I am a resilience coach that helps connect you to your courage, conviction and creativity to be the change you wish to see in the world.

Thu Nguyen

Thu graduated from University of Waterloo with a degree in Computer Engineering. She spent 10+ years in semiconductor and telecom companies in R&D and application engineering roles, followed by 10+ years in startup leadership positions including Simply Good and LogDNA, plus co-founding Instadoodle and Flowzo.

She became a certified coach through Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) in 2019, received ACC certification from International Coaching Federation (ICF) in 2020, and PCC certification in 2022.

Her background spans supporting Fortune 500 leaders, academic professors, and non-profit social change leaders. She facilitates workshops on Positive Intelligence, Body Intelligence, Authentic Leadership, and Gender Equity & Reconciliation.

She created the 12-week Embodied Self Circle starting in 2022, now in its fifth year.

“Rarely are there safe spaces where someone gets you, sees your whole self and holds you.”

I take a Whole Person approach, knowing that personal thriving is related to professional outcomes. I am a good listener, compassionate, and creative. I take a collaborative and practical approach to coaching, weaving together somatic practices, nervous system regulation, and leadership development.
