About Wai Kwan
Hi, I'm Vicky; tech professional worked across five continents.
I broke into product management with zero technical background, and I've been promoted every single year since; as a non-European navigating rooms that weren't built with me in mind.
The one skill that made that possible wasn't my resume. It was knowing how to speak up, manage upward, and make sure the right people knew what I was doing and why it mattered.
I spent 10 years in software product management across the EU, US, and Asia, which meant constantly building influence without formal authority — pitching ideas to skeptical stakeholders, negotiating with leadership, and making myself heard in rooms. I later trained as an ICF-certified coach, alongside the Design Your Life methodologies, so I could turn what worked for me into something teachable.
I now coach people; especially mid-career professionals, on the exact public speaking and self-advocacy skills that turn good work into visible work.
If you've ever left a meeting knowing you had the better idea but someone else got the credit — or hesitated before asking for the raise you'd earned — this is for you.
Public speaking isn't about being the loudest person in the room; it's about being impossible to overlook.
Let's build the presence and articulation that gets you noticed, promoted, and paid what you're worth.
Book your first session and let's start.
I've taught English and Spanish to adults for over 10 years, both through online platforms and in schools — so helping people find their voice, literally, is where I started. For the last 5 years, I've worked as a professional coach, and I'm an active member of Toastmasters, where I also mentor at Toastmasters Vienna. I mentor through a professional women's network and on ADP List as well. Across all of this, I've helped 200+ professionals build the confidence and visibility to speak up in the moments that matter — and finally ask for the things they want.

Do you want the salary increase you know you've earned? The promotion that keeps going to someone else?
Do you want to walk into a room full of colleagues and actually feel confident — not just look like you are?
Do you want more influence, more persuasion, more presence — at work and in your life?
If any of that is true, this session is for you.
Here's what makes this different:
I don't just teach public speaking technique. I combine it with coaching — because the real block was never your skill.
Skill can be trained. What's actually stopping you is the fear underneath it: the story you've been telling yourself about what happens when all eyes are on you.
So before we work on how you speak, we work on why you've been afraid to.
That's the part most training skips — and it's the part that makes the change stick. 99% of my students never go back to who they were before.
If you're ready to stop shrinking and start being impossible to overlook, book your first session with me now.
