Are entrepreneurs naturally entrepreneurial leaders?
Can corporate leaders be entrepreneurial leaders?
(I can outrightly say YES to this question, because you are now browsing the portfolio of someone who did just that!)
Entrepreneurship really isn’t just about starting a business. It’s also about entrepreneurial leadership.
Leading in a corporate world doesn’t stop you from being an entrepreneurial leader.
Entrepreneurs are often driven by ideas.
They’re the risk-takers, the go-getters who breathe life into a concept, navigate uncertainty, and hustle to get things off the ground.
Suffice to say that the focus of entrepreneurship is on creation and value.
𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, do more than build; they 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞.
They take their team with them on the journey, balancing growth with purpose, nurturing talent, and aligning people around a shared vision.
While entrepreneurs may excel at starting businesses, it is the entrepreneurial leadership qualities that scale and sustain them.

Conversations with Candice reflected truth and cut through the veils which we blind ourselves with- revealing blind spots, and reminding me of my own unique strengths which make me, me.

Candice’s unique ability to pinpoint my blind spots and gently guide me towards overcoming them is truly remarkable. She celebrates my improvements—even when I struggle to recognise them. Her unwavering belief in my abilities gives me the confidence to push past my limitations and strive for excellence. She introduced me to frameworks and built my business acumen, significantly improving my decision-making and strategic planning.

Today, as I lead Boulder Planet's expansion across SEA markets, she continues to challenge, inspire, and push me to reach new heights, personally and professionally.
I'll never forget the moment I was first coached by Candice.
Joanne Teh, Assistant Director, Business Development and Strategic Partnerships, Innovation of Infocomm-Media Development Authority of Singapore; Public Sector; Singapore
I was a newly minted manager, tasked with a new portfolio and managing a newly formed and much larger team. On top of this, I was pursuing my Masters, juggling moving house and managing 3 young children. It was a time of flux, changes and I was grappling with so much self-doubt - Am I good though? Why me? Why now?
That's when a seasoned coach, Candice Lim, stepped into my life and helped me to reframe. Through our coaching sessions, I discovered a newfound clarity and confidence that I hadn't experienced before. She not only helped me navigate through challenges but also empowered me to unlock my potential and pursue my passions with purpose.
Our Coaching Conversations:
Our Exploratory Chat
We begin our exploratory conversation by finding alignment in our core values of life, which play a very critical role in ensuring that our subsequent engagement resonate well with you. We then go on to understand your vision, needs and challenges. We calibrate expectations, and land on some mutually agreed goals for our sessions.
Our Conversations take off
Futures | Strategies | Plans. Our conversations begin. We explore probable and preferred futures for you and your organisation. Our conversations oscillate between divergence to explore and convergence to land. While looking to the future, we design strategies and plans, and ensure you stay on track in financial performance and strategic progress. I work alongside you as you chart your own course and operationalise your plans.
Leadership. More than that, I’d like to inspire you through meaningful conversations that allow you to introspectively know the leader in you - your leadership beliefs and personal values that influence your leadership style, hence unearthing blind spots and potential yet to be maximised.
There is ‘space’ in our convo for your reflection and thinking. There are also structures to frame conversations and tools for actionables that focus on outcomes and lead you to results.
We don’t discuss theories and philosophies on their own. We use real cases at work to help you ‘land’.
Our Conversations land
