About Lauren
Hi, I am Lauren Wong and I am a Goals and Manifestation Coach. As someone who has always thrived in setting and reaching their own goals, as a Goals Coach, I use my experience and skills to help others set and reach their goals. Although I got my certification in coaching and launched my coaching business just recently in 2022, I've had extensive experience in mentoring and have been helping individuals achieve their goals as a private academic tutor for 9+ years and an undergrad mentor for 3+ years. Although this was initially just a side job and volunteer role that I enjoyed, in 2021, after deep reflection during 2020 Covid times and a life changing trip to Taiwan, I realized that coaching was my true life passion. I embraced my natural ability in coaching and supporting others and assisted my local Taiwanese friends in their application to Graduate school in the States -- feeling truly fulfilled when I was able to help them get accepted to their dream program. So in 2022, I launched my coaching business, utilizing my tutoring and mentoring experience, along with my Bachelor degrees from UC Berkeley and MBA from UCLA Anderson, to help individuals reach their goals in the form of higher education and admissions. Since my launch I've helped clients get accepted into top MBA and masters program including UC Berkeley Haas, USC Marshall, Duke Fuqua, Kellogg, Ross, UCLA Anderson, INSEAD and more! As a coach, I work with my clients on delivering concrete results by providing support, edits, and feedback on clients' application. I also prioritize developing my client's confidence, empowering them with sustainable habits to help them set and reach goals, beyond just academics.
Why do I coach?
I coach because it utilizes my skills and natural ability to support others in reaching their goals - which truly fulfills me! Growing up, I've always had my own difficult share of hardships in life. However, despite these difficulties, I've always been able to set and achieve goals in my life through a combination of grit, learning to accept "failure", and gratefully, having coach figures support me throughout my life. Throughout my achievements, I've learned that having the support and perspective of a coach who has also preserved has been crucial to my success. Thus as a coach, I aim to do the same, using my experience to provide concrete and tangible assistance, and my enthusiastic energy to support my clients and develop their confidence. Most importantly, I coach because inspiring and helping others reach their goals truly fulfills me.
