You've Rehearsed That Conversation 100 Times.
 Let's Have It For Real.
Rewrite the relationship with Jonathan, the storyteller for Chinese professionals.
Start Today
You're in the right place if...
- You know you need to push back, and every time the moment comes you tell yourself you will raise it next time.
- Something unfair happened to you, a staffing change, feedback you did not see coming.
- You want to give some honest feedback, but you are afraid that saying it makes it worse.
- Underneath it all, you feel out of control of this relationship. (You're not).
No other coach will put this in writing:
You resolve this conflict, or you walk away with a better path ahead that is fully in your control.
The Conflict Turnaround Program
4 Steps from stuck to control.
Diagnose the Situation /span>
- Before we meet. You share the exact emails, chat messages, or review comments they sent you. We work from what was actually said, not from memory, because memory is not reliable and you know it.
- 1-hour strategy session. We'll discuss 3 things in this order:
- Who you are dealing with. I diagnose their communication style and place them in one of the four workplace profiles I have mapped out over years of coaching. We craft our communications according to their profile.

- What is actually going on. I ask you a designed series of questions to find the real cause. Every answer gets anchored to facts instead of feelings, because facts are the only thing you can build a plan on.
- What winning looks like. We lock your goal and, just as important, your non-goals. Everything we build afterwards is built to reach that goal and nothing else.
Build Both Plans
- 1-hour offline session. Pinpoint the exact behavior your manager needs to see to pass you, the habits that produce it, and a daily action map.
- Four 30-min tracking sessions. Using a dedicated PIP tracking doc, we will review your manager's feedback together and adjust your approach so you are always moving toward "pass."
People who were exactly where you are
Some kept their job. One left for a better one. All of them won.
Ling's manager had already drafted the PIP. We negotiated the terms and showed clear improvement fast. In three weeks, her manager dropped it. The PIP was cancelled before it started.
Amy came to us close to being fired. First we helped her pass the PIP. Then we kept going. Nine months later, she got a top performance review and won her company's Performance Award.
Clara's PIP was caused by things she could not control. So we chose to move fast. A focused job search got her a dream offer at TikTok. We also got her severance and a clean exit, so future employers see a good record.
Straight from their messages
Everything it takes to prove them wrong
Losing this job means months without a paycheck, then re-hiring as a "low performer." This program costs a fraction of that.

 Jonathan Li
Career Coach & Former Leader @ Shopify, Uber
"Storytelling was my edge. At 10, I won a nationally-televised English language competition and was interviewed by CBC as the youngest contestant. In high school, I went on to win national presentation championships twice.
In the workplace, telling stories for disruptors like Uber and Shopify, I learned that talent alone isn’t enough. Visibility is built through communication. I grew into leadership by telling the right stories: for my company, for my team, and for myself.
Since 2017, I’ve coached Chinese professionals navigating Western workplaces, reaching over 150,000 followers along the way. My philosophy is simple: if you don’t know how to tell your story, you won’t be seen; no matter how capable you are."
