WHO’S ERLINA
Hello, I’m Erlina
I'm a certified neurolinguistic and somatic coach, corporate trainer, and facilitator with over 15 years of experience managing cross-cultural teams and stakeholders. I help individuals, teams, and leaders develop intentional, authentic leadership styles through a holistic approach that integrates NLP, somatic practices, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. By tapping into their mind, heart, and intuition, my clients achieve personal and professional growth and make a positive impact in the world.
As a Singaporean, I'm grateful for my country's many advantages, but I also understand the pressures of its demanding pace. Like so many others, I spent my 20s and 30s striving for what I thought I "should" achieve until I realized I had lost touch with my own desires and identity. I was overwhelmed and depleted, neglecting my passions and focusing on practical responsibilities. Looking back, I wish I had had someone to help me navigate the right path. That's why I became a life coach, to assist others in managing their stress and prioritizing what truly matters to them. These are some of the lessons that have shaped my values and approach.
Life lesson #1
True growth stems from the ability to be vulnerable.
This life lesson emphasizes the importance of vulnerability in personal growth and development. By acknowledging and accepting our vulnerabilities, we create opportunities for self-awareness, growth and authenticity.
Opening up and being vulnerable can be challenging, but having a safe space and supportive people around you can make it easier. As your coach, I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore and grow at a pace that works for you. You can trust that I will always have your best interests at heart, and we will only explore new or uncomfortable areas with your explicit permission.
Life lesson #2
Not all who wander are lost.
Wandering or exploring can be a worthwhile journey even if there is no clear destination or plan. It is a reminder that the path towards self-discovery and growth is not always straightforward or linear, and that it is okay to take detours and explore different paths.
Throughout my life, I've wandered through many different paths, each one offering its own unique challenges and lessons. I believe that life is a journey, and that everyone's path is unique and valuable. As your coach, I will always respect your journey and honor the person you are today. I'm here to be your partner as we explore the endless potential within you and help you reach your goals.
Life lesson #3
Lead with your inner wisdom.
The key to true success and fulfillment is to tap into your inner wisdom, the innate intelligence that resides within you. By listening to and trusting your inner wisdom, you can make authentic and purposeful decisions that align with your true self.
As your coach, I understand the value of planning, but I also know that life is complex and can't always be controlled. That's why I will guide you to connect with your inner wisdom and intuition. Together, we will explore techniques that will help you listen to your inner compass, allowing you to discover more possibilities and lead your life with purpose and fulfillment.
Life lesson #4
Embrace your individuality.
Growing up in a bi-racial family with diverse religious and cultural influences, I struggled to fit into a singular identity. As your coach, I will guide you to discover and celebrate what makes you unique and special. You are not defined by external expectations or societal norms, and embracing your individuality will allow you to show up more authentically and impactfully in the world.
Coaching is about shedding light on what truly matters and supporting you in creating meaningful, sustainable change.
