phases: first, Discovery, where we explore patterns and possibilities; then, Insight Development, where we identify key leverage points for change; and finally, Strategic Implementation, where we turn insights into practical, sustainable actions.

Coaching and Consultation Philosophy at Sight Sphere

In my view, a successful coaching or consultation session is one where we engage in honest dialogue. It is a collaborative journey where we explore an issue from both our perspectives and exchange ideas dynamically. Trust is the cornerstone of this discovery process as it facilitates open and effective communication.

Below is a set of guidelines that I have developed at Sight Sphere.

  • Our sessions are guided by your rhythm. If you need time to pause, reflect, or simply sit with a question before responding, I fully support and encourage that. There’s no pressure to rush or provide immediate answers. You also always have the autonomy to choose whether to respond to a question or participate in an exercise during our sessions.

  • At the heart of my commitment to fostering a trust-based environment is deep listening. This means observing and acknowledging your perspectives fully. There is no rush to push for a resolution, as developing a clear and comprehensive understanding first is foundational. Trust is the cornerstone of this process.

    I cultivate trust by honoring and recognizing your full experience—your thoughts, actions, and their connection to your fundamental human needs. This approach is rooted in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) principles.

    By listening beyond the surface, I help you uncover patterns, clarify what truly matters, and navigate challenges with greater self-awareness.

  • I follow strict confidentiality guidelines set by the International Coaching Community Standards and Code of Ethics. Our sessions create a secure, judgment-free space for open and honest exploration of personal topics.

  • Valuable insights emerge when we create space for focused attention. That’s why I ask you to set aside distractions during our sessions, allowing for deeper exploration and meaningful discovery.

  • When your body is at ease, your mind becomes more receptive to new perspectives and deeper understanding. True transformation rarely comes from intellectual effort alone, and is often bolstered by physical awareness and energetic shifts. I incorporate brief mindfulness exercises at the start of our sessions, as needed, to help you transition from external demands to a state of attentive calm. I may also invite us to take a pause during a conversation, so that we can ground ourselves in our surroundings. These exercises are designed to clear mental roadblocks, enhancing the effectiveness of our work.
