Writing My Own Story
I am a cross-functional Program Operations and Talent Development Leader, Facilitator, and Executive Coach who bridges the gap between high-level executive vision and organizational scale. Whether leading enterprise-wide initiatives as a Senior Program Manager, driving organizational resilience as a Leadership Development Manager, or empowering high-performing talent as an Executive & Career Coach, I uncover operational gaps and connect the dots between high-level strategy, career development, and day-to-day reality.
Operating at the intersection of operations, people, and technology, I collaborate across HR, Sales, IT, and L&D to translate corporate strategies into measurable organizational success.
My expertise lies in developing practical frameworks that drive process improvements for clients. I am proud to have partnered with and enabled 1K+ professionals across entertainment, finance and technology industries, aligning all levels with individual contributors to executive leaders to achieve business success. Whether integrating “Human-in-the-Loop” AI to streamline workflows, managing high-volume enterprise clients for Fortune 100 companies, or advising on diverse initiatives from program to leadership development, I partner with you to deliver workforce enablement solutions that stick.
My career is built on impactful communication and lived resilience. I hold a Masters in Divinity and a Bachelors in Journalism and Political Science, bringing 18+ years of combined experience as a writer, pastor, trainer and facilitator, corporate and non-profit communications professional. As a former journalist, my superpower is asking the right questions and synthesizing complex information into clear, powerful messaging.
As a disabled Asian American woman, I have a firsthand understanding of the consequences of organizational burnout. I don’t just advocate for workflow efficiency; I build resilient organizational environments that safeguard employee well-being while driving business growth. I combine the deep empathy required to support individuals with the strict operational discipline required to report on ROI.
I look forward to my next YES, partnering with your team to align your organizational, business, career and human goals.
My Name is
Kyung-Ah
For years my name was King Kong.
People couldn’t pronounce my name. And although a few people would actually try, many would end up saying King Kong, or some variation of it.
Thinking it was “cute”.
I joined my high school’s swim team, but I didn’t know how to swim.
It was my junior year of high school.
I convinced my high school AP History teacher, who was also the head swim coach, to let me join the team.
He said he wished he could hire both of us.
I asked him why not, and asked to see his organization chart, and left the interview with a smile.
One week later I was hired.
