Hi, I’m Lee Lam and I am a Professional Life Coach. I have my own coaching practice, Lee Lam Coaching which was established in 2004.

Why do I love coaching so much? Well, I find it fascinating that people are coming to realise that the quest for material wealth and social recognition is not actually making them happy at all – instead it tends to bring its own set of problems. Clients I have worked with all have one thing in common – they are fed up with their life as it is now and they are ready to make a change. I am so privileged to be in their lives at this time, as they really review their life and what it means to them. To see the transformation in their spirits as they start to understand what they are capable of is absolutely mind-blowing. I have worked with some fundamentally awe-inspiring people, who have had the courage to work towards their dreams and I consider it my honour to be involved in that process.

I know coaching works. Because of this, I enthuse my clients with the same belief – if it is successful, my job is made all the more easier as they get carried away on their own momentum. If needed, I will challenge their assumptions and limitations; otherwise I just give them the space they need to start moving.

My history is varied, to say the least. I graduated in 1994 with a Joint Honours in Law and American Studies. Having decided that a law career would not suit me, I applied for graduate jobs within IT and was taken on by a major bank, knowing practically nothing about technology, apart from the on switch on a computer! Thankfully, I learnt quickly and was soon supporting the trading floor in London. After a brief spell in a fund management company, I moved to another investment bank where I was promoted to service manager and worked the usual 16 hour days, as does everyone in that industry. I realised after a few years that I wanted to work with people, not computers and so I embarked on my training course for coaching – and instantly fell in love with it! I now use my experience in other industries to better understand my clients, which I think they appreciate! I am also living proof that you are never too old to change careers!

As you can hopefully tell, I love my life. I have an amazing loving family, a fantastic group of friends, a job that I love and pastimes that certainly keep me busy! The main thing for me is the ability to retain my humour – and to show people how to rediscover theirs.

We all have so much to offer this world – I have made it my job to help as many people as I can so they can make their own contribution.
