I’m a 38-year-old Chinese Australian who has lived and worked in multiple countries across Asia. My 15-year career spans aviation, sourcing, and construction. For nearly three years, I’ve been the Singapore partner of Eurasia, a distributor of interior acoustics and lighting products.

Although work consumes most of my time, I also make time to nurture a positive relationship with my girlfriend of nearly three years.

I strive to be a compassionate being that helps others overcome their obstacles and to be an inspiration for others.

My days are pretty hectic so I ground myself with a daily meditation practice with some form of exercise (usually either swimming or yoga).

Faith JS Perh
Faith JS Perh
Occupation : Professional
Hi there! I'm Faith. I'm offering to support those who would like to work with a coach through difficult transitions and other personal/professional issues in these challenging times. My coaching is designed to help you see something you didn’t before, and support you in your capacity for effective action in any area of interest to you.

My professional training is in ontological coaching (which takes a more holistic approach to look at who/how you are being in the situations/actions you are dealing with, which can offer more transformative results) and leadership and organisation development, while my educational and career background is in public policy, international studies, and business. Most of my working life has been in public policy with the Singapore government, though I have also had shorter stints with a medium-sized clean tech company in Hungary, an international organisation in Switzerland, and a social enterprise in Singapore.

My most challenging working experience has been about transitions and unexpected changes – in organisation, industry, role, and personal life too. So those of you experiencing that now - I empathise!

I have lived in the US, Hungary, and China, and call Singapore home. I love
nature and exploration, sports and generally being healthy, reading all kinds of things, and
seeing different perspectives. I’m very much looking forward to what we will learn together.

PROFILE OF GERARD TAN

The last four years have been particularly rewarding for me. I began teaching in a polytechnic in Singapore not long after retirement from corporate life in 2015. The specific areas I have taught are Communications in a Global Workplace, Marketing and Organizational Behavior. I have also found time for volunteer work in Singapore and other countries such as Cambodia, Indonesia and Ethopia.

Thirty-six years in corporate roles provided me many opportunities to experience and appreciate nuances in the concepts and theories of business and people management that are taught in academia. Consequently, I make every effort to illustrate and “bring to life” these concepts to those I teach, in order to make practical sense of them.

In addition, I had the benefit of working in 5 different locations across Asia and North America, 12 years of which were outside of Singapore. The experience of interacting and working with people from many cultures and managing global teams were invaluable.

Admittedly, I continue to have a passion for business endeavors and for sharing knowledge on business management I have acquired. My journey over several business cycles and especially during challenging periods, such as the Asian financial crisis in 1997 and the 2008 Global financial crisis, left indelible lessons for me.

I will be happy to provide a more detailed CV if required.
