Sohyoung Choo Ward

Sohyoung's coaching approach is based on the guiding principles and working premises of awareness and focus, intuition and imagination, will and love. 
It taps into the parts of us that are far beyond what we think we know and what we feel are possible for us within the bounds of how we assume the world works.
Owner and Founder of True Level Leaders, Sohyoung's authentic passion and mission is to coach and train leaders and high-performance entities to create what they love and serve the world with their vision and heart. Sohyoung is also an artist, writer, mother of two children and wife to a wonderful human. Sohyoung will freely admit she is formerly an addict to all things analytical with various side gigs. Her journey includes being a physicist and economist by education, a portfolio analyst and a restructuring attorney by profession, and a holistic health counselor and yoga teacher by curiosity.
