What is CoachingAF all about?
Let's start with what coaching with Aaron is all about
Coaching involves working with someone to deal with an unresolved issue. That issue can be anything, including but not limited to the following:
- How do I find a job where I love to go to work?
- What elements should I consider in my next job?
- Why am I so unfulfilled in my current role?
- What steps do I need to take to be the best version of myself?
- Where do I see myself in five years?
- How can I take on activities (paid or volunteer) that are deeply meaningful?
Coaching is NOT about me telling you what to do - it's about helping you to realize the innate power and confidence you've had all along. My role is to guide and shepherd.
Once we get further into the career exploration journey, I often help my clients address:
- Resume review
- Interview prep
- Mastering how to tell stories
- Identifying target companies and roles
- Redefining the role of work in one's life
- Maintaining work-life balance
- and many other elements!
Who do you work with and what do you work on?

-Feedback and perceptions from direct reports, bosses, customers, and other stakeholders

-Processing feedback from customers, direct reports, the market, etc.

But what does the AF mean?
"AF" means "as f*ck" and is an expression used (often by millennials) to mean "very" or "really."
As in, "that concert was fun af," or really fun.
For you non-millenials, AF simply stands for my initials (Aaron Fung).
