"I had the chance to work with Liu Liu, and I'm so glad I did! He has an amazing way of making you feel comfortable right from the start with his friendly and calm style. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to intercultural and organisational topics, but where he really excels is coaching you to help you figure out where you stand and what the next steps could be. And I really do like his sense of humour. Our sessions are something I always look forward to. With his guidance, I'm feeling way more confident about sticking to my goals. Highly recommended!"

"I consider Liu Liu to be a great mentor and coach who has understood my learning and professional development needs very empathetically, but also very humanly. I am very satisfied with his reading and analysis of my work situation, and his insights have been immensely valuable. Magda Rios-Mendez, a Columbian project manager working in Bangladesh My experience of being mentored by Liu Liu was outstanding. He helped me set objectives and see the bigger picture regarding my career objectives and what I need to do to get there. He is kind and a great listener who asks all the right questions. Thanks to my sessions with Liu Liu I am much more confident, better understand my worth, and have a clear sense of direction. I cannot recommend him enough, and I feel better lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from him."

"Coaching sessions with Liu have been instrumental in holding a mirror for me to evaluate what excites and motivates me. Liu Liu has a calm, zen style of coaching, is a gifted listener, and asks astute questions. Our sessions opened my eyes to different possibilities and generated ideas of how to fully utilise my strengths and passions."

"Before working with Liu Liu, I had never taken part in formal mentoring, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I was feeling both overwhelmed and stuck at work, so I was eager to try it. I found it so valuable to have someone from outside of my organisation (with no direct stake in my work) to work through my challenges with and be challenged to evolve. Liu Liu is an amazing listener. He is uniquely able to reflect back on what he hears you saying such that I learned new things about myself and gained new insights into both my challenges and opportunities. When I run into challenges now, I regularly ask myself "What would Liu Liu say?""
