Clarity is often described as a leadership superpower. But what does it really look like to cultivate clarity, not just in our work, but in our everyday lives? In this episode, Irene Chia, President of the Asia Pacific Alliance of Coaches, unpacks how clarity has shaped her approach as both a leader and a coach. Rather than dwelling on setbacks or letting pain define us, Irene suggests focusing on the lessons each experience offers.

Her insight? Hang onto the learning, and let go of the hurt. It’s a subtle but profound shift that empowers individuals to move forward, stronger and more purposeful. For Irene, clarity isn’t about having all the answers right away. It’s about asking herself what’s truly meaningful, and considering how her daily choices can make an impact that lasts beyond her own generation.

Irene Chia is the President of the Asia Pacific Alliance of Coaches (APAC) and a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), bringing over 20 years of experience helping leaders and teams grow with clarity and confidence.
