The International Coach Federation defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. With coaching competencies and ethics, coaches partner with clients to identify significant goals and priorities, strategise towards them and overcome obstacles that crop up along the way. It is a process of creating breakthroughs one conversation at a time.
Often, the achievement of a desired objective is not when a light bulb lights up in the mind but when the light bulb lights up in one's heart. HEART BULBS hopes to be the catalyst enabling clients to explore infinite possibilities through igniting their heart bulbs.

How did HEART BULBS start?
"I discovered coaching end of 2017 through a workshop that taught on having effective conversations. Through the workshop, I discovered that conversation can be a facilitation process for others to share their stories and their lives. Intrigued by the skills learned and the more invigorating conversations formed, I signed up for coaching training and uncovered that constructive conversations not only establish bonding but possess the ability to transform another person's life. Both my first client and myself were surprised that she was able to achieve something she has always wanted but had not succeeded before. Wowed by the first experience, I continued to coach a few more people and realised that the process creates breakthroughs for every individual just by having one conversation at a time, with one heart bulb lighting up at a time. This motivated me to start HEART BULBS to see more people maximising their potential in accordance to their unique design through a trained coach utilising her coaching competencies and principles."

Incorporation of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® into coaching sessions
People are unique in their own way. Some people find it easy to translate thoughts and emotions into words with the right questions, while others may need time and assistance to organise internally. LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® is a tool that utilises tactile object manipulation to simulate internal processing, hence the phrase “thinking with your hands”.
72-year-old Mr. Ling who experienced LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® for the first time remarked, "When I was told to build, my mind was blank. However, as I begin touching the bricks, thoughts began to form and I knew what I wanted to construct and express."
As LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® has been employed for the last 20 years with effective result of reflection and communication, we have decided to incorporate LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® into our coaching process as an option for our clients. It is especially useful for couple or group coaching, when concurrent reflection is desired without one party influencing the the other unnecessarily, before facilitating the process of a co-designed shared vision.

Cindy always has a passion for people. In her first job as sales and marketing executive for overseas markets, she enjoyed the process of drawing out and meeting the needs of diverse customers with varying culture and demands. Subsequently, as a life skill and leadership development trainer and sales team leader, she developed a love for growing people towards their potential through the enhancement of personal management and leadership competence. Her empathy and love for people further deepened when she worked as a secondary school teacher with MOE (Ministry of Education, Singapore). As a teacher and youth worker for more than a decade, her greatest sense of achievement lies not in her students obtaining excellent grades but in their ability to create breakthroughs for themselves, both academically and non-academically. In pursuit of people development, Cindy has become a professional coach (ICF - International Coach Federation accredited) and a certified LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® facilitator. With the skills learned, she has found much delight in enabling others to reach towards their desired goals and versions of themselves through the process of coaching.
