Heather Wong, M.Ed., ACC

I'm Heather Wong — an ICF-certified leadership coach in Austin, TX. I work with founders, executives, and business owners ready to lead with more presence, navigate complexity, and create lasting impact.

Welcome

Coaching isn’t just what I do — it’s how I live. It’s how I make decisions, navigate hard seasons, and stay honest with myself about what matters.

I’m Heather Wong. My job isn’t to hand you answers. It’s to ask the questions that make your own answers impossible to ignore.

How I work

Most coaches work at one level — the person or the system. I work at both, because I've lived at both.

I'm not here to hand you answers. I stay with the complexity until the real question shows up — the one underneath the one you came in with. Then I hand it back to you. Founders and executives tell me that's the thing they can't find anywhere else.

The work has to land in the body to last. Embodied leadership is something I've learned from years of sitting in hard rooms with people who needed more than a framework.
