Kelvin Loke is a ICF Certified Coach, who received his coach training with Catalyst Global Coaching, Australia. He is also a Mental Health First Aider trained by the Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA). He specialises in empowerment coaching, with a strong focus on growth mindset, personal impact, agility & resilience, and effective communication. Driven by his passion to care and inspire others to grow, he helps young professionals and new people managers to discover within and drive their purpose.

After navigating through the corporate world for 20 years, experiencing both as an individual contributor and a people leader, Kelvin’s career journey awakened him on how complex and confusing the ropes can be for himself and others. It helped him to see the circumstances that resulted in some people unconsciously boxing themselves in their fixed mindset or comfort zone despite having the potential to be their empowered self. With the learnings and insights he gathered, he is determined to support and build others up at every possible moment.

Kelvin’s experience in coaching and training has been strengthened when he championed learning, talent management & organisational development across a few organisations. In that capacity, he engaged individuals, ranging from management trainees to senior leaders, through regular check-in, mentoring and coaching sessions to help them unlock their potential and achieve their development objectives. In 2021, his commitment to his passion saw him leave the corporate world and undertake the coaching profession on his own.
