This Brave Space
This is a space created for people and systems to slow down, to notice, and to reconnect with what matters.
It is a place for honest conversations, courageous reflection, and the work of becoming more whole together.
The person holding this space
This space is held by Chuen - Yin, a leadership and organisation development consultant, facilitator and coach.
Before this work, she spent many years in Singapore’s Ministry of Education, walking alongside school leaders and systems through change, uncertainty and growth. She has served as a school leader and a system leader, and understands from the inside what it means to hold responsibility for people, learning and possibility.
This Brave Space grew from that lived experience. A quiet knowing that leaders and systems do not shift through pressure alone, but through safety, honesty and presence. When these are present, both human beings and whole systems begin to change.
Who is this for
This space is for people who carry responsibility for others.
For leaders, leadership teams, and those working in complex human systems who feel the weight of decisions, relationships and change.
For those who sense that something needs to shift, even if it is not yet clear what that is.
You don’t need to have the answers.
You just need to pause and listen with an open heart and mind.
What We Do Together
Cultivating the Leader Within
For individual leaders and coaches who want to deepen their presence, self-awareness and way of being. A space to reflect, sense and grow from the inside out.
This often looks like one-to-one coaching, reflective dialogue, and embodied practices that help leaders become more aware of how they are showing up. We work with the whole person, not just their role or performance.
Strengthening Human Systems
For leadership teams and communities who want to work with what is happening between people. Where patterns, relationships and shared ways of working can be seen and shifted.
This may take the form of facilitated conversations, leadership team retreats, or sensemaking sessions that allow groups to see patterns, tensions and possibilities more clearly.
Navigating Change with Courage
For organisations moving through transition, tension or uncertainty. A place to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and move forward with greater clarity and care.
This may include designing and holding spaces for dialogue, transition and renewal, where people can name what is difficult, what is emerging, and what is needed next.
However you arrive, the work begins with listening to what is alive in you and in the system. From there, we take the next step together.
