Bio
Edward Hsu
Ken is not just another coach, he is a friend of mine, a confidant and if I have a problem at work, I would not hesitate to seek his advice. It is because Ken is a kind soul, and he is willing to help others to advance their careers. Ken's approach is pragmatic and is driven by results. He makes sure that the responsibility of reaching the career goals lies with the individual. So commitment means true to oneself. Each small goal is a small promise and achieving one means a step forward and worth celebration. He was with me when setbacks appear, and he was there when issues have to be addressed, and he was there when we celebrated each other's success. I would recommend Ken to you any time, because of his good nature to care for you. And he knows how.

I got to know Ken as a fellow student at the SF Coaching Certification training under BRIEF Academy about 2 years ago. Throughout the 7-month training, Ken has been thoughtful, patient and humble despite the fact that he was clearly a much more experienced coach than most of us in that class. Since then, Ken has continued to journey with us and has been sincere, helpful , very down to earth and pragmatic in the ways he empowers and encourages fellow coaches/ coachees in our respective journeys. I want to applaud and reaffirm Ken's strength as coach as well as a reliable and trustworthy colleague.
