Where are you now?

Mid-Career

You are facing change at the workplace and want to embrace the transition and establish a clear path forward. You may be contemplating a move or career change, or even wanting to start a business.

You may feel overwhelmed and anxious, fearing the unknown whilst feeling excited about fresh opportunities that change can bring. You want to know yourself better so as to have a clear understanding of your options with self-assurance and confidence. You would like to set achievable goals based on what is important to you.

Pre-Retiree

You have built a life-long career and are now looking forward to retirement or contemplating re-employment. This may be within the next 2-3 years, or even in 6 months.

You feel indecisive or insecure towards the future and what it might bring, or optimistic about new beginnings. You may face some self-doubt as the time approaches, but you also see this as an opportunity to rediscover your priorities and interests.

You want to be aware of what truly matters so that you can plan, take action, and find security in your upcoming major life transition.

In Transition

Change is a constant in both our personal and professional lives – a promotion at work, a retrenchment, or a change in domestic matters. You may be at a cross-road in life and figuring out the next steps.

To remain hopeful and prepared, you want to embrace change and seek opportunities for professional or personal growth in the process.

You want to make the best out of the transition, becoming a better version of yourself with deeper self-awareness and a clear compass in life. You want to discover your bigger, bolder goals, perhaps even your purpose in life.

About TheCoachNextDoor

Transformation Coach thriving through Change and Transition in this one, wild and precious life.

Hi, I'm Vincent!

With more than 40 years of work and leadership experience in multi-national corporations, global and local enterprises, and government, I have faced my fair share of personal and professional challenges whilst nurturing my own aspirations. Whilst some of these transitions have indeed caused anxiety and self-doubt, I’ve seized these moments as opportunities for growth.


I now coach executives, management and team leaders, solo-entreprenuers and pre-retirees numbering more than 50 clients at the time of this writing. I also facilitate workshops in personal and professional growth areas such as Basic Coaching Skills, Coaching for Performance & Growth, Performance Management for First Time Managers, Psychological Safety at the Workplace, Practical Counselling and Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, with more than 300 learning participants to-date.


Looking back, it has been my self-awareness and positive mindset and spirit that guides me towards achieving concrete goals which allow me to grow. This energy permeates in those who work with me or who live around me, and it gives me a deep sense of fulfilment to share this energy with you as TheCoachNextDoor.


When you are ready, I am here to help transform you with positive energy to meet change and transition head on.
