The realization in the declining motivation and drive in Jon's 13 years of financial corporate experience (Regional and Global roles in various Multi National Corporations) prompted the start of his self-reflection and self-discovery journey.
In the midst, he became aware of certain childhood dynamics through the works of a psychodrama therapist and this become an inspiration for him to explore the counselling career. He thus embarked on his mid-career transition journey since Jun 2021 that affirms his belief in the importance of the world of “heart” instead of the “mind”.
