Empowering You to Own
Your Uniqueness & Shine

Hello, I’m Optima Coach Lee

& I can help you optimize your amazing talent!

 

I believe every person is born & blessed with a unique, innate core nature that’s called Natural Talent. Your Natural Talent is where your strengths are and where you are most likely to succeed. When you are able to leverage your strengths in the right jobs, magic happens!  You are effective, creative, and passionate about what you do. Most importantly, you will find true success & happiness.

I founded The Optima Coach to provide “Strength Awareness” career & life coaching and talent optimization consulting to individuals & organizations. My mission is to empower you to capitalize on your unique strength & to achieve the best of yourself in life.

As your Optima Coach, I hope to empower you to:

  • Be proud of who you are

  • Become who you are meant to be

  • Do what you were born to do

  • Own your uniqueness

  • Own your life

Our Beliefs

 

Every one of us is born with unique natural talents & gifts, they are hard-wired into us, we don’t learn them and we can’t ignore them, they are just part of who we are. Nobody is good with everything, but everybody is good with something. Like an Olympic athlete, when you push your natural talent with lots of training & practice, this innate wiring will become your super strength and that is where you have the highest potential to succeed. To truly standout, one must utilize that core nature in the right place.  

Our 3 Core Beliefs:

  • Wherever your most natural talent lies, also lies your highest potential

  • Only when you operate from strength, you can achieve true excellence

  • You cannot be anything you want to be, but you can be a lot more than who you already are

Our Vision

Even though we know you can be “okay” or even “good” at many things, fundamentally, we believe each person has certain areas where they can be absolutely “brilliant” or be one of the “best” in their field. Our philosophy is that we ought to focus on areas where we have the potential to be brilliant & best, rather than on areas where we are just being “okay” or “good”.  

Unlike many other programs focus on fixing your weaknesses & shortcomings, our programs focus on helping you identify and optimize your inborn Natural Talent, and leverage your greatest strength in your career and life. By helping you discover your natural, inborn talents, we help you become more of who you were meant to be – by tapping into more of who you already are. 

We believe you will be dramatically more effective, fulfilled, and happy when you are able to focus on the best of yourself. When you pursue your true-life passion and career calling, magic happens! You have a clear vision of the success you want to achieve; you are energetic, enthusiastic, and care about what you do at work; you reach your full potential to live an extraordinary life, and you will make your greatest possible contribution to the world.

Celebrate what’s right about you!
