My journey with CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder) began in 2010 during a management team-building event. This tool significantly improved our awareness of our talents, and as we applied this knowledge to ourselves and our team, we saw better results and increased satisfaction.
In 2016, I took a sabbatical and pursued certification as a Strengths Coach in Bangkok. Later, in 2019, I received advanced certification from Gallup's Headquarters in Omaha. I have coached new leaders across various industries, from management to executive levels, often beginning with work-related goals but ultimately addressing personal health, wealth, and relationships from a holistic perspective. My strategic approach involves understanding clients' needs and challenges, designing tailored steps to overcome them, and employing various methods such as one-on-one coaching, team activities, and workshops.
Before becoming an executive coach and mentor, I had a diverse 25-year career journey, working as a computer engineer, a short-lived entrepreneur, and a webmaster for a financial portal before the dotcom bubble burst. I joined another struggling dotcom venture and, together with my Swedish boss, we turned it profitable and eventually listed it on the Market of Alternative Investment (mai) in 2005. Following a joint venture with a global ad firm, we expanded our business 20-fold, offering services to 300+ clients and achieving remarkable success.
In 2017, I took on the challenge of leading a group of companies, emphasizing the importance of a strong executive management team. Our success continued, and in 2019, we retained our top position in the market and received the Country of the Year award.
Outside of my professional life, I am a proud father, an avid marathon runner with the goal of running a marathon in each of Thailand's 77 provinces, and a firm believer in my favorite quote:
“Success in life is measured by the number of days that a person is truly happy.”
