Dr Hee Soo Yin, Executive Director and Principal, Career and Life Design Consulting is a “people developer” at heart, passionate about helping individuals develop personally, professionally and holistically to realise their potential. Trained as a lawyer, Soo Yin practised law for five years before following her heart to make a career change to education. On her more than twenty years in Senior Management roles, she says, "What provided a strong anchor and gave me much joy as I navigated numerous career transitions and multiple roles in private, public organisations and in government was to be able to connect with my passion for people development, developing individuals, teams and myself on-the-job as we worked to deliver value and excellence in organisational outcomes." Soo Yin's interest in how people learn and develop can be seen in her research on learning and the pioneering of new approaches to enhance learning in various formal and informal contexts. Her doctoral research findings on how leaders in education learn and how they develop their professional identities convinced her that as individuals grow in self-awareness, accessing more of what they may not yet be conscious of, they become more free to grow and act in congruence with who they are, their values, interests and strengths and what matters to them in both work and life. Soo Yin's research also found that how individuals relate to themselves, others and the world involves the cognitive, affective and conative which is adaptable and involves an iterative process of "outside-in" interactions with self, others and the environment with "inside-out" constructions of their identity. Working with a coach using "inside-out" and "outside-in" approaches to clarify current realities, what individuals want and what matters to them, their perceptions and hidden assumptions that limit and keep them 'stuck' can help individuals pivot to construct new identities, embrace new mindsets, change what they do and how they "show up" in the world. This will help move them closer towards achieving what is important to them. She says, "Career and Life Design's unique blend of 'inside-out' and 'outside-in' approaches are designed to help individuals and teams engage more authentically with themselves, others and with the environment to thrive at work and in life." She sees organisations as first of all, human enterprises. Working to foster a culture which honours what is unique of individuals and teams and what is deeply human will enable individuals to bring their best self to work with others to respond more dynamically and sustainably to the complex needs of a world in constant change and disruption.
