Rising Giants - N.31 Joey Ra, Transformation Coach & Founder of Cambodia Coaching Institute

Rising Giants

In today's episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Joey Ra. Joey is Cambodia's only Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and the Founder of Cambodia's Coaching Institute, the country's first professional coaching training program.

Born in Korea and raised in the UK, he now works to nurture and grow coaching in Cambodia and beyond, serving as teacher and mentor to coaches in the region. In pursuit of this mission, he has trained over 100 leaders in Cambodia to be professional coaches or leader-as-coach. He has a particular interest in the impact of trauma on the long-term behaviors of individuals and communities. Joey has also partnered with over 80 leaders around the globe, aiming for deep inner transformation that leads to lasting improvements in happiness and performance.

What we get into:

- What it was like to build a coaching business from scratch in a country where the concept and industry still remain taboo and nascent

- The key difference between psychiatrists, psychologists, and coaches; 'coaches deal with people at the line or above it and try to get them to that next level of transformation and wholeness'

- Joey's ambitions for helping spur and nurture Cambodia's next cohort of life coaches via his work at the Cambodia Coaching Institute
